I finally bought one. all my friends have one and like it.
Can you sous vide (ish) in this thing?
It does have slow cooker and yogurt making settings… but I am not sure it can hold the precise temps (at the variety of numbers) you’d want.
there are only 3 low temp settings, and 3 yogurt
•Normal mode: 90~96°C/194~205°F (Medium in a common slow cooker)
•More mode: 93~99°C/199~210°F (High in a common slow cooker)
•Less mode: 88-94°C/190~201°F (Low in a common slow cooker
Yogurt: up to 99 hours 30 minutes at 36 ~ 43°C (96.8 ~ 109.4°F);
Jiu Niang (fermented glutinous rice): 30 ~ 34°C (86 ~ 93.2°F);
Pasteurizing milk: 71~83°C (160~180°F).

Best purchase I’ve made in 2016 for the kitchen. My wife yelled at me when I bought it on amazon prime day now she uses it multiple times a week.
To make what?
I use ours often for stews/braises and for cooking whole grains.
beans
stock
brown rice
steel cut oats
ribs
pulled pork
Anything that usually takes a long time and won’t mind high temps (so all the turkey we sous vided for Thanksgiving would be a no)
