With the Cuisinart Cook Central, you can do it all without firing up the stovetop. Brown ingredients then roast or slow cook with the press of a button for effortless one-pot cooking. Presets, time, and temperature controls make it simple to slow cook, roast, brown/sauté, or steam alone, or in combination! The cook central makes dinnertime easy and programmed ahead of time so your meal is done exactly when you want it. The cast aluminum pot is nonstick and removable for easy clean up, no matter how slowly you roast sticky pulled pork.
