Summary

A combined electric pressure cooker and slow cooker from Crock-Pot, built for big batches and all-day cooking. Check the model before you buy: a similar 8-quart Crock-Pot slow cooker has no pressure function, and a 220 V spec in some listings is unverified for the US unit.

Strengths

  • One pot pressure-cooks and slow-cooks, so a weeknight sauce and a weekend roast use the same base.
  • The locking lid, lid-lock pin and condensation collector come standard; the smaller 6-quart Express Crock lacks them.
  • The power cord detaches from the base for storage.
  • The cooking pot goes in the dishwasher, though the manual recommends hand-washing.
  • The sealing gasket is a replaceable wear part, and the manual says how to order parts.
  • A one-year limited warranty is included, with phone service in the US.

Weaknesses

  • The manual states the unit has no user serviceable parts; any repair needs an authorized service representative.
  • The sealing gasket may need replacement every 1 to 2 years with regular use.
  • The cooking pot and lid are not oven safe and must not be used on a stovetop, in a microwave, or in an oven.
  • The non-stick pot needs hand-washing and no metal utensils to last.

Pressure cooking and slow cooking

This is a combined electric pressure cooker and slow cooker: one heating base, one pot, both functions. Crock-Pot is a Newell Brands name, and the unit is manufactured by Sunbeam Products, Inc. of Boca Raton, Florida. US listings carry the model identifier SCCPPC800DS.

The pressure side is built around a twist-to-lock lid with a lid-lock pin, a bobber valve, a steam release valve and a large silicone sealing gasket under the lid. The slow side uses the same pot on the same base. The factory manual for this exact unit is titled “8Qt Express Crock XL Multi-Cooker” and is written for North American service.

Cleaning and upkeep

The manual’s care list is short but specific. Examine the sealing gasket before each use and hand-wash it; it may need replacement every 1 to 2 years depending on use. Keep the steam release valve clear of debris, remove it, clean it gently and dry it completely before replacing it. Pull the valve cover off the underside of the lid, wash it in warm soapy water and press it back into place. Press the bobber valve up and down 2 or 3 times before each use, and do the same for the lid lock pin, keeping both clear of debris. Empty the condensation collector after each use and wash it in warm soapy water.

For the cooking pot, the manual recommends hand-washing to preserve the non-stick coating even though it is dishwasher safe, and it forbids metal utensils. White spots can be soaked out with a vinegar or lemon juice solution for 30 minutes. Wipe the heating base with a damp cloth; never immerse it in water or any liquid, and do not use alkaline cleaning agents.

Repairs and warranty

The warranty is a 1 Year Limited Warranty for the original retail purchaser, from the date of initial retail purchase, and it is not transferable; you need the original sales receipt as proof of purchase. In the US it is offered by Sunbeam Products, Inc., Boca Raton, Florida 33431, with warranty service by phone at 1-800-323-9519.

The manual is blunt about repairs: “This Multi-Cooker has no user serviceable parts. Do NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this Multi-Cooker.” Anything beyond cleaning and care goes to an Authorized Service Representative. Replacement parts are ordered through Crock-Pot customer service or the Crock-Pot website.

Which model this is

Crock-Pot sells several look-alike cookers, and listings often blur them. This page covers the 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock, model SCCPPC800DS. It is not the Crock-Pot Manual 8-Quart Slow Cooker (SCV800-BP-BR), a black manual unit with no pressure function. It is also not the smaller 6-quart Express Crock (SCCPPC600-V1) or the older 6-quart model with the hinged lid, whose manual documents no lid-lock pin or condensation collector on the same chassis.

The 8-quart XL manual documents a lid-lock pin, a condensation collector, a separate detachable power cord with a power-cord port and a twist-to-lock lid — features absent from the smaller Express Crock manual.

Treat the 220 V figure as unverified.

No independent test results or owner failure reports were located in this research, so long-term reliability is unverified.
