Tayama Slow Cookers Review

Tayama Slow Cookers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While reading a recently-recommended cookbook for smaller slow cookers, I shopped offline for what the book recommended -- an oval slow cooker around the 1.5 to 2.0 quart range. Oval (instead of round) because the shape fits more typical ingredients such as chicken breasts.
The picture attached to the 1.5qt product looked pretty oval to me, with a wide front face unlike other small slow-cooker product pictures. The title and description also lacked an indication that it is "round" like all the other small slow-cookers.
Well, the picture is just a camera angle, and this product very, very round.
Since it's here, now, I'm using it and it indeed works, so at least 3 stars for that!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.
Update Dec 2010 - I feel like I should add an update to this review, given the quality problems some people have experienced - I have used this regularly for almost a year now, and it is holding up spectacularly. I store it in the back of a kitchen cabinet, so I have to drag it out to use it, so it is not being coddled. Most Sundays I roast a chicken in the oven, and then as I pull the meat off, I throw everything else in this crockpot (including pan drippings), cover it in water, add 1 TBSP of apple cider vinegar (for extracting minerals from the bones), and set it to cook on low for 10 hours, then switch to warm. Then I forget it until morning, when I wake up and unplug it, and let it cool a little. Then I strain it, and have 2 quarts of nice stock to use through the week. I love this thing, but it does sound like you either get a good one or a bad one, I would hope the company would send a replacement if it falls apart as quickly as some are experiencing.

Cuisinart CSC-650 Slow Cooker Review

Cuisinart CSC-650 Slow Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this slow cooker.
America's Test Kitchen recommends West Bend Versatility slow cooker. It is a truly versatile model, but I didn't like its aluminum insert. As you may know, aluminum can be hazardous to health, so this slow cooker was scratched off my list pretty quickly.
The other models I looked at were All-Clad Stainless Steel Slow Cooker (available from William Sonoma only), Farberware Millennium (also recommended by America's Test Kitchen), Cuisinart CSC-650 and various Rival models ("various Rival models" has an interesting ring to it :) ).
All of the latest slow cookers are made in China, so I was somewhat concerned about the construction quality. One of the main reasons I picked Cuisinart model was a 3-year warranty, compared to just 1 year for the rest of the competition.
Another factor was the generally positive feedback from CSC-650 owners. Cooking.com is probably a better place to check for reviews, because they let you post a review only if you actually purchased that particular item from them.
I had this baby delivered to me about a week ago, and I put it to work right away. I must say I am satisfied with my purchase decision. Having said that, here's a list of things that I do and don't like about this machine...
Do Like:
--------
- 3-year warranty (1 year for every other slow cooker I researched)
- retractable cord (I wish every appliance had it!)
- cooks well (overall), and no, it doesn't burn food as some reviewers have indicated
- construction quality seems to be good, although it is impossible to say for sure until appliance is a couple of years old
Don't Like:
-----------
- stainless steel housing gets stained quite easily, should have been more fingerprint-resistant
- "Made in China": $99 is a premium price to pay for an item that was manufactured using cheap labor; manufacturers who reap huge profits from the North American market should invest into the local labor market
- cooks most things faster than recipies (even the ones included in Cuisinart booklet) indicate, so you have to keep an eye on your food to make sure it doesn't overcook
After purchasing the slow cooker, I headed straight to the local bookstore to pick up a recipe book. I skimmed through about 6-7 titles, and ended up buying Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann. Most of its recipies are made from scratch and rarely use any canned ingridients. It also seems to have the best overall collection of recipies.
Yesterday, I had a few friends over and we had ourselves a feast. I cooked quite a few things in the slow cooker:
- Lamb Goulash (which was ruined/overcooked - the first thing I ever done in this slow cooker)
- Chicken Casseatore (not sure about spelling, it's from the Cuisinart booklet) came out nicely, it was around the time that I started looking closely after the cooking process.
- Short Ribs In Red Wine were perfect, here, again, the cooking time was 5 hours instead of 7 hours indicated in the recipe.
Overall, I am happy. I didn't experience any of the problems reported by some reviewers. I can safely recommend this appliance.

