4.0 out of 5 stars Nice item - but not a true slow cooker, March 7, 2005

I use this item all the time and am pleased with the purchase. That being said, the buyer should be aware that it's not a true slow cooker in that a) it's metal and not crockery, b) the heating element is not wrap-around, and c) it heats rapidly rather than slowly. Because of this, your basic crock-pot recipes might be hit-and-miss in this thing.

Still, it pinch-hits for a true slow cooker in most applications. It makes great soups and stews, and the baked beans recipe in the manual is standard fare for my cookouts.

I've never used the nonstick grill surface for anything, and really can't see a reason for it. Most pans will give you more surface area and be a lot easier on the cleanup. On the other hand it does have some potential as an extra hot plate for buffet serving.

Overall, I'm glad I have one, though I'd wish I'd realized at the time of purchase that it doesn't work quite like a real slow cooker.

I have had this slow cooker for about 12 yrs now and it is wonderful. It cooks to perfection and is easy to clean. The lid can be used a a oven dish even.I use mine often for roast chicken and pot roast, A great product. I gave one to my mother for a gift and she loves it and uses it all the time.

Have used this for slow cooker recipes where instructions tell you to pour off drippings. It's much easier using this cooker rather than the stoneware crocks. Also, the non-stick coating makes clean-up a snap. Also, like the meat rack that is included so meats don't have to sit in so much fat. Seems to cook as well as the heat surrounded slow cookers. The lid fits more snugly than on other cookers.
