The Cuisinart Cook Central 3-in-1 Multicooker
The MSC-600 Cuisinart Multicooker Create one-pot meals your family will love with the Cuisinart Cook Central 3-in-1 Multicooker. Three fully programmable cooking functions let you sauté vegetables, brown meats and slow cook your favorite comfort foods right in the unit. Skip the stovetop with combination cooking — brown your ingredients in the unit and then simply switch to the slow cook function. Use the Cook Central to prep any aspect of your favorite dish. Select the steam function to prepare stuffed artichokes to start a gourmet meal or to create a healthful vegetable medley side dish. The Cook Central can even do dessert. With numerous recipes to choose from in the included booklet, the opportunities are endless!
The Cook Central features Cuisinart’s brushed stainless steel housing and a 6-quart nonstick cooking pot that lets you brown or sauté directly in the unit. Once your meal is ready, the unit will automatically shift to Keep Warm mode so your meal is ready when you are. Serving your dish is easy — just lift the pot out and take it to the table. Clean-up is a breeze with the Cook Central as the pot, steaming rack and glass lid are dishwasher-safe.
Multi-Functional
The first step to creating your meal with the Cook Central is selecting the cooking function.
Slow Cook
Slow cooking is perfect for foods that require long, slow simmering, such as soups, stocks, stews, and dried beans. This function is also ideal when cooking tougher and less expensive cuts of meat like shoulder and pot roast. The Slow Cook function has three temperature settings — High, Low, and Simmer. For recipes that need to cook longer, use the Simmer and Low settings. When starting a dish later in the day, select the High setting. A 24-hour timer and automatic Keep Warm mode ensure your food is ready to eat when you are. Brown or sauté with temperatures up to 400 degrees F. Use the extra-large steaming rack to steam vegetables. Slow cook on your schedule with programmable settings.
Steam
Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking. No butter or oil is required and fewer nutrients are lost in the steaming process. To steam anything from asparagus to shrimp, insert the included steaming rack and no more than 2 quarts of water or other liquid in the cooking pot and cover with the lid. Once steaming is complete, carefully remove food from the pot with a spoon, fork or tongs and enjoy.
Brown/Sauté
Use the Brown/Sauté function as you would a skillet or sauté pan on the stovetop for a variety of recipes. Prepare a quickly sautéed skillet dish or brown food right in the pot as the first step of your family’s favorite slow cooker recipe. You can use this function to reheat foods as well. Just use Brown/Sauté at 350 degrees F and stir until all ingredients are warmed through.
Once you have chosen the cooking function that best fits your recipe, simply set the desired time and temperature, and then press Start.

This slow cooker does everything in one pot! It’s the best!
This slow cooker does everything in one pot, from steaming to sautéing, to slow cooking! ♥️🇨🇦

It’s more expensive than most but well worth it
Bought as a gift. She loves it. Well made and easy clean up.
Amazon Customer –
Great product
Wonderful product. Do everything in one pot, sauté, brown, steam, slow cook. Had another product. No comparison.What is bothersome is the price point to order from the US.

Great multipurpose cooker
I’ve only used the Slow Cooker function so far, but it does a great job. It has a good sized capacity for a family of four. It appears to be sturdy and well made so far.
Amazon Customer –
Everything as expected
Cooking in bulk has become so much easier. I like its brown/saute option that helps with making sauces and such, decreasing the amount of pots and pans I end up using.
Amazon Customer –
Good purchase
All the options were the decision maker to purchase this slow cooker. The insert is incredibly non-stick, the sauté option works very well and the timer feature is also a plus. However, I have a large family and I wish it larger. I cannot make the amount of soup or stew I would usually make. This is a disappointment.

Great product
Works well as a steamer, slow cooker with option of searing right before .. very savoury meals with no salt added only dried herbs and topping with fresh herbs.

guys, I feel cheated. I paid 2x the market rate plus got a US appliance with converter?? I was under the impression that I am buying slow cooker for UK market. It’s a joke.

Absolutely love my new Cuisinart slow cooker. I’ve made several things in it, including pot roast, chili and other recipes that need to have browning first. It does it so well, no more getting the frying pan out and making a big mess on the stove you can do it all in this pot. The pot itself is so light, easy to handle and clean. It’s a little bit pricier than just a regular slow cooker, but it is so well worth it.

I purchased this back in October to replace an old, heavy ceramic Rival crockpot, which was about 30 years old, but still working believe it or not. LOL. This Cuisinart crockpot has so many more features, not to mention that the pot itself is so much lighter than the old ceramic one. I like the fact that you can brown in it first and then just switch to slow cook or whatever mode right from brown mode. As well as the other functions that it has such as steam and sauté. I would definitely recommend this crockpot!

