It's $249 at Amazon.

also $249 at Williams Sonoma and they have a silver and a red option. No need to buy it here.

The other vendors have the stirring tower as an extra $180 or so. I'm not going to buy it, but I would like one! Especially that candy apple red!

I'd need the blue. Of course I'd have to throw something out to make room. The stirrer part would be necessary for me.

Wow, that really looks interesting. I hope it's on ITKWD today, I'd love to see a full demonstration.

mtc, it's listed on the lineup for ITKWD for today. Boy, I love my electric pressure cooker, but I like the 4 in 1, too. I wish Aldi's would make their version of a multi-cooker!

Prime has it for $250, choice of candy apple, stainless or black. It got all five-star reviews!

What I hate to stir is milk gravy. Only gravy hubbo will eat. Laura of KA said she hated to stand and stir custard/pudding.

I really enjoyed the presentation and was extremely glad when it (especially the SS) sold out . . . it was a really great price based on some of the looking around that I did. I wouldn't mind if it came back as a TSV.

Not even slightly interested and I can think of many other kitchen tools or applicances I'd rather have that cost 350 dollars. I think it's highly over priced for what it does.

Just wanted to update: I believe the stir tower is sold separately on the $250 pots. The stir tower goes for $178. Did not read all the reviews so can't say for sure but the pot is not pictured with the stirrer attached. If so, the Q has a much better price ($78 less).

I MUST be missing something about this. It is just a 4qt slow cooker with an automatic stirrer. I just don't get it.

You aren't missing anything.

Thanks! I thought I might not be getting IT. I still am skeptical about using canned pumpkin for pie since I only ever used pumpkins from the garden for pie. I have learned that canned pumpkin is great in a smoothie or for pets for the fiber!

I got a couple pie pumpkins this year from my garden but the darn squash bugs ended up killing my plants before I noticed them.

Tigriss — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 22:08:47 GMT

I'm sure you will still be able to find them in the farmer's market in your area. We roast ours for 3-4 hours till tender, then scoop out and cool before mashing. The canned pumpkin is already very well cooked and mashed. We don't mash ours so severely, but still with a toothsome bite before mixing (no recipe there since we eyeball it and taste it until it is right). We spend several days baking and then freeze till hard, vacuum seal them and freeze again. That way we have pie all year. We pop it out of the freezer and bake them as we want. We also do this with pecan pies when we harvest pecans from the yard. We freeze the pecans as well for all year use. I never knew how expensive they were till a friend from New Jersey pointed it out. She always said ours tasted so much fresher than the ones in the stores. Our came right from the yard, as most people's do down here. Many people sell the overage for Christmas money since the price is so good!

I already used the pumpkins I harvested this year but luckily I still have frozen pumpkin puree from last year. I do the same, roast in the oven and then scoop it out. This years tasted so good I'm sad there won't be more. I've read stores are expecting a pumpkin shortage this year.
