Great crock pot!
We love this product! The features on it are fantastic. We especially like the probe setting. You simply insert the probe into your meat and it will monitor the cooking process until the meat has reached the desired temperature. It then automatically switches to a low setting to keep your meal warm until you are ready to eat. There's no guessing how long it will take to cook. Throw in a few vegetables and have a home-cooked meal with very little fuss!
Another awesome feature is the clip-tight gasket lid. It's perfect for traveling to pot-luck dinners without worrying that you will ruin the upholstery in your car from a spill.
Our family highly recommends this product!
One note of caution. Watch the price when ordering online. Amazon currently has it selling for nearly $200 but it can be found in stores for a fraction of that price--usually $50-$60.

Great for chili soups etc...This is a great value and enduring product. I've had my Rival crock pot for over 10 years and have used it literally HUNDREDS of times. This is another one of those very low cost but high value kitchen tools.
The low setting allows for slow (12 hour+) cooking overnight or all day. I love to put on a pot of chili before I go to bed or work and let the house soak up the aroma!
Just be careful with the countertop placement as the sides get very hot!More detail ...
NOT a SLOW cooker.
Even on the lowest setting it boiled it cooks at way too high a temperature. Food was overcooked it is a waste of money. I'll stick with my old one. You would think appliances could be IMPROVED upon over time. It looks good but doesn't do the job for which it is intended.

The Best Slow CookerThis is the best slow cooker I've ever used. Having three sizes of crocks let us cook just for the two of us or for the whole family when they're home. And they stack inside each other for storage so they take up little room. The crocks and heating unit wipe up easily. The simple manual controls are all we need. I make a large crock of chili or soup using a liner serve and then freeze the remaining portion in the liner. After a few weeks I take out the chili in the liner put it in the smaller crock and heat it through in the slow cooker. I saw a version of this slow cooker in Target for $59.99 but all the crocks were tan; this is much prettier. You can't go wrong with these and you'll be the envy at your next potluck.

Best Crock PotI have this Crock Pot but my crock insert is white instead of black. I bought this slow cooker probably in the late 1990s. I own three slow cookers (the Rival 3-1/2-quart oval and the Rival 6-quart) and this is the best one and the one I use the most. It is 2-1/2 quarts and is perfect for two people. It cooks the best out of all three of my slow cookers as it does not overcook the food as the other two will. I find that the cooking times listed in most slow cooker cookbooks are very accurate for this Crock Pot but for my other two larger models I must reduce the cooking time. I have never had overcooked food in this slow cooker. Everything has always cooked to perfection. Most recipes in slow cooker cookbooks are written for 6 to 8 servings. If I cut the recipes in half they will fit perfectly in this Crock Pot and fill it 3/4 full. That is just enough food for my husband and me and will usually leave leftovers for one or two more meals for one person. This slow cooker also looks very nice as it is all white and matches my kitchen so it is always out on the counter. I use it many times a week and I am very happy with it. Since it cooks at such a low temperature whenever I cook meat I use the high setting for the first hour and then reduce it to low and cook for one hour less than the stated recipe (since one hour on high is equal to two hours on low). Everything turns out perfectly this way. The potatoes and carrots are perfectly tender and have not cooked down to mush as has happened in my larger more powerful Crock Pots.
I highly recommend this model if the size is big enough for you because it works the way slow cookers are supposed to work - cooking the food slowly and gently.

I love my slow cooker!This is my third West Bend Slow Cooker in 20 years. I got rid of my oldest one and now have two I use regularly. I ordered this one because it had a carrier tote; I take my slow cooker with me to covered-dish dinners and church socials. This is a nice extra feature but I would have bought a West Bend anyway; I like the adjustable heat-not just high medium and low. I use my slow cookers to thaw and reheat frozen foodscook turkey breasts and make soups.You can put ingredients in the cooker in the morning and come home to a hot dinner. This is a good product easy to clean and can be used on the stove top or even in the freezer. I highly recommend it.

Great afternoon picnic table and benches projectI purchased 8 benches - 4 for our house and 4 as house warming gifts for friends who relocated to the country. These benches were a breeze to put together. After thinking it over I decided to incorporate 2x6s in place of 2x4s where I could to prevent warping. 2x6 lumber fits perfect into this construction. I've attached photos above - check 2x6 construction. the 2x4 braces below make for solid shake-free benches. I sanded and finished mine with three coats of Thompsons "Honey Gold" tint Watersealant. After this summer and winter in OK I'll report back on how well these held up. All construction so far has been 6 feet long.
You have to realize it's wood you're working with and prepare accordingly. Measure to get the most of each cut from the length wood you buy. I purchased #2 Douglas Fir - it's a bit stronger than framing lumber.

