Can the SPT EPC-13C brown or sear meat?

No. Its maximum temperature is 176°F, so it simmers and steams but cannot sear. Brown meat in a pan first if you want crust.

How much food does it hold?

The pot holds 1.62 gallons, about 6.2 quarts, which is enough for a large stew or several cups of rice. It suits four to six people.

No. It is a slow cooker and steamer with a timer and keep-warm, not a pressurized model. Cook times are longer than a pressure cooker's.

The cooker, its stainless steel pot, a steam tray and a 4-foot cord. Check the listing for a lid and measuring cup, since bundles vary.

It is ETL listed and has a keep-warm function, but follow the manual's limits. Do not leave food on warm for many hours.
