While using a dutch oven on a stovetop, maintaining the proper temperature could take some getting used to.

But if you own this appliance this will be much easier.

Because the Instant Precision 6-quart Dutch Oven combines a classic dutch oven with its electric base technology. Where you can precisely maintain the temperature and time.

Just by turning the dial, you can change from the lowest to the highest temp setting.

What Can You Make with Instant Precision Dutch Oven?

This mighty appliance can braise, slow cook, sear, or sauté every food ingredient nicely. On top of that, you can use it as a cooking pan and warmer.

But this appliance is especially great for smart slow cooking.

If you own this appliance you won’t ever need your slow cooker. It can be set from a minimum of 3 hours up to 12. And when it’s done, it automatically enters the Keep Warm mode for up to 3 more hours.

Next, you can make the best soups and stews in this dutch oven. The heavy weight of the pot lets you simmer the stew and soup to cook it slowly. Plus, the heavy lid ensures that none of the moisture escapes the pot. As a result, you end up with a deeply flavored soup or stew.

Then, you can also bake homemade bread in it. As the cooking pot is made with cast iron, it retains more heat than the conventional baking trays. So, you end up with perfectly baked goods.

However, the Instant Pot technology doesn’t offer a bake function. After proofing the dough you need to use the oven to bake it.

Moreover, this tool is also perfect for steaming veggies. You can use a steamer basket to hold the veggies above the main recipe and steam perfectly without turning it soggy.

Even after saying all these examples, we have to say this is just the tip of the ice burg. This appliance will help you make lots of delicious meals without breaking a sweat.

What are the Accessories of Instant Precision Dutch Oven?

Along with an electric base and a cast iron dutch oven, this appliance also comes with two other included accessories.

A silicon pad and one set of silicone handle covers for serving that allows you to go straight from cooking to serving on the table.

How to Clean Instant Precision 6-quart Dutch Oven Properly?

The dutch oven cooking pot and the lid are dishwasher safe so there is no hassle for cleaning.

However, if you want you can easily clean it manually. As this dutch oven is enameled, manual cleaning is also super easy.

Enamel works like a nonstick, so avoid using an abrasive sponge. Just soak the cooking pot and the lid with warm water and a bit of soap or baking soda overnight. And in the morning simply clean it with a soft soapy sponge. Give it a good rinse under running water and you are done.

For the main unit, simply wipe clean it with a damp cloth and wipe it again with a dry dishtowel to bring back a glossy look.

Is Instant Precision 6-quart Dutch Oven Worth Buying?

No doubt Instant Precision 6-quart Dutch Oven is a top-of-the-line appliance. Indeed, you get the most precise control over your dutch oven instead of using a dutch oven on the stovetop.

However, it does come with a hefty price tag. So if you already own a quality dutch oven and an induction cooktop don’t bother to spend this much.

On the other hand, if you love slow-cooked meals and want perfection while you slow cook, Instant Precision 6-quart Dutch Oven can be your best bet.

Besides, it’s a cool kitchen gadget to leave on the countertop. So if you’re aiming for that, it’s definitely worth a shot.
