W.BEND 6 QT. S. STEEL CROCK OVAL NON-STICK  Product Reviews

"I love my West Bend slow cooker. I love to put a frozen roast in this cooker. I add a little olive oil, seasoning, one onion, quartered. Set the cooker in high and within 4 to 5 hours the roast is done and simmering in it's own juices. I do not add water, Don't need to. If you try this, you will cook your roast,or pork ribs and other meats this way(no water added) Talk about flavor!. So easy and the cleanup is so simple. The pot serves as a serving dish too. Then The pot goes in the dishwasher. How easy! I love it. Today I just ordered this cooker for my daughter and son-in-law. Wedding anniversary gift. I know they will love it too."

"I have a Rival 5 quart "oval" crockpot that I purchased in January. It gets too hot, even on low, and is more "round" than oval. I purchased this model, because a friend has one that still works for her after 30+ years. The stainless steel, non stick interior is better than the crock pot, for weight, durability, and usability. It can be placed in the oven, or in the refridgerator much easier than the crockpot. What REALLY made me choose this model is the heating unit beneath, which is also non-stick coated. You can use it as a griddle, because unlike most slow cookers, with only 3-4 levels (Off being one of them), the WestBend has a DIAL from low to VERY HIGH (the griddle setting, which I would not recommend for the pot itself. All slow cookers seem to have too high of heat settings, but with this one, you can dial it low enough to truly give you SLOW cooking. I did a "young turkey" of almost 5 pounds yesterday on "Medium" (betweeen the low and high settings), and it was SO moist, I could not believe it was turkey. The breast was succulent and juicy. I was then able to use the griddle beneath on "Low" to heat regular flour tortillas today and make turkey burritos! I am giving my crock pot to the Thrift Store. THIS is the only slow cooker I will ever need again! The ONE bad thing about this, is its lack of an OFF setting. You MUST unplug the unit, or it will still be on at the lowest setting. An inconvenience, but not a problem."

"Makes delicious pot roast...meat was tender and delicious!!! Will roast a chicken next...pot is also easy to clean!!!"

"Works great and makes slow cooking a breeze. Great for anyone who hates cooking, but wants a home-cooked meal."
