Promising four different usages--rice cooker, slow cooker, tofu maker, and steamer, this techie-looking cooker caused us some skepticism as to whether it could perform all functions well. Testing proved it can. High, low, and keep-warm functions operate this slow cooker for as long as 12 hours. Touchpad controls are eash to set, and the LCD timer, easy to read.

As a slow cooker, this one's better reserved for small families. It has a maximum capacity of just 10 cups (2-1/2 quarts), so you'll need to use or adapt slow-cooker recipes that yield no more than 8 cups      (2 quarts) mixture total. Included are removable dishwasher-safe inner pots and lids for rice and slow-cooking, plus all the accessories you need for steaming foods or for making your own tofu. Considering you'd have to pay considerably more to buy four separate appliances, this is a good buy at $169.99. Available in white with stainless trim only.
