Cooking Types of Cuisinart MSC600: Rating 9 of 10

Cuisinart MSC600 slow cooker receives for the first factor a very positive score of 9 out of 10. The types of cooking that this electric pot can offer are many so that the same company defines a ” multicooker. ”

The Cuisinart MSC600 allows both slow cooking with preset temperature levels and customized cooking time and temperature adjustment: this versatility makes this appliance particularly suitable for making so many different recipes.

We also note that this slow cooker also allows steam cooking and another cooking at higher temperatures, for example, to garnish and skip dishes.

Considering the ability to cook at high temperatures and the great internal capacity of this slow cooker, you should not be surprised that this model has a much higher power output than 1240 watts. In fact, we recall that a slow cooker usually only works at low temperatures and has a meager power output of about 300 W.

Functions: Rating 9 of 10

Also, the function factor in this slow cooker model was evaluated by us positively. As we have pointed out in the previous paragraph, this slow cooker’s cooking possibilities are many. These are possible thanks to specific functions that can be adjusted through various buttons, simple and intuitive.

First of all, we notice the Cuisinart MSC600 start/stop switch on and off. Then there are three general buttons for slow cooking, sauté cooking, and steam cooking. Do not overlook the hot-keeping function, which can activate for up to 8 hours.

Surely the dual display is centered: it allows you to control the timer and the temperature and display the manual function setting. Finally, the simple buttons + and – allow you to set the timer and the temperature precisely to customize the cooking modes according to the particular recipe you want to follow.

Structure: Rating 8.5 of 10

The Cuisinart MSC600 structure of this slow cooker also deserves a positive vote, assuming the premise of a pot of electric pot capable and suitable for preparing dishes for up to 8/10 people.

Given the inner container’s capacity of 5.7 liters, this model is bulky (36.8 x 28.5 x 20.8 cm) but well structured in shape and compactness. Nevertheless, such a structure will have an important weight, which will reach 5.4 kg in this case.

This model will help those who need to cook plenty of portions and for so many people. Instead, if you are a 3-4 people family, we recommend choosing a smaller model.

Finally, we note this model’s constituent materials: the external structure is made of stainless steel with gaskets and a heat-insulating plastic handle. The lid is made of transparent glass, and the container is made of ceramic. These are the best materials you can find in an electric pot.

Practical use: Rating 8 of 10

The vote reached for this fourth factor is also positive in this case, and we explain why. In terms of practicality, this model can meet the expectations of the most demanding buyers. Given the considerable footprint of the ceramic interior basket, it will take up a lot of space in both the washbasin dishwasher.

Surely the presence of the dual-display stands out on the central and front of this appliance. With it, you can see the timings and the cooking temperatures.

The Cuisinart MSC600 preset function buttons are very intuitive and can help if you want to set the cooking manually.

As we have already pointed out in the section dedicated to the structure, thermal insulation is guaranteed by the thermal knobs on this model and a base with plastic and non-slip feet. We also note that the inner basket also has cool touches, which are always cool.

Accessories and Spare Parts: Rating 8 of 10

As far as accessories and spare parts are concerned, our assessment is positive with the due details.

In the box Cuisinart MSC600, you will not find special accessories such as scoops and paper recipes. Instead, you will find only a grill for steam cooking.

However, it is important to note that one can purchase spare parts separately without regaining the central heating structure again in the glass cover and ceramic breakage. About the recipe, the manufacturer decided to give this aspect to the purchaser’s discretion.
