Product Description

The reason this item is called Versatility, The Everyday Slow Cooker is due to the ways it can be used. With the highly polished stainless steel cooking vessel on the base - it's a slow cooker. The vessel can also be used in the oven or on top of the stove, when browning a roast to slow cook is desired. The vessel can be set in the freezer and is dishwasher safe. The base doubles as a mini grill, perfect for grilling a burger, a couple of eggs, toasted cheese sandwiches or anything else that fits. A very VERSATILE product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Slow Cooker I've Ever Had, May 23, 2006

I don't know why the other reviewer rated this versatile slow cooker so badly? I have used mine for over a year for roasts, whole chickens, chili, soups, etc. and all are done to perfection on "low". Sounds to me like the other reviewer had a defective one. This slow cooker really IS versatile! I have the stainless steel model, not the black aluminum one. You can slow cook all day or speed things up by using medium or high temperature settings. I will replace mine immediately if it wears out...don't know what I would do without it! I use it almost every day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but I preferred the black version, May 12, 2007

This is my second Versatility, the first one being the basic black version. I ordered the second one because the nonstick coating on mine was coming off after quite a lot of use. The only problem with this one is that the bottom of the pan tends to warp when used on the stovetop. Also, I don't need the grill feature. Otherwise I'd recommend this line of slow cookers if you want to brown meat straight in the pan, something I prefer. There is another make of versatile cooker out there, but it costs in the order of $250 so this is a good low cost alternative.

We like our cooker because it is larger than our older alumimum one and we can put the pan with cover in the oven as well as browning the food in the pan on the stovetop.

Though we are careful and only use nylon and silicone stirring utinsels, we have a couple of scratches already in the teflon coating. Even so, we would recommend this cooker.
