Works great ! Only one thing is the start stop button is hard to operate
Love it! Clean up is a breeze! It's beautiful and it doesn't heat up the kitchen like using the oven!
First of all- I waited to jump on the air fryer bandwagon, and I am so happy that I did. It’s means so much to me that they came out with 1- The Combo! and 2- safer materials!
I love the cool colors! I got rid of my 20 year old crock pot! Yeah! More counter space!
Not only do I love using the air fryer, my kids AND thus us a big one- my husband is now cooking as well!
Food comes out fabulous! Love my sweet potato fries too!
Best cooking appliance. I use it everyday. I even make simple things like scrambled eggs in it because it doesn’t stick to the pan. Steaks in the air fryer come out great and it doesn’t make a mess all over the stovetop because the grease is contained. I have been trying the recipes on the Magnifique website as well and they are tasty and healthy. Highly recommend!
This is a great cooker! It creates moisture and I love the ability to set the time! Definitely recommend! Great claypot cooker!
It’s great that it is non-toxic and dishwasher safe, but it takes longer to cook rice than my previous cooker and I wish there was a smaller option
I love my cooker! It’s beautiful as well as easy to use! I probably should have gotten the larger one. My favorite is being able to brown the food first!
I used it and my daughter loved it. So I gave my first multi cooker to her as her Ninja broke after 1 year. So I bought another one to replace it. My other daughter had her stovetop go out. So I let her borrow it… I decided just to let them keep it. Now today, I just ordered my third one and hopefully I can keep this one so I can use it on a regular basis.
Overall, this is a great product. I love cooking pasta, oatmeal, even French toast! I also love the slow cooker for feature. As it saves time on busy days. The browning feature is great for steak! I would not keep purchasing them if I didn’t like it.
Love this cooker! Some stuff sticks but other than that it’s so handy! And a beautiful color
I really love this product. It does but needs a little tweaking to be great. O
1. Top needs to be heat resistant. (It’s still fine but would be nice.)
2. Noodles get stuck in the middle on bottom. (But comes off easily when cleaning)
3.Braising time needs a little longer.
4. I would love to know timing of when to put the food in not just looking at it showing lines of it heating up.
Overall, quality of food is amazing and my family loves the food made. Can’t wait for your upgrades. Well done product.
The Magnifique multi cooker is so versatile, I love that I can sear and slow cook in the same pot! Also knowing that it is natural clay an non toxic is essential.

This cooker is fabulous.
I was opening the package and found everything
was meticulously packed. Unfortunately the beautiful
lid was firmly in it's protective casing. I pushed on the
handle down and was shocked when the lid came out
and I cracked it. I had to go to the store and get a replacement.
This was not the companies fault, just my ignorance.
Now let's get to cooking.
We started out with rice on day one. It was so easy!
You put the rice in the pot and turn the selection ****
to RICE. An animation becomes visible and when the animation
is gone you will soon here a beeping sound. It immediately
does into a "Keep Warm Mode."
There is a temperature and time option but not for rice. You're
going to get it right the first time.
Last night we did pasta. We put half a box into the pot
and turned the selector **** to PASTA. Once again, it's
in fool proof mode. No need to guess at temperature or
duration, the clay pot takes care of it.
It automatically switched to Keep Warm and it did.
I couldn't have been happier.
I've never used a cooker before but I know this
will become one of the most used cooking choices
in the kitchen.
It's big, it's heavy, it has multiple uses and assuming
i don't do something silly again, it will last forever.
Five stars. Quite a value!
I’m really happy with this air fryer. The glass pots are what sold me on it, I love being able to actually see my food cooking without worrying about coatings or anything non-toxic. It feels a lot cleaner and more comfortable to use compared to traditional air fryers.
It cooks really well too. Everything comes out crispy on the outside and cooked evenly on the inside, whether I’m air frying, baking, or reheating. The different pot sizes are convenient depending on what I’m making, and the setup is pretty straightforward.
Cleanup is also easy, which I really appreciate. The glass wipes down nicely and doesn’t hold onto smells or stains. Overall, this was a great purchase. It’s functional, easy to use, and gives me peace of mind while still making really good food.
This slow cooker is really great quality. Heats up nicely and evenly. Very safe to hse and the 4.5quart is perfect size for what I need. I love how it looks, very elegant. The controls are very easy to navigate. Love this overall. Highly recommended.
