 Best appliance in my kitchen! |

This is the best small appliance I have ever had. I have had it 20 years or so. I cook everything in it: pot roasts, pork roasts, stew, pulled pork, beans, etc. I have purchased about 8 of them over the years for wedding gifts, college graduation gifts, Xmas, etc.
There are two main reasons I love this so much. One is the versitility of the heat control. I hate crockpots because all you get is low and high! Give me a break, who cooks like that?? These have settings from 1-5, almost as many as a stove burner. I can brown my stew or roast on 5 then turn it down to 3 or halfway between 3 & 4 or 4 depending on how long I want to be away from the house or want it to cook. The base doubles as a griddle by itself. Takes up very little counter and storage space. The pot goes into the oven or on the stove if you need or want it to. The pot and lid go into the dishwasher, although I ususally just give a quick wash with hot soapy water and wipe off the base. The other reason I love it is it is small and lightweight. No heavy monster crockpots to handle, try to lift full of food and then try and wash!
I have the older model of this cooker that is 6 quarts. At the time I purchased it you had the choice of 4 or 6 qt size. After 20 years I need to replace it, although it still works perfectly, the teflon pot lining is scratched and the teflon coating on the base(griddle) is flaking. But after 20 years of using it 3-5 times a week, its certainly held up wonderfully. I am now purchasing two more, one for me and one as a wedding gift! My only regret is that they no longer make the 6 quart in this model, only the 5 qt. I would recommend it without question!! Enjoy! |

I wore out my West Bend cooker of some 20 years ago, bought one for my dad, and sister and two friends.
This item is sturdy, versatile, easy to maintain, and reliable. Better suited to large pieces of meat like whole chickens because of the shape.
The only negative is the short cord length. |
GREAT SLOW COOKER!

I ordered this slow cooker to replace a Rival that was 10-years-old and no longer coming up to temperature. When it first arrived, I was a bit skeptical as it appeared to be smaller than my original slow cooker, but despite its compact size, this slow cooker holds the same amount as the much bulkier Rival.
PROS: I love the fact that I can brown meats on the stove in the cooker before placing the cooker on the base to slow-cook - no need to dirty up an additional pan browning the meat. I also enjoy using the base as a griddle for pancakes or French toast, or grilled cheese sandwiches - freeing a burner on my stove. The griddle and slow cooker are very easy to clean - the non-stick surface is great. The temperature settings on the griddle range from 1 -5 - 1 being low, 2 medium, 3 representing high for a slow cooker, and 4 and 5 used for griddle use. This slow cooker is so compact! I've never seen a slow cooker of similar capacity take up so little space.
CONS: I have not discovered any yet. |

| This has been the best slow cooker I have every used. My First one I got about 15 years ago and I wore it out. I have bought 4 more since. My mom took one from me. So I am only left with 3 now. They are great for parties and holidays. You cook your food and turn the cooker down and it keeps everything warm in one dish for as long as you need it to. Also love how easy it is to clean. |

Replaces the same one I have had for years. I couldn't fine this one
locally so I bought a similiar one, It was not near the cooker. Found the West Bend on line and was so pleased. I highly recommend it, the control is very accurate and low temp is lower than most for a long cook while at work and ready when I get home. |
