 Great product! Sep 14, 2005
By E. Keyt
This is a quality product, perfect for cooking for 1-3 people (smaller families, college students, etc.). I highly recommend it. It is so easy to use and fuss-free. Also, most smaller crock pots have only one setting, but this one has three (high, low, and keep warm). It has a nice glass lid and a removable ceramic crock, both of which you can clean in the dishwasher. I use mine at least a few times a week, and I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

Excellent for empty nester .... or a student! Aug 07, 2007
By L. Mountford
This little slow cooker has everything you need: removable crock, longer cord, three (*3*) heat settings, glass metal-rimmed lid, small footprint. As far as I can tell, it doesn't overheat, even on high. I just made a wonderful roast in it: about 1.5 lbs chuck roast (trimmed), 1 medium Walla Walla sweet onion, 2/3 can low-sodium beef broth, 2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce, and 1 Tbsp no-salt garlic/herb seasoning blend; brown the roast in a little oil, put in crock with other ingredients; cook on high for 4.5 hrs or on low for 8 hrs should do the trick; thicken the juice with a little cornstarch for gravy to serve over mashed potatoes --- HEAVEN!!!
It's the perfect size for 2-3 chicken breast halves, a small pork roast or a pork tenderloin or two, a nice small pot of soup, etc. You should get enough for a meal today plus leftovers for a couple of additional meals.
Clean up is a breeze with the removable crock, and the exterior of the unit cleans just fine with a damp cloth. The small footprint allows for out-of-the-way placement on the countertop for cooking, and easier storage.
I'm an older adult grad student, and this little cooker is going to get a lot of use this winter while I'm working on my thesis. Highly recommended!

Buy it! May 31, 2006
By Frobby
If you're looking for a small slow cooker for dips, appetizers, whatever, this is it. It's got 2 of the most important features to look for in a slow cooker, a removable crock and a keep warm setting. I don't know why, but these features are kind of hard to find on smaller crock pots. I have another one this size that only has an on and off setting with no removable crock. It will never be used again.

A Real Slow Cooker Feb 23, 2007
By Teadye
Unlike most of the other little crockpots, this one is the real deal in miniature, not a dip-heater. When I have to take a dish to a party I drag out the monster crockpot, but for just the two of us this is perfect! I can throw in a meal early in the day whenever I am not busy and it will be sitting there ready to eat when my husband rolls in that evening. In his job it's hard to tell when he'll get home so I really appreciate crock pots. No rushing around cooking at the end of a long day... trying to put something on the table when you are ready to blob out on the sofa. This one cooks a small meal and the removable little crock fits easily in the dishwasher, or in the fridge if there are leftovers or for cook-ahead items. It does a great job on small quantities of dried beans, too, giving about the equivalent of a canful the first day and then coming back out of the fridge the next day for the chili. I haven't tried pinhead oats overnight in this yet but that is something I will do, since I love oatmeal and my husband hates it. It'll make just enough for me. This is exactly what I was hoping for: crock pot convenience without the gallons of leftovers!

1.5 quart slow cooker.
This product has extended my expectation of independent living.At coming 90 years of age,the simplicity of cooking and safety of never burning or boiling over,has removed a major problem of having to be aware every minute of stove or oven use
