4.0 out of 5 stars Practical shape and size, November 6, 2002

I used my oval slow cooker for the first time today and made an incredible pot roast. Using a recipe from Rosanne Gold's Recipe's 123 cookbook, I modified it for the slow cooker. The 3 ingredients, rump roast, white wine vinegar and coffee were intriguing. It came out incredibly tender and flavorful.

The slow cooker oval shape is practical and my roast fit nicely in it. It looks like a whole chicken would also fit nicely. The size is perfect for everyday use but is big enough for entertaining too. Other crock pots that I looked at were quite large and would not work as well for me for smaller meals(i.e. a 2-4 lb roast or chicken)

The only negative would be that it sits on 3 legs not 4, which seems odd given the oval shape. Overall I would buy it again and am already plotting and planning my next slow cooked meal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Crock Pot, May 23, 2003

Purchased this for my mother for Christmas, and she loved it. Her favorite feature was the "Keep Warm" setting, which is great for serving during parties, and not overcooking your food. We had no problems with it. The removable crock is great for serving and cleaning, and the vegetable emblem on the outside is very attractive. Would purchase again!

This review is from: Proctor Silex Oval Slow Cooker (Kitchen)

I needed a slow cooker in which to cook a roast or poultry. I have a smaller older model crock pot from this manufacturer which I still use and consider a good appliance. My decision to buy this model was primarily based on my satisfaction with the older unit. My primary dissatifaction with this model is that the low cook setting seems to be useless; the high setting works fine. Next, the overall construction is cheap. The removable crock is heavy duty; however the heating unit is flimsy. I pressed lightly on the sheet metal side of the heating unit and was afraid I had damaged it. I liked the glass lid(as opposed to the plastic lid of my older model); however, the glass is too thin. A heavier glass lid would help prevent breakage, and it would not lift up as much during the cooking process. Overall, the unit worked satisfactorily on the high setting but it is not of quality construction.
