 Received free with another purchase... Nov 29, 2003
By Michael Chiodo
And that is about what it is worth. I purchased a small appliance and this came free with it from Amazon. After using it a few times I will return to my other crock pot. The lid is designed so the moisture is captured on the outer ring, and the lid tends to "float" on the moisture. When something is cooking the lid will start vibrating as if there were an earthquake.The "Keep Warm" setting should be labeled "Overcook". Not only did it keep it warm, but it kept it so hot that the contents overcooked. The Keep Warm setting is extremely hot, nearly as hot as the High setting.

 Adequate Dec 04, 2003
By Joanna Daneman
Crock pots are not like they were in the initial years; due to worries about food safety, I've noticed newer crock pots spike the heat at the end of the cycle on "low." My guess is that this is to keep the food sufficiently warm during cooking to avoid bacterial growth. This pot keeps food on "warm" very hot. I had a cheese sauce set on warm to keep it after the initial cooking phase, well, it was cooking still on warm and got browned. This is inexpensive and plain (no funky graphics) and the inner liner pulls out for easy cleaning; something some crock pots in this price range don't have. For a crockpot to use to keep mulled cider warm, cocktail meatballs simmering, or soup hot for serve-yourself-whenever, this is not a bad choice. Or it makes a good smaller crock--my regular crock is rather large and not always suitable for one-or-two person meals. On the whole, this pot has its uses and is reasonably priced enough for occasional purposes.

For the price... can't complain much! Dec 06, 2003
By Kala
I normally am only cooking for myself and my fiance, so this crock pot tends to do just fine. I have another one that is much larger - but I barely use it! This crock pot is super cheap, and works fairly well considering the price. It tends to cook a little higher temperature than it should - sometimes stuff gets a little overcooked (depending on what you're making!). The pot is also easy to clean. The liner inside pulls out and rinses off pretty easily... so far I haven't had many issues with it. For the price, I really can't complain too much. It makes a great crock pot for someone just starting out on their own, or as a gift to a college student or someone getting their first apartment/home. It has its faults, but overall its not a bad appliance.

decent for the price - but note that this is being recalled Dec 24, 2003
the manufacturer has recalled this to replace the base which may crack and spill hot food on the user. you can get information at the manufacturer's website - www.proctor-silex.com

 hot cooker Aug 11, 2004
By L. Lynch
"rain0213"
I love cooking meat in a crockpot because it breaks apart, but no matter what temp I try cooking at with this thing, even keep warm, it comes out like shoe leather. It cooks so hot the lid bounces up and down and the liquid boils. I don't recommend this.
