It works great for cooking up a whole chicken to use in stuff. I'll sometimes cook up a bunch of chicken and then throw some hoisin sauce on it for keeping in the fridge for snacking. Cooking a pork butt for soups and meals works great, too if it's on the smaller side. I like when I don't have to heat up the house with the stove for hours. I have a cookbook by Jeffrey Eisner that has some great recipes.

I just always have bad luck when I add any kind of tomatoes, it's a known problem on some models 😒. The meal turned out just fine this go round, meaning my chicken thighs were cooked through so I didn't have to dirty a skillet as well.
