Dangerously hot
on December 25, 2025
Posted by: Zo95
Outside of pot and handles EXTREMELY hot, to the point that anything near it melts and your fingers burn. I've had a couple crock pots in the past, all were insulated so that the outside was warm but not hot to the touch. this model seems poorly made and very dangerous especially if a person has children.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello
Thank you for taking your time to post this review.
We are sorry to hear about your experience with our Crock-Pot® Manual 4.5-Quart Slow Cooker.
All of our CrockPots are getting very warm on the outside while cooking, due to a fact that the heating element is on the sides of the unit, in order to provide even cooking every time.
However, if you think that your unit is overheating, we would like to encourage you to contact us directly so we can investigate this further. You can reach us via Contact Us form or LiveChat on our official CrockPot website.
Thank you !

Efficient way to feed the family!

Looks great, I leave mine on the countertop at all times and make great slow cooked dinners at least 3 nights a weeks. We love it! Lid fits snug never leaks. Easily feeds a family of 5+. Power cord is plenty long enough to reach from the nearest outlet. Highly recommend

Durable and easy to clean

My crock pot is a staple in the home, especially during the winter. We’ll make at least one meal in it a week and it always holds up! I will only ever buy a Crock Pot branded slow cooker because I know they’ll last. I love too that you can just throw the lid and ceramic bowl in the dishwasher for easy cleaning

This is a life changer, pop the food in set the time and go to work, clean run some errands and by time your done you have an amazing meal that took you 10 mins or less to prepare. Sleek and shiny with many different settings to set and cook. If you need more time like work set it in low and go. Easy to wash and clean up.

I love this item because i can make so many different things in it. I can turn it on and leave it alone while it does what it needs to, which is super convenient.
Cleaning is also very easy and not messy.

We use this to make easy meals like pot roast or chicken enchiladas. It makes cooking a breeze, and it's easy to use and clean. I have had my crockpot for years!
