How much food does the Brentwood 985117018M hold?

The pot holds about 0.47 gallons, roughly two quarts. That is enough for a stew or pasta for one or two people, not a family meal.

Can it sear or fry meat?

No. It tops out at 350°F and has no browning mode, so it is built for boiling, steaming, stewing and pasta rather than searing.

Does it shut off on its own?

Yes. It has automatic shutdown, which helps if you forget it is running. There is no timer display, so you still need to watch cooking times.

Is the lid and pot dishwasher safe?

The glass lid and steam tray are best washed by hand to protect the handle and finish. Check the base is unplugged and fully cool before cleaning.

How does it compare with a larger multi cooker?

It is smaller and simpler. Larger multi cookers add pressure cooking, browning and preset programs, while this one covers basic boiling, steaming, stew and pasta at a low wattage.

Our take on the Brentwood 985117018M

The Brentwood 985117018M is a small round electric cooker with a glass lid, a steam tray and a heat-shielded handle. It runs at 600 watts and tops out at 350°F, with three programs covering stew, steaming, pasta and boiling. Its 0.47-gallon pot is sized for one or two people, so it suits dorm rooms, small kitchens and quick side dishes. Against larger multi cookers it gives up capacity, pressure cooking and precise temperature control, but it is simple to use and easy to store.
