[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product!!! It works great for my family of six. It's an all in one pot crock pot. I don't have to brown my meat in another pan then transfer into the crock pot I can just put the crock pot on the stove. I would recommend for anyone that cooks. It's a time saver. I received this product as a sample to review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is now my new favorite in my slow cooker collection! I love the fact that I was able to brown the meat I was cooking in the same pot that it slow cooked in. I think this added a lot of flavor as well. This crock pot was easy to use and looks nice sitting on my countertop as well. The crock also washes nicely and has a good finish to it. Disclaimer: I received this product as a sample to review.

Great New Slow-Cooker!

This slow cooker was a breeze to use. I like to make many meals where I need to brown the meat first and then put all the ingredients into the slow cooker. It was so convenient to be able to brown the roast on the stove using the same pot that I could then put in the crock-pot. The timer was great to have as it allowed me to set a custom time within half hour increments - no more 2, 4, 6, or 8 hour settings. I also liked that the crockpot automatically switched to warm when the timer was up. At the end of the meal, I left the remaining food in the crock pot, put it in the fridge overnight and used the warm function to have lunch the next day. Very easy to use. Clean up was easy as well. Only one dish to clean! No more cleaning separate pans.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The crockpot was great. Used it to make a pot roast one day and a fruit cocktail cake another day. The stovetop feature is really cool. Usually I skip any browning or searing steps in crockpot recipes. It definitely makes a difference when you sear the pot roast. This crockpot made it so easy and the recipe was delicious. And, surprisingly, clean up was a breeze. Would definitely recommend. (I received this crock-pot as a sample to review.)
Pros: wonderful!! three steps in one!!, none

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was very easy to use. The ability to use the stove top pot makes it easier to prepare a meal, with less mess. I like that the pot is light weight, making it much easier to clean. It has made me want to prepare meals with a the slow cooker more often. I would definitely recommend this product to someone.

A Great Modern Slow Cooker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As I unpacked the slow cooker from the box, I was pleasantly surprised by its modern appearance. The stainless steel look and digital display make this look like no slow cooker I’ve owned before. The product feels very durable and high-quality as you remove it from the packaging. I was expecting to see a traditional round slow cooker, but this one was oblong in shape. It made it easier to fit on my counter, so I was thankful for that. Using the product was a breeze. My first recipe called for 7-8 hours on the low setting. I used the push buttons and watched the digital number increase. That was it. I thought maybe I’d have to press a button in order for the cooking to begin, but there is no “start” button. As soon as you increase the time, it begins cooking. This unit has a high setting for true slow cooking, or a low setting for faster cooking. Once the timer runs out, the unit switches over to warm mode. I don’t recall hearing an audible tone or beep letting me know that cooking had finished, which would be a nice bonus. We weren’t ready to eat for another hour after cooking had finished, and the warm setting kept the food nice and warm. The food was delicious and cooked as anticipated. Cleanup was easy. The nonstick surface helped food slide right off with soap and water. I noticed that a bit of condensation had built up in a small pocket in the lid. There’s an empty pocket between the handle and glass that can’t be accessed in order to clean it. I’m not concerned about food or liquid getting in there, but I would like to be able to wipe away the condensation on my own. Letting it cool and air dry did the trick, but I really wish I could access that part of the lid. Overall, I’m very happy with the product. It worked as anticipated. The high quality and modern design were appealing. The only areas of improvement I see are an audible timer alert, and a slight redesign of the lid. I’m still quite happy to use my slow cooker even without those changes. I received this product as a sample to review.

Love the non stick surface

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try the stove top nonstick crockpot. I used it for three different meals. First I used the crock to cook a chocolate lava cake at work for my co-workers. The nonstick surface was great for this cake. I make this at least once a month and it turned out better than it ever has. It usually sticks to the bottom and side but not in my new crockpot. I also loved the timer feature. I didn't not have to set a separate timer to remind me to check my cake. I also used it to make taco soup and fresh green beans with smoked sausage. It was easy to use the crock on the stove to brown the meat. The only thing I do not care for is the lid. It needs a rubber seal. I scratched the edge of the non-stick surface with the lid the first time I used it. I highly recommend this product. Easy to use and easy to cleanup. I received this product as a sample to review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this crockpot! It cooks evenly and the extra features makes it standout against the competition. The timer works very well. I don't have to worry about my food over cooking because I let the slow cooker run too long. I like how when the time runs out, it automatically switches to "warm." Another feature, which is the best part, in my opinion is the nonstick surface. The worst part of cooking with a crockpot is he cleanup. Cleanup is a breeze with this new surface. I've been using crockpot liners, but have been worried about the chemicals from the plastic leeching into my food. The only con regarding this surface, is that it scratches easily. You will want to use only plastic utensils to prevent damaging the surface. The last feature is the metal bottom which allows you to brown your meat using the crockpot! The drippings left from browning the meat is the most flavorable part and now you don't lose any of it as you might have when transferring the meat from the pan to the crockpot. Overall, this crockpot is a winner.
