SPT SS-301 Multi-Cooker Shabu Shabu and Grill Review

This is a really nice stainless steel pot for shabu shabu. Haven't tried the grill pan yet. But looks like fun to cook in it. The only thing is the power cord is too short. I have to buy extension to reach the outlet on the wall. You are supposed to put this pot on the table and have the shabu shabu, not on the cooking counter. That's why I only give it 4 stars.

George Foreman RC0010B Smart Kitchen 30-Cup Digital Multicooker with Sear Setting Review

I got my multicooker on Saturday and used it for dinner. I found that it reaches the set temperature quickly so you need to be prepared for that. Other electric cookers I have used take longer to reach operating temperature. The meal came out fine and the multicooker cleaned up easily.
I got this product because my Cuisinart rice cooker is annoying to use and difficult to do other things than just cook rice. This product has a much larger steam basket than the Cuisinart. It is also more versatile than my Presto multicooker. That has a terrible steaming option and can't cook rice.
Some people complain about the lack of instructions. The booklet that comes in the box is shorter than the PDF version which is found on the product's home page. Do a google on George Foreman multicooker and you'll see the link for the PDF. That version of the manual has detailed rice cooking and steaming instructions. It has some recipes too.
Some people complain about the lack of recipes. I am a vegetarian and am almost vegan now. No appliances provide recipes that fit my needs. I still manage to cook and make use of the products. If you know how to cook something you should be able to figure out how to cook in the multicooker. If you buy a new skillet I doubt if you will get detailed recipes. Yet you would be able to use it and figure out how even it heats, etc. This is just a cooking appliance. It is a tool. Use it. Get used to it. Adapt you current recipes. You'll do fine.
I only gave the multicooker 4 stars because I have not used all off the functions yet. What I have done so far has met my expectations. I can see where I may stop using some other appliances that are more limited in functionality than the multicooker since it can do what they can and more. That will save some space in my kitchen.

Cook healthy one-pot meals, rice and so much more with the George Foreman Smart Kitchen Multicooker. The large-capacity pan fits up to 30-cup and features our George Tough nonstick coating for oil-free cooking and easy cleaning. The Intelli-probe digital controls let you set cooking for a specific type of rice or steam at the touch of a button, or use the variable temperature settings for stews, sauces and more. You'll also enjoy a special one-touch sear setting that lets you sear meats for stew directly in the pan. The removable stainless steel steaming basket plus a tempered glass lid with adjustable steam vent lets you easily steam vegetables and fish as you cook rice. All this, plus an elegant design that looks great on counter or simply remove the probe for easy serving without a need for extra dishes.

Sanyo HPS-MC3 3-in-1 Nonstick Electric Multi-Cooker Review

I am cheap (Asian), and was not keen on plopping down $100 on this cooker. Totally worth it. I got it after I saw some little old ladies at 99 Ranch buying one!
Cooks hot pot like a CHAMP. I was using a single burner with a divided hot pot pot (lol) on top and I had to boil a separate pot the stove to keep up with demand (feeding 4 adults). No more! This thing is sooo convenient. Super easy to adjust the temperature and it heats up quickly.
Nice safety feature that it has a magnetic power cord, in case someone trips over it or you have kids. It stays on just fine.
Also works great as a steamer.
The finish is conducive to easy cleanup.
The grill part...well, I mean...it's essentially a one-sided George Foreman grill. Nothing too special there--but it is very easy to clean.
Buy it! You know if the old Chinese ladies at 99 Ranch were buying, it HAS to be good.
**Update**
Owned it now for almost a year. Still going strong, still highly recommended. It even saved me through a stove issue (2 weeks for the new part to arrive). There are a lot of things you can make with this cooker, I have to say.

Ideal for any busy kitchen, this three-in-one multi-function electric cooker works great for grilling, steaming, and slow cooking. The unit's generously sized 4-1/2-quart pot can be used to cook up a batch of chili, soup, or stew for the family, and its grill plate works great for making grilled-cheese sandwiches, pancakes, or perfectly shaped crepes. The non-stick titanium-coated cooking pot and grill plate ensure even heating, effortless food release, and quick cleanup. Even more, the multi-cooker comes with a handy steam tray for steaming vegetables, fish, and other healthy foods. The unit provides user-friendly controls and adjustable temperature settings from keep warm to 460 degrees F. Other highlights include a contemporary stainless-steel body, a glass lid for viewing the cooking process at a glance, cool-touch handles, and a quick-release magnetic plug for safety. The glass lid, steam tray, grill plate, and pot all clean up easily in the dishwasher, and the steam tray and grill plate nest together in the pot for compact storage. A multi-language instruction manual comes included. The 1350-watt multi-cooker measures 13 by 15-1/2 by 8-3/5 inches.
