Title: Cooks similar to the paradigm of older crock pots
Review: Received boxed well with no dents, cracks or otherwise observable defects. Strengths are the size and simplicity of design with a lack of the digital fluff that drives up costs with its added fragility and high failure rates. The previous crock pot in my possession had a digital module that "bubbled out" across the face of the read-out. Yes, it doesn't have a light. Clue: look to see where the knob is turned if you forgot what you were doing after that 4th glass of wine or Jack without the ice. But whether you have a light or not, assuming it hasn't failed, you were going to put your hands on the product anyway, right, without at least a very light touch to test on either the glass or a side for heat? I don't pick up my toaster, toaster oven or egg steamer with bare hands after I finished using it without at least a light touch. There is a simple, ancient and well-tested device, known by many names and cultures throughout the ages, we now call a potholder, which might be indicated for such situations if such handling is necessary. Yes, the cords are short as a safety feature that tries to force you use the crock pot on a counter next to an outlet as far away as possible from small hands and from interference with the cord. Yes, the handles, such as they are, get hot and they are somewhat small (it's not exactly a "portable" device after all and doesn't advertise itself as such), but what I see is without the extra coatings, plastics, bells and whistles, there is very little on this unit to break (or break off) unless you want to perform a drop test or throw it against a wall. For those that complain the crock pot gets hot, I suppose you must have a floor stove that doesn't. Use a timer to shut it off if you are not at home at the end of cook time if that's your major complaint (it's actually safer as it's not subject to heat failures) as suggested by others for those that would have wanted to have the crock pot set the table for them also. All you have to look at is the KitchenAid Crock Pot that was highly rated by America's Test Kitchen as an example of a nightmare waiting to happen for those that like the fancy electronics despite their high failure rates. Here, there may be some things that are inconvenient, but really they're pretty minor when you're looking for something relatively bulletproof with good performance and longevity. I just look at this as a dutch oven that doesn't heat up the kitchen during the summer and saves money if you have an electric stove. I've had both electric and gas and feel a hell of a lot safer walking away from the crock pot for any length of time than either of the stoves with the dutch oven. I understand that a dutch oven may be in theory more precise in terms of even heating over it's entire surface when it's placed inside a stove, but the most I can say IMO is that the differences are minor based on my experience with both. I'll leave that to the Le Creuset upper crust types to argue that out with their 300+ dollar tastes. Here: Marinated 5 pound sirloin tip roast placed at room temperature on low at 5 am...roast 3/4 immersed...broth surrounding roast at 10 am read approx. 140 degrees F. There was good low temperature stability throughout process. At 1:30 pm cooked completely through on the edge of fall apart but could be cut with a fork after slicing. Broth in a meat stew with veggies (one inch cuts) ran at about 150 degrees measured at 4 hours low heat. Not to cause a fight here, but just because there may be some "bubbling" on the surface doesn't in my experience mean "boiling." Heavier liquids seem to do this more and many times I'm not reading anywhere near 212 degrees when I test. Edit: 3/28/22 ...Sometimes I make bad judgments, sometime good and sometimes as in this case a very good judgment. Still working well using it a couple of times each month. Longevity, durability & consistency in operation.

Title: I love this Crock Pot!
Review: I purchased this Crock Pot because I have started to make my dogs homemade dog food (its a long story) and needed a large crock pot in which to do so as I have 3 dogs. In any event, this is a fantastic crock pot. I put the ingredients in, mix them up and dog food magically appears many hours later. The dogs are thrilled, my vet bills are way down, and it works great for people food too. Highly recommend the original crock pot. My old crock pot is over 30 years old and keeps on cooking. I have one from the 70s that still works. Can't go wring with the Original.

Title: Cooks good , but gets hot
Review: I have had my fair share of crockpots and many different sizes , but not this big .When I cook a roast with vegetables , I seem to run out of room . I figured I would buy this and see how much more room this has compared to what I have been using .I found this had plenty of room for my 5 pound roast , tons of potatoes and onions , and one pound of carrots and half a pound of celery with four cans of gravy . I cooked it for 7 hours and was perfect , the meat was so tender it was difficult to get out of the pot , just was delicious .When I went to cook meatballs and sausage I placed to many in the pot and had a mess , my fault as to not thinking about the meat cooking and the juices adding to this . I had 4 pounds of meatball I made and placed in uncooked , then had four pounds of sausage and three jars of sauce. I had to take out about 20 little meatballs to have it not boil over , I had 50 meatballs in total .The outer case on this is flimsy , so I need to take care not to push on the sides as it will dent super easy . None of my old ones are this cheaply made , unfortunately this seems to be how they are made today .So far I love this and my cat uses the box to play in. Hopefully this can last me as long as my old one thatâs over 30 years old , fingers crossed .Clean up is simple , but is heavy and could be difficult for older folks , itâs a tight fit in my kitchen sink , but manageable . The red color is sharp and hope it doesnât fade over time , but if anything goes wrong Iâll be back to update this .

Title: Large and great bang for my buck UPDATE
Review: UPDATE: fits a whole Boston butt easily. Only issue I have is that the labels for the temp above the dial are very faint. If I go to my old one automatically itâs on the wrong heat. I just have to learn the new layout. But I wish they made this print to stand out better. See my last photo.Great price for a real Crock Pot brand slow cooker. This replaced an off brand that cracked after 30 years of use. I was heartbroken, as we raised our family, brought meals to neighbors, and church potlucks for years and years in that thing- heck it even predated the internet!This red color was much less $$ than the black. Red is always a go to for me, it means look out! And for this, it means itâs HOT and itâs ON.Oval shape is good.Four feet vs three makes it steadier.Lid is depressed more than my last one, which makes any overheating and spitting not an issue.Crock comes out for easy cleaning.Heats up quickly and so far so good- Iâll let you know after this big olâ pot of chili is done.

Title: Love it but it varies
Review: Both my dad and I purchased this crockpot. We both absolutely love it, but noticed some variety between the two. Mainly in how hot it gets/how long it takes to cook things. A roast that could be done in my crockpot at 5hrs on low would take longer to reach the same level of tender in his. I donât know what factors may be at play (different houses? Electricity level? Literally no clue), but you may need to experiment a little with the timing of recipes.Also very recently I noticed a hairline fracture in mine. I thought I was seeing things and it ended up cracking the stoneware. I had mine for a few years, but I was rough on the poor girl. My dad has had his just as long but takes much better care of it and his looks brand new. So I would advise that as long as you take care of it properly, there shouldnât be any issues.

Review: We had a crockpot before, but after several years, the handles let go. Replaced with this version. It came in as promised, well packaged, and as described. The 8 quart is heavier than the 6 quart had been, no surprise. The heat measures are fine. This one works as well or better than our old one. It does the job a slow cooker should. Good service, good product, what more can one ask. Good buy.
