Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor Silex 33015 1.5-Quart Round Slow Cooker
Customer Review: good
Summary: 4 Stars
It's the first slow cooker I've owned and I have cooked one meal with it only, today, but I like it already. It's $20 and it's basic (no power light for example, which feels odd for any kitchen device) but it has a good quality internal white ceramic pot and glass lid. Three settings - keep warm, low, and high - and nothing else (no timer, no automatic way to switch from cook to keep warm). I had read that some slow cooker lids rattle while they're cooking, but happily that problem did not show up, on low cooking anyway. I cooked a meal for eight hours, and it did not show any signs of drying out, so I think it will be fine for leaving on low heat during the work day. The internal pot lifts out for serving, and it cleaned up immediately I put it in hot soapy water. Size is fine for two or three servings. I'm now kind of glad I could not get the Breville slow cooker (good reviews but much bigger, and out of production) and opted for this because it's small and simple but it does the job! Customer Review: Mmmmm Mmmmm Good
Summary: 5 Stars
During the relatively short time that I have had it, and made use of it, it is proving itself to be a wonderful addition to the other cooking equipment in my kitchen. Look forward to using it much more often.Customer Review: A Real Slow Cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Customer Review: Low setting went out
Summary: 2 Stars
It worked well until the low setting went out. I had it a little over a year. Customer Review: Great for gravy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I hate gravy boats because the gravy gets cold and no one likes cold gravy. This is a great little warmer. I like this one because it has temp controls, some models do not. I paid only $9 for it at Target, and plan to get a second one soon.
