1.0 out of 5 stars Worst crock pot, December 13, 2009

This 5 qt crock pot is a terrible buy. It burns everything on high and on low. It does not burn on warm but takes forever to cook. I would not recommend this product to anyone. It is a waste of money.

Same experience as everyone else. I just tried 2 hours for a recipe that called for 5 to 8 hours and everything was still well-done-ruined. (It just sits there and boils to death in the cauldron). I was thinking about trying WARM for LOW, but I see that someone else said that didn't work out so well either.

I'm going to try a cast-iron dutch oven and do my slow cooking in the oven instead.

There is a rumor on the WEB that all crock pots stabilize to the same TEMP on HIGH and LOW now days, about 190-degrees. LOW is supposed to use less wattage -- meaning that LOW takes a little longer to nuke your roast. The rumor goes on to say that LOW used to stabilize to about 160 degrees, but people were getting sick because they couldn't follow simple instructions pertaining to thawing out that hunk of frozen meat BEFORE throwing it into the crock-pot. (I guess they couldn't be bothered to buy a thermometer either). Ruined it for everyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Burns the food, November 1, 2010

Doesn't matter whether it's on high or low... it burns the food and half of it evaporates as it's cooking, so there's even less when it's done. what a waste of money.
