I received my crock pot soon after my purchase. I was a bit skeptical about the product because I do not know the name very well. Although to my surprise it turned out to be a wonderful investment. It was cold up here in the New England states and I made a nice warm home cooked meal with the slow cooker. Rotisserie Chicken and some chili among other things. The clean up was a breeze and to minimize usage of another bowl the inside container can go right into your fridge. I know next time when I need a cooking utensil I will go to Kalorik through Amazon.com.
5/5 for stainless steel presentation, secure lid and handles for safety
5/5 for shipping
5/5 for kalorik: creating a great reliable product

It was our first slow cooker and having nothing to compare it to, we just worked around it and compensated with adding more liquid so that the meat wouldn't dry out during long cook times.

Pot roast is a favorite and I used the same cuts and size roast in the 5Qt Crock-Pot as I did in the 7Qt Kalorik. Crock-Pot definitely ran much hotter in the low setting; whereas the Kalorik temp was visibly lower. Also our Crock-Pot had an LCD panel which looked useful initially, but you could never just flip it into the warm setting like...Read more
