Overview
A 7-quart, 1300-watt multi-cooker from Lotus's Professional Series that combines a tri-ply Dutch oven, slow cooker, sous vide cooker, and rice cooker in one stainless steel unit, with a probe for temperature-controlled cooking modes.
The six modes span manual, meal timer, program, rice, saute/sear, and sous vide, aimed at replacing several single-purpose appliances. Reviewers who tested sous vide, rice, braising, and slow cooking in the same unit reported consistently good results across all of them, which is the harder thing for a multi-cooker to pull off. The build quality, a heavy base and tri-ply pot, comes up again and again as the reason people feel the price is justified despite it being a genuinely expensive appliance.
- 6 cooking modes including sous vide and rice
- 7-quart tri-ply stainless pot
- 1300-watt heating
- Included sous vide rack and probe
Who it's for
Suits a cook who wants to consolidate a Dutch oven, slow cooker, rice cooker, and sous vide setup into one countertop unit and has the space to store something on the larger side. Less suited to anyone who only needs one of those functions or has limited cabinet space.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who tried multiple modes, sous vide chicken, braised osso buco, slow-cooked ribs, and rice, reported strong results across the board and praised the heavy stainless build and tri-ply pot. The recurring complaint is price: several buyers call it an excellent cooker but a hard sell compared to single-function alternatives, and more than one mentioned the unit's large size makes storage a consideration.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Handles sous vide, rice, slow cooking, and searing in one unit
- Heavy tri-ply pot and stainless build reviewers call durable
- Included probe for precise sous vide and program-mode temperatures
- 7-quart capacity suits family-size batches
Performance notes
The sous vide mode uses a heated water bath with an included rack and probe to hold precise temperatures, while rice mode is rated for 6 to 18 cups. Reviewers who ran chicken breast, osso buco, and ribs through the sous vide and slow cook modes described consistently even results, and the saute/sear mode is meant to add browning before or after those slower methods.
