What People Say

Shape allows easier combination of ingredients. Cleaning a snap. Takes slightly longer to come to temp due to separate base, but holds well when stable. Pros: Easy To Clean, Even heating, Handle stays cool, Maintains heat, Non-Stick Cons: Takes long time to heat Best Uses: Large Kitchens, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens from Everyespressomachine.com I've been using this West Bend slow cooker since 1983. I've had my 2nd slow cooker for several years and about to buy a 3rd. This one is the perfect size and shape, easy to use, and with a 5 range heat setting, unlike most slow cookers which offer only a lo and high setting. Great to brown a roast in the pot on the stove, then slow cook with potatoes and carrots. Always a perfect meal! I love my slow cooker! Wouldn't use anything else. Pros: 5 Heat levels, Durable, Easy To Clean, Even heating, Lightweight, Maintains heat, Non-Stick Cons: No OFF switch Best Uses: Easy to cook meals, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens from Everyespressomachine.com Time is a rare commodity in my home. I can put something together quickly in the morning, and it's ready by the time we get home in the afternoon, before the evening rush of sports, dance, meetings, etc. I've cooked chickens, roasts, beans, rice, chili, soups, and many other dishes. I've had mine for about 17 years and it's still going strong! I don't generally like small appliances, but this one, I would not want to live without. Pros: Durable, Easy To Clean, EASY TO HANDLE, Even heating, Handle stays cool, Lightweight, Maintains heat, Non-Stick Cons: Not sold in enough stores Best Uses: Dorm Rooms, Elaborate Meals, For on the go families, Large Kitchens, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens from Everyespressomachine.com I can prepare a full meal in the morning before the outside temperature get too hot. It is wonderful for chicken, ribs, roasts, stews, soups, baked beans and just about everything.Only complaint: The temperature gauge is difficultto see. It needs to be white or larger with temps easily visable. Pros: Durable, Easy To Clean, Even heating, Handle stays cool, Light Weight, Maintains heat, Non-Stick Best Uses: Dorm Rooms, Elaborate Meals, Large Kitchens, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens, Use Everyday Describe Yourself: Avid Cook, Casual Cook, Health Conscious from Everyespressomachine.com This will be our 2nd West Bend 5 Quart Oval Crock Pot. We have worn the original one out over about 20 years use. My wife truly enjoys cooking with this Crock Pot. She cooks roasts, stew, soup, ribs, etc. I am her test kitchen(husband)and she's gotten no complaints from me. Trust me! Try it! You will like it! Pros: Durable, Easy To Clean, Even heating, Handle stays cool, Maintains heat Best Uses: Elaborate Meals, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens Describe Yourself: Casual Cook, Health Conscious from Everyespressomachine.com I've worn out several over the years. Even thetoughest meat is tender in the slow cooker and it doesn't require constant attention. Just put it on and forget it. My family was always going many directions, so the slow cooker was ready when each of them came home. Pros: Durable, Easy To Clean, Even heating, Food taste great, Handle stays cool, Maintains heat, Non-Stick Cons: Scratches Easily Best Uses: easy to use, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens from Everyespressomachine.com I love, love, love this slow cooker. After I get all my food in it, its still light enough to handle. The pots that have that heavy ceramic pot is so heavy (even when it's empty) that older people have a tough time lifting it. I hope this style is made for a long time because if this one goes on the blink I want another one just like it. I like the fact that it sits on a griddle type base. Pros: Easy to clean, Good construction, High quality, Just the right size, Not a ceramic pot, Not too heavy to handle Best Uses: Simple Meals, Small Kitchens Describe Yourself: Casual Cook from Everyespressomachine.com It is still working after 20 years. Lighter weight makes it easy to clean. Grill useful when needing more cooking space. Shape makes it easier to store. from Ekitchengadgets.com Very pleased, use almost daily. Especially like the shape and the adjustable thermostat--much easier toobtain a desired temperature. from Everyespressomachine.com This slow cooker is fantastic. It cooks at a range of temperatures. The 5-Qt container is light weight and easy to manage. It goes from the base to the refrigerator and back to the base to warm leftovers with no problem. The light weight is important to me because of my arthritis and innate clumsiness. It is a whiz to clean. This is the best slow cooker I have ever used. The base is great for making french toast or grilling bacon or sausages. from Everyespressomachine.com