Crockpot, 5QT Round Countdown White Review

Crockpot, 5QT Round Countdown White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this for my bridal shower. I'd registered for the SCRC500-W but apparently, it's no longer available and this model has replaced it. I am most certainly very happy with this product. I made one of my recipes I usually cook on low on the stove top. I prepared it the night before and then in the morning, put it all into the crock pot and set it on low for 10 hours. When I got home, it was perfect. This is the first time I'd ever used a crock pot and I was very happy with the results. I very much love how once it finishes the cooking time, it will kick down to warm. It is a nice even heat that worked so well to make my dish so tender. The crock was extremely easy to clean when I was done. I'll be using this a lot.

Purchased slow cooker through Amazon.com on November 10.
1st crock was chipped, used it anyway and found it leaked also (crack I couldn't see).
Amazon quickly sent replacement. 2nd crock is warped and lid (1st or 2nd) does not fit properly - major gap.
Ordered a replacement again ... response from Amazon
"As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are unable to send another replacement.
We will investigate and remedy the situation with the item; however, I cannot guarantee when the error may be fixed."
We are SOOOOO disappointed with KitchenAid. (Amazon has been VERY responsive, as always!)

6qt Slow Cooker- SS Review

6qt Slow Cooker- SS
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this product for about two years now. The oval shape of the pot is nice because larger objects set done inside much easier than the conventional round crocks. The four setting are very easy to use and have built in timers. When the timer is finished, it automatically switches to warm. The buttons are smooth and the front is easily wiped clean. It has never burned anything like I have heard some people say with other type newer model crocks. My only complaint, the reason it is not getting five stars, is that even though they made the top out of glass, the made the handle out of a cheap plastic. After only using it for a few months the plastic handle broke off. Luckily it was just screwed on. I was able to go to Home Depot and pick up a ceramic knob and screw it back on.

Toastess MSC-569 Multipot Stainless-Steel 5-Quart Digital Slow Cooker Review

Toastess MSC-569 Multipot Stainless-Steel 5-Quart Digital Slow Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First, for anyone wondering how this slow cooker (MSC-569) is different from the MSC-570 model, the only differences are the handles and lid; they are otherwise identical. That info is straight from the manufacturer (I asked).
Second, there's already a great review on this product (the MSC-570 verson), which I recommend anyone interested read. It can be found here:
Toastess Msc-570 Dgtl Slow Cooker 4qtAs for my own review, I've found this to be a fantastic model. What I like about it, as stated in the above linked review, is that it has a lower wattage heating element than models from other companies. The element is also constant output, rather than the variable output found in almost every other slow cooker on the market. This results in a much more even heating, and makes burning something you'll probably never need to worry about (assuming proper usage, of course).
The main concern I had before buying this unit was that the food would heat too slowly and potentially cause food-safety issues. I admit, the food does seem to heat rather slowly at first, but I've used this slow cooker on all sorts of meats, always on the low setting, and I've never had a problem. Just keep the lid closed and don't put anything frozen in there.
Also, something to note for slow cookers in general, "programmable" does NOT mean "delayed-start." A lot of people want a slow cooker that they can program to start cooking later, rather than right then. Manufacturers do not add this feature for safety reasons, as it's not really a good idea to put raw meat in a pot and tell the machine to let it sit at room temperature for several hours before cooking. They'd have lawsuits left and right from people leaving raw food in there for a day and making themselves sick.
Anyway, I'm really happy with my Toastess, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Easily prepare soups, casseroles, pot roasts, curries, and more with this 5-quart round-shaped slow cooker. Simply add ingredients to the unit's crockery casserole, insert it in the cooker, set the timer, and choose from three heat settings--"low", "high", or "warm", which maintains a perfect serving temperature without overcooking. The unit will also switch over to keep-warm mode automatically once the timed cooking session has ended. The slow cooker's domed-shaped tempered-glass lid helps hold in the heat, allows condensation to drip back inside, and makes it possible to check on meals at a glance. Other highlights include a top-access digital control panel for comfortable reading and programming, stainless-steel loop carrying handles on the base, integrated side handles on the crockery casserole, and a loop handle on the lid for safe removal. Even more, the crockery casserole can go in the freezer or refrigerator for making meals ahead of time or for storing leftovers, as well as in the microwave, convection, or conventional oven for extra cooking options. Housed in beautiful stainless steel, the slow cooker measures approximately 15 by 10 by 15 inches.