EDITED – SEE COMMENTS AT BOTTOM [Now edited again – MORE problems]************************************************No more ceramic crocks to break or crack! And unlike some “name brands” with ceramic crocks, you won’t have to fill this with a lot of water to cook anything because there’s no risk of cracking the insert. Browning and steaming appear to work fine, though we’re using it primarily for slow cooking. But be aware that another “name brand” slow cooker with ceramic insert requires the crock to be placed on the stove top for browning, and then put into the cooker for the slow cooking. This does it all, within itself.Additionally, it is very easy to clean, especially with the significantly lower weight of the insert, compared to a ceramic insert, making those much easier to break (if you don’t crack it by failing to follow instructions and drown your slow cook project in water). No such issues with this product!. The controls are also very easy to both read and operate.Worth the higher price? Absolutely! Crack a ceramic crock (or two) and you’ll have spent the same amount of money, and still have less convenience all around. With a three year warranty, it will be hard to go wrong with this device.************************************************************************EDITED 21 November 2015We have downgraded this from an original 5-star rating (not easy to get from us), to only a 2-star rating. There has never been any utensil used in this cooker except nylon/plastic utensils specifically designed for non-stick coatings. Yet there is bare metal already showing through the bottom of the insert, with scratches also showing as if metal utensils had been scraped along the bottom. The only person to use this has been my wife, so there is no possibility that someone else damaged it. We will be contacting the company about a replacement or return. We do not want non-stick coating in our foods. At the price we paid for this (willingly at the time, in order to get away from a CrockPot product) we expected FAR better quality. Very disappointed, and now the Cuisinart name means nothing more than any store-brand name to us.UPDATE: 23 December 2015 – it’s now been a months since the insert was returned to Cuisinart, and they tell me it is still on backorder. At more than $150 for a “quality” slow cooker, I would expect FAR better than that. We couldn’t use it for Thanksgiving, now we can’t even use it for Christmas with guests coming to stay with us. After verifying that the non-stick insert is still on backorder with no projected date for replacements, the company very admirably offered to send a completely new unit due to the length of time, which I think is a very decent response. However, there are clearly internal problems that make this a product I simply cannot recommend. I have downgraded it to a 1-star rating because under no circumstances would I recommend that a friend buy this product anywhere near the price charged, based on poor quality and the company’s inability to properly service problems. I even have to spend money to return the cut power cord to prove I can no longer use the old unit (that doesn’t have a cooking insert anyway).*******************************************EDITED 22 April 2016Amazing! The replacement unit already has more metal showing in the bottom of the non-stick inner pot than the original did. We have never used any metal objects in these inner pots, either for cooking or cleaning – always plastic, compatible with non-stick coatings. My wife noticed and pointed out to me that the bottom of the replacement inner pot is NOT smooth, but has small raised spots in it, and some of those appear to be where the coating is coming off the metal. Regardless of how it’s coming off, however, it’s due to some design or coating application flaw, not anything we’re doing. The inner pots (original and replacement) have ALWAYS been washed by hand, using a plastic scouring pad suitable for use in a non-stick product (and used with all our other non-stick items without any problem). The cooking utensils are all plastic/nylon type utensils, and at no time as a metal spoon, fork, knife, spatula, etc., been used in the original cooker or this replacement cooker.Our bottom line is that we will contact Cuisinart on Monday and strongly request a complete refund, since this is still under warranty, but beyond the Amazon refund period. Regardless of Cuisinart’s response, it is the last purchase we ever plan to make from that brand or any of the other brands owned by the parent company. We bought what we thought was a premium product at a premium price after multiple bad experiences with CrockPot in recent years. We truly thought the Cuisinart would resolve the issue’s we’ve had with CrockPot products. The Cuisinart is no premium product, clearly.*******************************************EDITED 16 May 2016The good news is that we received a check for a full refund, plus the return shipping that we previously paid to Conair (Cuisinart owned by them). However, we had no luck with telephone customer service on the first call, but called back and at least got someone to give us the name and address of a senior customer service person in the NJ corporate office. A letter detailing the history was sent, with the statement that we wanted a full refund, or that we would never again purchase a Conair product (which includes Conair, Cuisinart, Waring, and Interplak toothbrush products). Today we received a check without even a note that apologized for the problems or encouraged us to give their companies another try. Given the large number of 1-star ratings based on bad non-stick coating, and the fact that this extends over multiple manufacturing batches of the product, along with the horrible customer service, we chose both options presented to Conair in the letter – depositing the refund check, and deciding we no longer deal with Conair Corporation and all of its subsidiaries. If they can’t even include any correspondence in such a negative situation, it is clear that they have no concern for customer customers and their experience – it’s only about selling products and avoiding refunds as long as they can. We were on our third insert at the time we sent the letter asking for the full refund – well under a year from initial purchase – all for the same problem (non-stick coating flaking off, exposing bare metal to the food).