I have enjoyed this! It is super versatile! Really like the glass option as it's easy to clean. I found if you double the recipe you have to do double the time (for rice at least, it took twice as long since you can't put a timer on that and it counts down for you). It's worked great for slow cooking and I am excited to try it for the other items! I love the convenience of all in one- and it is perfect for when you have company over for holidays and need another way to cook things and keep things warm!
Though, FYI, DON'T put the crabpuffs in for more than about 3 minutes unless you want extra crispy, slightly blackened crabpuffs. I suspect this is good for other things besides reheating Chinese appetizers.
This came with a 2.5 and 4.5 quart bowl, as well as an air fryer tray that can fit in either one. Both glass bowls are dishwasher safe, though they use up A LOT of space in the dishwasher. There is also a silicon stand that you should put the bowl you're using into so that you don't burn your countertop. The glass bowls don't nest, but they do stack for storage.
There is also a plastic cover thing that I think you're supposed to put the heating unit on when you're done with it so you don't burn your counter, but it warped from the heat, so I think that was a bad idea. Maybe I should read the instructions again.
There are also a couple of silicon glove things so you can pick up the glass container when it's hot. FYI - you can't cook using both glass bowls at the same time. I mean, you can try, but it's not really going to work well.
This is very basic and mostly idiot-proof. Trust me - read the instructions. That will help a little with the idiot-proofing.
I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer/oven that I love. This little thing is not going to replace that. But it really is good for reheating things (like crab puffs) and cooking frozen burritos and stuff. If you're a college student in a dorm, this would come in handy if you don't have access to a real oven or air fryer.
Just make sure you're careful when putting the heating unit on ANYTHING while it's still hot because it will definitely melt the cover.
This is for a big family to elevate your kitchen with this 8-in-1 clay multi-cooker. Its non-toxic, oven-safe pot delivers healthy, versatile meals from slow-cooked stews to steamed rice, all in a stylish olive finish.
I'm really pleased with this kitchen gadget. My old oval crock pot's glass lid shattered randomly one day after 15 years of service, so seeing a non-glass lid on this was a relief, especially since it's a regular round pot, it's easy to replace if something happens. I also like that the pot is reusable, not just built into the heating element, which when you have limited kitchen space, feels less bulky and more integrated into my regular kitchen.
I have used the slow cook and rice settings so far, and the results have been great. I even had to turn off the cooker while I was in the middle of rice cooking to bring my son to swim lessons, and I came back and the rice was actually done and cooked perfectly, even with just the leftover steak inside. I've never had a rice cooker (didn't want extra kitchen gadgets and never bothered with my slow cooker before) so this was a pleasant surprise for me.
I have the greenish color and it's a nice addition to my kitchen when it's out. Overall, I'm very pleased.
This 4.5-quart clay pot multi-cooker has quickly become a standout appliance in the kitchen due to its impressive 8-in-1 functionality. It is incredibly versatile and has handled a variety of different meals with ease. It was first put to the test for cooking pasta, and it performed excellently, heating evenly and delivering perfect results. More recently, it was used to prepare a chicken dish, and it worked flawlessly once again, ensuring the meat was cooked thoroughly while remaining tender.
The standout feature is the removable clay pot itself. Beyond being a non-toxic and nonstick alternative to traditional slow cookers, the fact that it is oven-safe up to 500°F adds a massive amount of convenience for recipes that require a quick sear or finishing in the oven. From steaming and slow cooking to more specialized tasks like proofing, this unit has proven to be a reliable, high-performing tool. It is a great size for everyday meals and offers a much wider range of uses than a standard slow cooker.
As other reviews have said, this is a nice quality slow cooker that does a lot more than just slow cook. The glass top is excellent for seeing what is happening inside. The fact that the entire glass pot can go in the oven is fantastic (but note that the lid supposedly cannot.) I ran it through multiple options to see how they worked.
1. Slow cook: as expected, heat seems to be consistent and made a great stew when left on with normal expectation of cook time. It shifts to keep warm for you once the timer is done. It has both low and high options.
2. Proof: I proofed pizza dough, and it was impressive how well it worked. I selected 90 F (there is a range) and you can set a timer. It is very nice to see inside while your dough is proofing so you can gauge the rise without opening anything.
