This review is from: West Bend 84765 5-Quart Oblong Slow Cooker with Tote, White (Kitchen)
When I received this item I was a little concerned about its size. It looked small compared to the old Rival one-piece crockpot it was replacing. I had planned on purchasing the West Bend 6-quart cooker but went with this 5-quart when it showed up on Friday sale. Today I cooked a whole slab of ribs in it and there was room to spare. The ribs cooked to perfection in *exactly* the time listed in the instruction manual on setting #3. Cleanup took all of about 15 seconds. Storage was a breeze - hey, I think I'm going to LIKE the smaller size! I think the unit could cook an entree for maybe 8-10 people. Be aware that the power cord is short and, because the pan is metal, the unit gets hot on the outside. I personally like shorter power cords and also was looking for a metal pan that I could brown meat in and take straight to the slow cooker base, so those are good for me but may not be for you. Happy cooking!

This review is from: West Bend 84765 5-Quart Oblong Slow Cooker with Tote, White (Kitchen)
I asked for this as a gift - planning on using it in our RV - kind of an alternate for the old crockpot. I tried it out at home and I may just have to get a second one to leave in the RV! The pot is spacious for it's size. The recipes give guidelines for faster and slower cooking speeds. I tried a pot roast and it cooked perfectly in the specified time. I have also used it for slow-cooked spaghetti sauce. I like the fact that you can remove it from the base and refrigerate it. Much more useful than a crockpot. It goes back on the stove for warm up, and the tote allows you to take it for potluck suppers. I have also found the base to be a perfect size to hold a couple of ceramic dishes with hot dips for a party. The glass cover can be used for a serving dish and cleanup of everything is a snap.

This slow cooker lets you cook all day on 3 (low) without overcooking or burning the food like some popular crockery cookers will do. The meat is very tender, but doesn't disintegrate. Being able to pre-brown the meat and onions in the same pan saves some clean up, and adds a little more sophisticated flavor to the dish. Leftovers can be saved in the pan (the plastic cover is a nice touch) and reheated right on the stove, which is very convenient.
