Customer Rating: 
Summary: Very poor quality 2009-01-04
Comment: Poor quality all around. My first experience was removing the unit from the box - The handles on the sides of the unit are plastic, coated with a metal plating to give them that polished look, almost like a thick layer of metal foil. The foil on one the handles had lifted and shredded somehow so that I was left with a deep cut on reaching in to pick it up. Anxious to give the slow cooker a try while the wound healed, the pot cracked on the first use. As others have noted, this $35 replacement part (almost half the price of the unit) is not covered by warranty. This is my first and last experience with Cuisinart. Garbage.

Summary: Quite pleased 2008-12-26
Comment: I have to say I was a little concerned about trying out a 4 quart pot. But, since we generally cook only for the 2 of us it made a lot of sense. So, after reading through the reviews I decided to try out the cuisinart slow cooker and I have to say that I am quite happy. The heat is fairly constant but there is quite a big difference between high and low settings (a medium would be good as opposed to the even lower simmer.) It is easy to clean and to store (especially with the way the electric cord rolls back up. Altogether a nice little package.

Summary: Great for boiled food 2008-12-08
Comment: Avoid the high setting unless you want boiled food. I made split pea soup and got carrot & pea mush. I had a couple of stalks of celery in there, but they are nowhere to be found now. The carrots have the consistency of paste. I measured the gruel with a Thermapen and sure enough it was 212 degrees.
Stay with the low setting, watch it like a hawk, and you'll be fine - but you can do that with a pot on the stove and save yourself $70.00+.

Summary: Best Chicken Stock 2008-11-23
Comment: 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.

Summary: Really Nice Slow Cooker 2008-10-30
Comment: 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.