3. Pasta: I followed the (very sparse) instructions in the book which did not match what it says in practice. I did put in a 16 oz box of pasta and the suggested 3.5 cups of water and selected pasta. I added a dash of olive oil to avoid sticking. It began heating up and eventually beeped at me, almost like "Hey I'm ready!" Then, I was able to monitor the cook time - the book just says to put in the pasta and water and have it go and it will tell you when done. That didn't make sense to be due to varying cook times for varying pasta types. The unit itself makes more sense with how it beeps when "boiling" and then I started my own external timer to cook the pasta as desired. I stirred it a few times during this process. I ended up not having to drain it, and I even added some spaghetti sauce and cheese and put it in the oven without the lid and made a pasta bake! But the book instructions are lacking seriously on pasta.
4. Rice: I followed the again sketchy instruction book which has no real maximum quantity, just a ratio to follow of rice to water. There's also no info on if you should rinse it first or not. I ran the ratio suggested and was not happy to find that the rice boiled up so much and then leaked out of the edge of the lid and got into the heat element below. This was with using only about 1 2/3 cups of rice which is not that much. I had pre-rinsed it too. It also stuck all over the bottom of the pot and was not easy to clean. It took about 40 minutes to cook the rice. It has no count up/down timer either, so you have NO IDEA when it is going to be done. It does beep when done. I was unimpressed with this method of rice cooking due to the lack of information on when it will be done and the stuck on rice. But my family liked how fluffy it was with this cooking method.
Steam: I steamed some pre-made frozen dumplings set on parchment paper in the included rack. This was simple to do as it just heats up the water while whatever you put on the rack steams. Just know you won't know when it is going to boil. You likely have to monitor your own timing of how long your item is going to steam.
Braise & Oatmeal: Not tested. Oatmeal has literally no instructions/guidance in the included booklet.
Keep Warm: Worked fine to keep the stew I made warm while we finished up the rest of dinner preparations.
So overall, I like the size. I like the removable glass pot. The item is attractive and does many different functions. But the lack of descriptions in the booklet make me have to remove one star. I was basically writing my own notes in the booklet as I tested the various cook modes.
I absolutely love this multi-cooker! The clay pot is a standout feature; it’s made of safe, non-toxic material and I really appreciate that I can also use it in the oven and on the stove, which adds so much versatility.
Another thing I really like is that I can open the lid while cooking on any preset, which makes it very convenient to check on meals without interrupting the process. The heat distribution is even, and everything I’ve made so far has turned out delicious.
I’ve already used the slow cooker function and cooked rice, and both came out really well; flavorful, tender, and perfectly done. I haven’t tried the oatmeal option yet, but based on my experience so far, I’m sure it will perform just as well.
It’s also very convenient to cook, serve, clean, and store in the same pot, which saves time and reduces dishes. This has made my routine so much easier, especially coming home from work to a meal that’s already ready.
While it is a bit more expensive compared to other options, the quality and build are clearly there. It feels well made and designed to last. And it looks nice on my counter; it is not as big as my previous slow cooker.
Overall, this is a great multifunction slow cooker that makes everyday cooking simple, convenient, and enjoyable. I definitely recommend it!
First of all, this thing is a work beast, the clay pot is why. It holds heat well and keeps moisture in, so food comes out tender and a bit more developed in flavor compared to other typical metal inserts.
At 4.5 qt capacity it’s good for a few servings without taking over your counter.
The multi-cooker side is useful, but realistically you’ll gravitate toward a few modes like slow cook, rice, maybe steam. It’s simplifies your setup without replacing every appliance, and yet it is so nice to have to set and forget, go to work and come home to a fully cooked meal. This thing is now responsible for me bagging roast, chicken and other stew packets in the freezer to just get out, dump in, turn on, and forget about it until you’re ready to it later in the day.
Keep in mind that the clay pot is heavier and needs a bit more care than standard pots
Heats differently, give it time, don’t rush it
Use, clean and store. If you’ll leave it out buy itself it can break. It is the perfect size and easy to control and the settings are very tactile too.
The oven-safe aspect is actually neat. My old one, a gift from Grandma didn’t do the same. With this you can move your cooking from cooker to oven when needed.
Yeah, this thing did a modern take on my traditional clay cooking, and I like it!
