Customer Reviews

Fantastic Crockpot and a Great Buy!
I have used this pot quite a few times since I purchased it, and it is everything that it stated in the description. I am extremely pleased with this slow cooker as I am able to time exactly when I want my dinner ready. It washes very easily, but I do use cooking spray. I like that it is versatile, and I can brown meat and carmelize onions right on my stove top. It is a very healthy way to create meals. I love it!

Hot Stuff
Still has a tendency to get a little hot, but all in all it's very nice. For example if you toss beans and water in to cook, keep an eye on the water level. Even on low it can dry out. We like it a lot though.

Expensive, but fragile
I bought this slow cooker because my current one was both too small and ran too hot. I have found the temp settings on this cooker to be perfect. While others love the ability to brown their meat directly in this cooker by using the included diffuser, I didn't find it to work so great. The bottom of the pot is not flat. The middle is higher than the sides, so the oil runs to the corners.

My biggest grip is that the stoneware top is fragile. While I was picking it up to stir the soup I was making, it accidentally slipped and chipped the top. It is still functional and it was my fault for letting the top fall against the pot, but I find this to be a problem. The impact was not very hard. I've never chipped any other covers to my other pots or pans. For the price, I'd hope for a cover made of less delicate material.

Otherwise, the cooker does exactly what it is supposed to. Capacity is just as advertised. The dials are great. I love the timer and WARM setting. The handles are great. I just do not like the cover.

I'm giving it two stars because it is so expensive. For the price, I'd expect a simple slow cooker to have no faults. I'd find a less costly, more rugged model if I could do it all over again.

I may call the company and see if they're willing to give me a replacement cover. If so, I'll update this review.
