$190.00 Est. at Amazon

from Cheryle, www.cooking.com
our first meal was an old fashioned beef stew that went into the cooker in the a.m.
from Lori, www.cooking.com
it delivers what it promises: programable, even heat to beautifully cook meats tender and juicy.
from Gayle, www.cooking.com
this is my first experience using a slow cooker, however, i fixed a pot roast and cooked the meat and vegetables for 8 hours.
from "Food Network addict", www.abt.com
because it has a large oval space, one is able to lay meat, veggies, etc inside and season them, and then add any sauces / mixtures you would like to cook them in.
from Susan, www.cooking.com
the slow cooking was worry free without overcooking the meat, which i am prone to do.

from www.amazon.com
because you are cooking in slow temperature the meat juices come out and there is no need for water, maybe just 3/4 a cup if it looks too dry after coking for a few hours.
from www.amazon.com
this means you can take it over the stove and brown meats or sear then move it to the base plate for slow cooking.
from www.amazon.com
the soup from it is terrific.
from www.amazon.com
(overnight -- throw in bones and water; when i wake up add aromatics and let it go for another 2 hours), beans (cold water + low heat; 4 - 6 hours later they're done), and the occasional meat dish.
from www.amazon.com
the new oval shape is great - it stores much better than my old round one, and you can fit oddly shaped cuts of meat and veggies in.

large enough capacity for those generous-sized stews, and it is shaped ideally for those extra large chuck roasts.
