 Best Chicken Stock November 23, 2008

This is great for a small family. Have made soup, stew, and meatballs, which were really good, but just made chicken stock for Thanksgiving cooking using the recipe in the Cuisinart book. Better than Alton Brown's recipe and not nearly as complicated and time consuming. This is the best slow cooker I have owned. It is worth the money.
Really Nice Slow Cooker October 30, 2008

I've gone thru several slow cookers and when the latest got dropped and broken I decided I wanted something a bit more than the basic off-low-high rotary switch model. After researching the available digital models, I settled on this one. I am glad I did.
The design is a bit bulkier than I am used to, but it has nice sturdy handles and is well balanced. The handles on the removable crockery are also big enough to grab with pot holders.
The touch pad programmable timer is easy to set. The three cooking levels (high, low, and simmer) plus "keep warm" are a nice feature.
The book tells you what the temperatures the settings maintain. I like that it will start on "high" no matter what you set it for until it comes up to temperature and then shift to your setting. (Heating quickly past the "Danger Zone") When your cooking time is up, it will shift to "keep warm". The only thing I wish it would allow is dual programming. (Say, 2 hours on high and then 4 hours on low)
Other nice touches: it comes with a dual height rack for the pot and the cord retracts into the body for neat storage.
The instruction book is well written and contains quite a few recipes (70 I think) and the 3 yr warranty is a plus.
Nothing makes cleanup easier (other than having someone else do it) than Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners
Overall I am very pleased with this slow cooker and would recommend it to a friend.
Nice looking and good slow cooker October 3, 2008

This was my first slow cooker. I wanted something which is of medium size good enough to cook food for two+ numbers of people, good looking matching to the rest of the stuffs in my kitchen and I think this is one of right cookers for such a requirement.
I had a bad experience to start with as the cooker came with one of its rubber legs detached with a loose screw moving inside the cooker body. I was very excited about its arrival but the crippled cooker hit my mood in a sad swing. I did not have the patience to return it and wait for another week. So, I opened up the cooker after a busy work day, fought with it for couple of hours and somehow managed to fix it. I tell you, when working on it, I was regretting why at all I opened it up. Whatsoever, when I could get it fixed, that gave me some short of accomplishment and I was hungry enough already not be able to wait till the slow cooker finishes its cooking :)
Now comes the cooking, I never cooked a slow recipe but I bought the slow cooker after tasting the 12 hours slow cook lamb in one Greek restaurant in Banff, Canada during our last out of the country vacation. So, I was all excited to cook the Greek style slow cooked lamb. Got the recipe from internet and the rest was very simple. After 10 hours of cooking ( 3 hour HIGH and the rest on LOW ), what a juicy and beautiful dish came out from the cooker was sheer joy to watch ( a thing of beauty is a joy forever, you know! ) and it spread extreme impatience to eat that good stuff. I also cooked some sausage based soups which came out real delicious. From my little experience, I can tell that the recommended spices and herbs for a specific slow cook dish are very important as those create the great flavors under slow cooking.
In summary, though initially I was disappointed, I was happy eventually and I could make my wife and my friends happier with the bliss of the product.

The first time we used it the pot cracked. The pot is not covered by warranty. A new pot is $35.00 and after shipping it will cost more than half what i paid for it. Cuisinart PSC-400 4 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker - Brushed Stainless Steel
