Amazon.com Product Description
From The Healthy Kitchen line developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, this high-performance slow cooker helps support healthy living. Not only does slow cooking work great for perfectly cooked meats and vegetables, it also helps preserve essential nutrients important to one's well-being. The slow cooker features a removable dishwasher-safe 5-quart cooking crock, and it comes programmed with more than 40 recipes. Programmed recipes cook automatically for up to 20 hours, and when finished, the unit transfers to a keep-warm mode that maintains an ideal serving temperature for up to six hours before shutting off completely. Other highlights include a secure-fitting see-through glass lid that traps in heat, moisture, and nutrients; generous side handles for simple transport; and push-button controls with an easy-to-read display. A Harvard-graduate, Andrew Weil, MD has devoted over 30 years to providing a unique approach to health care, encompassing body, mind, and spirit. Manufactured by Spring Switzerland, the slow cooker measures approximately 17 by 14 by 12 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. An instruction book comes included.

Customer Reviews

Excellent slow cooker
I was going to get the 7 quart model which had excellent reviews here but decided the 5 quart would suffice for my cooking needs. I have already used it a handful of times in the last few weeks since I've purchased and it is as nice to look at as it is to cook with. As with any slow cooker with ceramic insert, take extra care when washing to not bump the insert against the sink, faucet, etc. This slow cooker takes up considerable room on the countertop but I love how I can put a whole chicken in here and still have room to spare!

Nice size, switch-to-warm feature is great!
I have used this several times now, and it is a great crockpot. It seems to have good temperature control, things are cooked perfectly, and the post cooking keep-warm feature is worth its weight in gold to me. I can start it in the morning before I leave for work, and set it to cook per the instructions, and it will finish and switch to warm. I used to have to just use recipes that could tolerate the 10 hours of cooking that they would have to endure. This is also a nice shape, for cooking a variety of items.

arrived broken,with 4 recipes
I ordered the 5 quart unit. It arrived with the control panel hanging off the housing. Also, the booklet that came with it only had 4 short recipes. One was for applesauce. It called for apples, apple juice and cinnamon. I don't need a recipe to tell me how to cook applesauce. I am still going to buy a slow cooker, just not this one.
