sweet & savory short ribs + coco-turmeric rice
plus all the details on the BEST multi-cooker
They said you can’t make a gourmet meal without breaking a sweat. I said… watch me.
we’re cooking smarter, not harder with the new Crock-Pot Brand MultiMeal Multi-Cooker—the multi-tasking hero I didn’t know I needed. This isn’t your grandma’s slow cooker (although shoutout to grandma; her beef stew slaps). No, this baby replaces 30+ appliances. I mean, we’re talking Rice Cooker? Check. Sauté Pan? Double check. Slow Cooker? Obviously. It even does the dishes for you!
okay, no, it doesn’t, but let ya boy have his fantasy
The moment I knew the Multi-Cooker was a game-changer? When I realized I could cook two different meals at the same time, using different modes, temperatures & cook times & both would be done together. It’s like it has culinary telepathy. One side can be steaming fluffy jasmine rice while the other slow-cooks ribs in a sweet & savory sauce. Hint-hint, it’s today’s recipe.
And thanks to the Revolutionary Smart Timer with DualSync Technology, everything comes out hot & ready at the same time. This means no more eating lukewarm sides or microwaving mains while yelling at your oven for being slow.
I’m pretty sure this is how time travel starts.
why it’s a cut above the rest
goodbye, appliance overload: My once-cluttered counter is now sleek & spacious. This machine truly does it all, simplifying my life & giving me precious countertop real estate for what really matters: decorative bowls of fruit I’ll never eat.
dinner routine? solved: Gone are the days of making dinner in shifts like it’s a culinary relay race. With the Multi-Cooker, I can cook multiple recipes at once without sacrificing flavor or texture.
it’s foolproof: Whether you’re an experienced home chef or someone who burns toast with alarming regularity, the easy-to-use interface makes it accessible for everyone.
dual-pots, endless possibilities
With the MultiMeal Multi-Cooker, you can get wildly creative:
as I’ve mentioned previously, you can sear & slow cook on one side while steaming veggies on the other.
you can also make a decadent chocolate lava cake (yes, it bakes!) while keeping mulled cider warm for dessert.
cook your protein and side simultaneously—think chili & cornbread, chicken curry & basmati rice or pulled pork with steamed bao buns.
The Crock-Pot Brand MultiMeal Multi-Cooker is more than an appliance—it’s my kitchen MVP (most valuable pot), cleanup-reducing hero & my ticket to a more relaxed cooking routine. Whether you’re cooking for your family, hosting friends or trying to impress a special someone with an “effortless” upscale meal, this gadget has your back.
So, if you’re ready to trade chaos for creativity & reclaim your countertops, this is your sign. Grab the Multi-Cooker & get ready to make dinner magic happen because dinner just got a whole lot smarter—& tastier.
Disclaimer: still doesn’t do dishes, but again, a boy can dream.

for the sweet & savory short ribs
2 pounds beef short ribs
1 1/2 cups beef broth
2 1/2 cups apple juice
1 small knob ginger, chopped
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
3/4-1 cup brown sugar
avocado oil
for the coco-turmeric rice
1 1/2 cups long grain, rinsed
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon butter
instructions
Liberally season all sides of short ribs with salt & pepper. Turn the Crock-Pot® Multimeal Multi-Cooker on. On one side of Multi-Cooker, select the sear / saute setting; heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Sear short ribs in batches until deeply golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Add beef broth, apple juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic & brown sugar. Mix until well combined. Nestle in seared beef & cover. Select the slow-cooker high setting & set for 4 hours.
To the second side of the Multi-Cooker, add rice, chicken stock, coconut milk, turmeric, butter & salt. Stir & cover. Select the rice setting & set for 40 minutes. Press the Sync Finish Button before pressing start.
After 4 hours, remove the beef from the Multi-Cooker. Discard about half of the remaining liquid then select the sear / saute setting to reduce the sauce. Serve beef atop rice ladled with reduced sauce alongside fresh herbs.
