 Beautiful 1.5 qt slow cooker Oct 26, 2009
By R. Higgins
I 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.

terrific for my needs Dec 09, 2009
By MD JD Mom
I was looking specifically for a small slow cooker to use for making oatmeal overnight. I already own several larger ones, but only needed two or three servings of oatmeal. This ones works beautifully and is by far the most aesthetically appealing of the four I own, if you can extend the word "aesthetic" to a slow cooker. Cleans up easily with a removable insert that releases food easily.

Mini size for small families or individual servings. Nov 24, 2009
By M. Su
"More Dessert"
Got this pot for the single purpose of making soups that helps wife recoup faster after giving birth. This little pot does the job perfectly. The size is just right for 1 person having 2 servings, or 2 people. Doesn't overcook, doesn't burn, nice color, doesn't take up a bunch of counter space. Don't see how the this could burn holes, perhaps it's just 1 defective one. Especially considering the tiny $14.99 price tag, this one is well worth the money.

Great Feb 01, 2010
By Robert C. Mclean
Like others, I am primarily using for morning oatmeal. ~1 cup of whole oats and ~2 cups of water plus some raisins. I have it set up to a timer to come on about 4AM. By 6 AM, the oatmeal is pretty much perfect. I am using the low setting. I add some applesauce but no sugar. Can feel my cholesterol coming down!
The size is great for a side dish such as lentils. The crock pot is solid as a rock. Have had it for about a month and no cracks or chips, etc. Would recommend it.

 Perfect for Breakfast, But Overcooks A Little Mar 06, 2010
By Kalamazoo
I bought this little slow cooker to make delicious wholesome breakfasts for my husband and me during the winter months. I originally got inspired to do this from Beth Hensperger's book, "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook", which has a whole chapter on breakfast recipes for a mini slow cooker. (I highly recommend that book!)
The cooker is really cute and small--it fits on our kitchen counter without taking up too much space (and that's saying a lot since we live in a small NYC apartment), and I ADORE the red color! So snazzy.
The only downside is that the oatmeal/porridge that we make every day comes out slightly burned on the sides; there's consistently a sticky residue on the sides and the bottom, which makes me think that perhaps even the low setting (for 7-9 hours) is too hot. The oatmeal doesn't burn completely--just the sides are slightly tougher, so there is plenty of good stuff left to eat. (And actually scraping some of the tougher stuff makes for little chewy bits, which is kind of nice.) Maybe we should contact the manufacturer; maybe we got a lemon. But for right now, it does the trick, and for the price, I can't really complain.
