Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been using various slow cookers for 40 years, and I really do like all of the little features on this one. The handles make it easy to hold, and it heats evenly.
I chose it for several reasons.
1) It is oval. Oval pots allow longer pieces of meat for cooking.
2) Four Quarts is a good size for preparing larger dishes for groups. (I go to a lot of potlucks).
3) At the same time, I can still make smaller dishes in it without worrying
4) It is simple. It has 3 settings, keep warm, low, and high. No fancy electronics to worry about.
When my last "Crockpot" broke, I debated between several sizes. I even looked at the fancy ones that had three sizes of pots included. After comparing prices, I settled on this 4-quart cooker. I figured I could buy it PLUS a small one and still have money left over. Add that to the fact that if I bought two different sizes with the base, I could have two different things cooking at the same time, and this was a real bargain.
If you haven't used a slow cooker before, depending on what you include, you may need to stir occasionally to keep it from burning/sticking. And, meats cook faster than vegies - so save your rare roasts for the oven - slow cookers are for well-done meat that is so tender it falls off the bone. Do check a recipe book or an online recipe before you start, and you'll be a lot happier.

Enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals with the help of this 4-quart oval-shaped slow cooker. The unit works great for cooking up soups, casseroles, pot roasts, curries, and more. Simply add ingredients to the unit's stoneware crock, insert it in the cooker, and turn the temperature-control dial from off to low or high--or to the convenient keep-warm setting, which maintains a perfect serving temperature without overcooking. The appliance provides a tempered-glass lid--with a stay-cool black knob and finger guard--that helps keep in the heat and allows for checking on meals at a glance without disturbing the cooking process. Other thoughtful design details include a handy on/off indicator light, rubber feet, and cool-touch plastic side handles for secure transport from the kitchen to the buffet. For added convenience, the removable crock can also be used as a serving dish at the dining-room table, and it cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Recipes for chicken noodle soup, pork roast, vegetable stew, chili, and more come included. With its beautiful brushed stainless-steel exterior, the 250-watt slow cooker measures 10-1/5 by 13 by 8-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
