This review is from: Crock-Pot SCCPTP600P 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker, Polished Stainless Steel (Kitchen) Searched for hours through the various reviews and was frustrated by the mediocre ratings of really expensive and not so expensive slow cookers. Wanted away from manual controls which sometimes get turned to a setting between clicks and the cooker doesn't heat up. This one is perfect. Doesn't overheat and doesn't under heat. Timer sets with a single push of a button and after cooking there is a keep warm feature that automatically kicks in. Black crock doesn't show stains and the lid is double vented and has a gasket that works. Bought what I thought to be stainless steel but it is actually bright chrome. Makes great meals. If there is negative, the cooker is a substantial size, so make sure you have the counter space (or storage space)!! 57 of 60 people found the following review helpful: By Southern In Seattle (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Crock-Pot SCCPTP600P 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker, Polished Stainless Steel (Kitchen) My previous slow cooker was a Crock Pot manual version, but the stoneware busted while we were moving. I'm a review fanatic, and my knee jerk reaction was to start browsing the reviews on Amazon before purchasing a new one. I really liked the unique, updated look of this one, so as a Kitchen Designer - naturally I gravitate towards the aesthetics. That, combined with the high reviews, sold me on this model.
Pros: - If you have existing stainless steel appliances, and/or are looking for something a little more 'updated' - this slow cooker will look extremely sharp sitting on your counter top. I've had two of my girlfriends already ask where I got it, and even my husband commented on the cool factor compared to our last slow cooker. - I've cooked 4 meals in this so far (went a little slow cooker crazy the first week!) and all have cooked perfectly. I personally don't feel that this one runs 'too hot', which is a complaint many have about the newer...Read more 28 of 30 people found the following review helpful: By Mimi "S. Green" (Texas) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Crock-Pot SCCPTP600P 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker, Polished Stainless Steel (Kitchen) I purchased this Crock-Pot after doing a lot of research and for the money spent, I think I hit it spot on. It cooks like a dream and I would definitely put it up beside the more expensive brands. The only problem, and it's not really too much of a problem, is that it is huge. So if you don't have cabinet or pantry space in which to store it, you may have to leave it sitting on the counter. It is a little bulky (and heavy when full) to take out to pot-luck dinners also. One more thing-- I think I am going to have to be careful with the bottom of it as the four "legs" may get chipped without careful handling. They are made out of hard plastic. What I consider to be a be a big plus with this model is its retractable cord. As I have found true with all the other models, there was really no convenient method to get the cord out of the way for storing when it was not in use. This one just stores inside the base and you pull it out when ready to plug it in. If you are looking for...Read more |