Beautiful 1.5 qt slow cookerI was hesitant to order this since there were only two reviews and one was very negative. I have had it about 5 days and have made at least three meals with it. It is very like the the slow cooker that it replaced another brand but the same wattage etc. This one appears to work just fine and I very much like the red color. It also has a defrost setting which I have used one time and found it very useful. Otherwise it is just like my old 1 1/2 quart model. That one lasted 7 years. For one or two people this size is ideal. For soups beans spaghetti sauce and small portions of meat like pork chops it can not be beat.

Elite Gourmet 8.5 qt.We have a family of 7 and required a larger crock pot. This one is excellent as it holds twice what we could normally get in our old crock pot. As the exterior is stainless steel it does get hot. But the upside is that the cooking time is about the same if not better than with the smaller pots. Definetely worth the investmest if you are cooker for larger groups.

I chose this over the All Clad Non Stick slow cooker
I spent a year looking for a good slow cooker that (1) When set on low did not boil food too hot (2) Could hold enough for large batch cooking (3) Did not have a hinged lid (hard to clean and breaks easily) (4) Is programmable for a set amount of time then switches to warm (5) Was reasonably priced. I tried cheapo store brand round slow cookers which nuked my food - no need to explain since most people have had one at one point or another. Last fall I purchased the top of the line All Clad slow cooker with non-stick insert from Williams Sonoma. After sales tax it cost me a little over $300 which made me nervous. The first meal I made in it was braised short ribs. I browned the ribs in the slow cooker insert on the stove and set it on low for several hours. The food was delish and it kept a gentle simmer but I was horrified to find light scratch marks on the inside of the insert as I was washing the dishes. I used the All Clad for several days and then finally returned it because I couldn't bear the thought of having paid that much money for something that wasn't going to last. Besides I felt a bit weird about simmering food for many hours in that non-stick coating that may one day start coming off. I then decided to look for a traditional crock pot with a timer - if I need to saute or brown I now do it in a cast iron pan the night before deglaze then dump all of the contents into a container that goes into the fridge if I am going to start the crock in the morning. When I get up I fill up the crock pot with the prepped food from the night before hit the buttons then leave for work. So far this ELume version has been great.
Pros: The low setting is actually a low simmer. I've made Indian lentil/dahl curries bbq pulled pork baked beans Chinese jook/congee Beef stew Chili verdered chili soups stock the list goes on. I typically program it to cook for 10 hours on low and it works like a charm. Food is really slow cooked and there are no hot spots burned stuck on food like previous appliances I've owned. The polished stainless finish looks beautiful - although not it does not have as high of quality finish as the All Clad.
Cons: The programmable button/pad area can be improved - the numbers are difficult to read unless you are looking at it directly at eye level meaning you have to bend down to see what you're pressing. Mine came with a burned-out area on the keypad but I didn't bother returning it since it didn't affect the function - you can still see that it's the "on" button it just doesn't light up. The black keypad part feels a tad cheap and you can almost pry it off if you wanted to (esp. when it gets hot) because it's glued on (!) albeit very sturdily - hopefully this lasts for a while. The crock pot itself gets a bit hot when cooking but not excessively hot like ones I've had before.
Bottom Line: I paid about $75 for this including tax. Purchased at Linens N Things with a coupon. I'm giving this a four star rating - good quality for that price but I would pay no more. Compared to my week of owning a $300 slow cooker this is a bargain.

Not really programmable but better than average quality.This cooker has a digital timer that you can set to cook at your chosen setting (Simmer Low High) for any time up to 24 hours. At the end of the set cooking time it automatically switches to Warm and then switches itself off after another eight hours. IMO a truly "Programmable" cooker would change heat settings during cooking and perhaps have a delayed start function; this unit does neither.
On the other hand the Simmer setting is what's missing from some other slow cookers and perhaps that's why foods get burned. This cooker heats to 185°F on Simmer 200°F on Low 212°F on High and 165°F on Warm. Some cook books including Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook assume that Low is 180°. 180°F is the oven temperature I've always used for slow cooking a leg of lamb London broil and other roasts so the lower Simmer setting is something I appreciate.
The stainless steel housing glass lid control panel and ceramic pot are all nicely constructed and finished - nothing's cheap-looking or flimsy - and looks like they'll last for years. The 3-1/2qt oval pot holds a 2-1/2lb chuck roast without the meat touching the sides and there's enough room for a layer of vegetables (a couple of cups chopped) a layer a meat a couple inches thick and new potatoes on top. You could cook a complete meal in this for three or four people. Mine is a one-person household and this is the ideal size for me; anything smaller wouldn't make enough leftovers.
The included cookbook has nutritional information - number of servings calories carbs fat protein sodium and more - for all 50 recipes. I gave it four stars instead of five because it's not what I consider programmable but I'm very pleased with it for the price.

This stuff is awexome!By mixing this with a little olive oil and smearing it over the chicken it provides a spicy easy to grill (no/low sugar hence not blackened) chicken.
