Crock-Pot SCVI600B-SS 6-Quart Premium VersaWare Slow Cooker, Gold

Over the last 3 months, my husband and I researched crockpots- it had become such a joke actually....who spends this much time researching crockpots! So we finally decided to purchase this crockpot- so glad we did!.

I love the versatility of this crock - for example, we made pot roast the other night. I browned the meat in the crock on my gas stove, then took it off the stove and put it right into the steel (pot) container and proceeded to cook directly in the pot for 6 hours - savoring all of the beef browning bits etc.

Afterwards, I put the crock and the lid right into the fridge.

Wow, this crock pot is amazing! After reading reviews on all of the new versions out there, I decided on this one (even though it was more expensive than the others I was considering). Boy am I glad I did!
This one cooks with the proper heat and did not smell like plastic, like some reviews claimed.
It is extremely versatile: I have used it in the microwave and have sautéed in it on the stovetop as well. It makes cooking an entire meal in one pot very easy and tasty. And I pop it in the dishwasher when I'm done---SO EASY!
This crock pot is definitely worth the money!

I like the versitility of this. Being able to brown on stove top with the difusser, then slow cook, saves time and work. Does a great job and the timer is very handy when it needs to stop before you get home. Handles on this model are much better, broke the others off right away, these are much stronger.
