Crock Pot Express Multi-Cooker CPE200

I have had mine for over a year and I love it. Before, I was scared of pressure cookers but this multipurpose tool fixed that. We use our crockpot at least once a week, sometimes more. Our go to meals in the cooker (either pressure or slow) are pulled pork, curries, lamb shanks, casseroles, whole blade, chicken soup and beef brisket.
The searing/browning setting is very helpful in keeping all the yummy caramelisation flavours in the pot, making the food much more tasty than a traditional slow cooker. Also, it doesn't seem to overcook. Oh, and it cooks rice even better than my rice cooker!

Cooking made easy. Just throw all the ingredients in and walk away. Beautiful flavours and tender meat. All done in 1 pot and nothing sticks or burns to the bottom. Is the most used cooking item in my kitchen.
The only issues Ive had is that the yoghurt function works well but the yoghurt is sour tasting due to the retained smell I think particularly in the silicon gasket. Know others who make yoghurt all the time and isn't sour so will have to trouble shoot.
The pressure valve was initially sticky and the pot not pressurising unless we pushed the lid down. That has now resolved on its own with use. Would highly recommend.

I've got the XL and absolutely love it. I use it all the time, I've cooked desserts in it, main meals, and also used the slow cooker in it as well. My partner also loves it as he gets to eat a variety of food!

I bought this Cooker because of the reviews and I wanted a smaller Slow Cooker and Pressure Cooker. I cooked Roast Porks for a party in the slow cooker and they were really tasty, as the pork was to go into rolls I was not worried about Crackling. I was really surprised at how quietly it pressure cooks. It doesn’t compete with the tv. Very happy with this Cooker.

I was initially looking for a slow cooker like Mum used to have (the original Crock-Pot). The Express Multi has quickly earned a place as a weekly kitchen tool. It is easy to use, and the recipes in the book have all worked out so far. I was afraid of pressure cooking, but this machine has made it safe and really easy. The seal is challenging to take out to wash (and you really need to wash it) but the rest is super easy. It does retain the odour of food cooked. The smell is prominent in the seal, so I will try vinegar and bi-carb. The food in pressure mode have been tasty and keeps it's colour. My only surprise we how long it takes to 'heat up' before clicking into the chosen mode. Bring on Winter!

I never knew cooking curries would be so quick as I would spend at least 2-3 hours just for cooking traditional curry for me and my husband. I got this cooker as a present and it is absolutely life changing it cooks lentils, curries, rice in just 15-30 minutes and I can even make my own yogurt. The cherry on the cake for me is the dessert feature as we are only two people and I can just easily put two ramekins of chocolate pudding in my cooker and It would just cook my dessert to perfection in no time.

1. I've made beef brisket, seafood paella, steamed potatoes and yogurt so far.
2. The cookers does retain smells of beef brisket after cooking but I steamed some herbs from my garden to get rid of the smell.
3. I'm very satisfied with the product's features especially it's very quiet during cooking and it doesn't give too much heat to the kitchen
4. I'm very happy with the food produced by this cooker. It take a while for trial and error but the recipe book gives a good direction for users to adjust things around. The speed to make potatoes soft is just exceptional.

The multicooker itself is great and very functional, allows quick and easy cooking with minimal supervision. My gripe is with the quality of the inner pot, which has scratched terribly within months. The non-stick seems to scratch so easily and I'm concerned about the safety of continuing to use it. The company doesn't sell individual parts, so they only option would be to replace the whole thing.

I was reluctant to buy any pressure cooker out of fear, as I'm sure others have felt the same.

This crock pot has been a God send. I'm so glad I went with my gut and faught my fear. This is hands down the best kitchen appliance I've ever braught.

I've cooked so many things in this machine and everything has come out fantastic, I do adjust recipes accordingly and to suit my small fussy family. If I had the bench space I would buy another one. I absolutely love this!

Safety concern. I bought the CrockPot. I still not use it because I read the user menu, it is sealed by silicon ring while cooking. I concern what will silicon release under high temperature and pressure. For the short period time, you may not able feel bad but what about many years ?

Silicon seal ring VS rubber seal ring. Which one is more safe ?

I chose the Crock - Pot because of the positive experiences with the brand and so far have not been disappointed. I have made numerous slow cooked meals with it, where I could leave the ingredients to bubble away and have so far been lucky that even my first born loves what it makes. I will say the one surprise for me was the pressure cooker feature. Sure enough the one day I wasn't as organised as I should be I only had lamb shanks out for dinner and didn't realise I had not started cooking them until it was too late. I decided the try the pressure cooker feature. Took about 60 mins and the shanks were as tender as if I had slow cooked them a few hours.

Love that this is more than just a slow cooker - it still slow cooks delicious meals which are a winter fave at our house but it also steams, saute's and pressure cooks. To have one appliance that does all of this is great. We use it for so many different meal preps and recipes. Warm potato salad cooked in 10 mins is amazing. We are even going to attempt to make our own yogurt in it. Our creative cooking adventures are only just beginning. It's easy to use as well.

Even though I find the searing function a bit long, the other functions are great. I can create different recipes easily. I really like that there are so many good recipes and I can also add whatever ingredients I prefer. I would highly recommend this product to everyone. It easy to clean.

So simple to use, great for busy families with quick pressure cook and also searing and slow cook functions.
Cooks meat, vegetables and desserts all perfectly.
Easy to clean, just put in the dishwasher :-)
Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a family sized machine that is simple to use and looks great on the bench

Very easy to use as I have never used a pressure cooker before. However this is also a slow cooker, rice cooker and steamer.
Recipes from the colourful book are quick and easy to make. I have made the vegetable tagine and it was very tasty and easy to clean.

This is so easy to use and I’ve cooked a few things and all come out tasty. Great thing also u can wash in the dishwasher so makes it easy for busy families

Using the Crock Pot Express is very simple, yet very rewarding as it is able to help me with cooking so many different meals, while being all-in-one. From pulled pork to risotto, this cooker really shaves down my meal prep time drastically, and makes dinner a very fulfilling yet easy task. The instructions are very simple to follow, and after a few times using it I felt very acquainted with the express cooker. The best part is that it is also very easy to clean, as it was very intuitive.

I am very impressed with the Crock Pot Express Cooker, and would recommend it for anyone looking for a good and easy to use all-in-one cooker, that will both pressure cook and slow cook to your hearts desire!
