ARE YOU ABLE TO BROWN THE MEAT?

Yes. I prefer to brown it in a pan first just because it is a bit awkward to reach in the pot. I can brown more at a time in a skillet. I also like to run the fan/vent over the stove when browning.

Stoneware, that is set in an aluminum outerware which keeps everything hot for a long time. I usually brown my meat, first then add everything to the pot-good luck! You will love!

yes you can brown meats in your pan first. Just make sure that you oil it well first and keep it on medium heat not high. It holds heat well and gets hot quickly. After I have cleaned my pan I always oil it well before storing it. Just take some oil on a paper towel and coat bottom and sides lightly. Hope this helps

There are different options that you can use with the pressure cooker. There is a button to brown whatever you are cooking. This pressure cooker is the best that I have ever used.

Absolutely not!!!..You need a pressure canner for meat. Don't even attempt it.

I don't think that would be a good idea. If you want to brown meat, get a good sear in a sauté pan on very high heat.

No, because it is a meat product. To properly can any meat product it must be processed in a pressure canner. not a steamer or boiling water bath

I don't think so. You first brown/sear meat in a pan on stove then add to crockpot. Crockin girls. Com

Paula, I watched a cooking show last year. The cook said you do not need to brown roasts before putting in the slow cooker. You are cooking out some of the juices that would add to the flavor. I buy a leaner cut of meat so there is not to much fat. The roasts come out brown anyway and really tender. I do cook ground beef or sausage before putting in the cooker.

I always brown my meat(pot roast) on the stove with some oil. If you want gravy, immerse the meat first with plenty of flour, salt and pepper. Place it on the stove to brown without the lid, then I add water and then cover, temp to medium-low. When the lid is on the meat steams so uncovered causes the meat to brown. TOO much info? Only practice and trial and error worked for me.

No, the instruction manual says, "Meats can be precooked, browned or grilled to get rid of as much fat as possible." Some of Emeril's recipes that come with the slow cooker calls for you to brown/sear meat in a skillet before putting in the slow cooker. Also things like sauteing onions and garlic before hand.

Yes. I use it to brown meat even when I'm not pressure cooking. I like it because it doesn't spatter all over.

Hi, you can cook brown rice, but you have to make sure you soak the brown rice for a couple of hours first.

I usually brown my roasts, swiss steak, chicken, or other meats on the top of the stove with a small amount of oil. Then I add a quarter cup of water or broth and cover the roaster a place it in the oven until meat is done.

Yes~! Except for the lid, of course, it is just like a large, heavy pot. It really makes a difference to brown meats in a bit of oil along with whatever flavorings you wish to use to seal in the flavor. It is truly amazing how incredibly flavorful pressure cooked food is~!!!
