Pampered Chef Quick Cooker Review + My Favorite Recipes for it!

If you’re looking into getting the Pampered Chef Quick Cooker, you are in the right place!

I’m here to give you all the information you need so you can make the right choice for yourself, with my personal Pampered Chef Quick Cooker Review. It always helps with anything you are about to buy when you can relate to someone else using a product rather than knowing nothing about it before you buy.

As you can tell I personally have the Quick Cooker and I LOVE it!


7 Reasons to love the Quick Cooker

  • #1 Cooks up to 70 percent faster than traditional methods like the oven or stovetop
  • #2 It has sixteen preprogrammed settings that take the guesswork out of making family favorites
  • #3 It cooks meat directly from the freezer, so no thawing or planning required on those busy nights
  • #4 Pressure-cooked food retains more nutrient compared to other cooking methods
  • #5 There is a specifically designed steam release button that keeps your hands away from the steam
  • #6 It stays cool on the body and is safe to the touch while cooking
  • #7 The handles are at the base so you don’t have to worry about the lid detaching while you move it

Those are just a few things to love about the Quick Cooker.

Easily Get Started as Soon as You Open the Box

I love that all of the small appliances from Pampered Chef come with a quick start guide where you can find easy tips, recipes, use & care and more. To this day I still use the quick start guide to find recipes and see all the different things I can use the Quick Cooker for.

Quickly navigate through the guide to get easy to read directions, recipes, and follow times to cook diffent foods.

  • Rice’s
  • Beans
  • Legumes
  • grains
  • Veggies
  • Beef
  • Pork
  • Poultry

I know that it can be intimating when you get a new piece of equipment for the kitchen because you don’t want to mess up a whole meal or you just don’t know where to start. With this guide you will be more that ready to start using the Quick Cooker as as soon as it arrives at your door step.

It also come with some AMAZING recipes too! I use them all the time, some of them are my favorites!

Key Features on the Quick Cooker

There is an easy to read LED display that combines a dial and push-button control which gives you complete control over your cooking, along with the quick pre-sets you can just select and go. Take the guess work out of some of your favorite meals.

You can also select one of seven different pressure levels rather than just having High or Low Pressure options. (The user manual includes a little information about the different levels, but as far as I can tell, you’d need to experiment with it to figure out what level works for you.)

This Quick Cooker has a 6qt stainless steel inner pot large enough for family meals of all kinds!

It comes with a wire rack so you can add accessories in the pot as well, or you can cook two things at once if you don’t want them together in the same pot. It’s easier to steam big veggies on the rack than laying them in the inner pot.

I like to set some pre frozen stuffed peppers on the wire rack and cook them up in like 10 min. I make ahead stuffed peppers and keep them in the freezer until we’re ready to cook them!

Add on to the Fun

There are also some awesome accessories you can add to the Quick Cooker too!

Want to cook a side dish with your meat at the same time? You an use the Ceramic Pot. This pot lets you cook veggies, potatoes, or grains while your meat is cooking in the bottom. Because the pot is also oven-safe, you can use it to proof bread in the the Quick Cooker and then bake it in the oven!

How about a yummy cheesecake? The Quick Cooker Springform Pan is ideal for cheesecakes and thick, single-layer cakes. You can even use it in a conventional or convection oven. My husband loves cheesecake so this was a must have accessories for me!

How about a nice quick and easy bunt cake? The Quick Cooker Fluted Cake Pan can make fluffy, delicious cakes without ever turning on your oven. No more heating up the kitchen for a quick cake!

There is also the Steamer Basket. Use this to steam vegetables, homemade or frozen dumplings, or even make tamales in a fraction of the time. It comes with two baskets which nest together, so you can cook different foods at the same time.

One of the best parts about all of these accessories is that they are all dishwasher safe! Easy clean up and easy creations all in your Quick Cooker. It’s very versatile I promise.

You can even dive right in and get the QUICK COOKER STARTER SET. It comes with the Glass Lid, the Ceramic Pot and Mini Oven Mitts! This is a great bundle deal!

I love that I don’t have to use multiple pans on the oven all the time now. I can just throw it in the Quick Cooker and BOOM, dinner is done without me having to stand over the oven and watch the food while trying to entertain my two little kids running around at my feet in the kitchen all the time!

It’s a win win for me!

I’ll be honest though, I put off for a while getting one because I didn’t think I would like it or use it that much, boy was I wrong! I would use it every day if I could! The possibilities are seriously endless with the amount of things you can do with a quick cooker!

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, you name it!

There is a learning curve, but you will learn what is best for everything in no time. There are also Facebook groups specifically for the Pampered Chef small appliances, so you can get inspiration and if you have questions you can ask there too!
