Crock-Pot’s Dual-Sided Multimeal Multicooker Lets Two Dishes Cook at Once
A two-pot slow cooker promises easier weeknight meals and holiday entertaining by letting different temperatures and functions run in parallel.
An updated Crock-Pot slow cooker is drawing strong early praise for letting two meals cook at once. The Crock-Pot Multimeal Multicooker pairs two 3.7-quart nonstick pots that operate independently, letting users run different temperatures and functions on each side while the base powers both. The result is a more flexible, time-saving approach to weeknight dinners and potlucks.
The two sides can slow-cook, sear, sauté, bake, steam and even cook rice, with each pot handling its own cooking program while finishing at the same time. Each pot holds about four servings, and the ceramic-coated surfaces are designed for easy cleaning. Reviewers say the design looks good on the counter and saves space in smaller kitchens. The device is designed to replace multiple gadgets in one compact unit, and it’s easy to program.
Promising reviews flood the page. One shopper described it as “Durable and functional. My new best friend! Soup on one side...cook chicken on the other. Next time. Sauté vegetables one side...cook rice on the other. Very easy to use and clean. The size is great. I use this and it works well with the right heat temps. Great value for the flexibility, plus it looks good on the counter!” — T. Green. Another shopper said, “I am loving my new multi cooker! Each side is still large enough for me to cook a small roast or chili and enjoy the option of having two different meals to be ready at the same time. It will come in very handy for a family gathering!” — Kelli23. A third commenter wrote, “This is the real deal! This good buddy takes the crock pot to the next level. It is perfect for small to large families. I love being able to cook two times a week and have four separate meals and leftovers is great.” — Amazon customer. Additional praise highlighted how short ribs could be seared first and then finished in the second side, and several reviewers noted the two-sided unit makes entertaining easier.
Running with its central appeal, the unit is described as a practical alternative for busy households, with a promise that “set it and forget it” technology helps maintain meals without constant attention. The maker notes that each side’s heat and timing can be adjusted independently, with the two pots completing simultaneously and keeping flavors distinct. The cooker is described as a versatile workhorse that can slow-cook, sear, sauté, bake, steam and rice-cook, while keeping cleanup simple thanks to the ceramic coatings.
In context, Crock-Pot’s two-pan approach sits among a family of multi-function slow cookers and related devices. Reviewers also point to other popular options for different needs, including the Instant Pot Pro 8-quart with 28 programs; the Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker Pro 8-in-1; and various PFAS-free ceramic-coated models. The broader market continues to embrace hybrids that combine cooking methods, programmable timers and easy cleanup, with ratings ranging from roughly 4.5 to 4.8 stars on major retailers. For families and hosts looking to simplify meal prep, the new dual-side Crock-Pot adds a compelling option to a growing category.
