 too hot for overnight oatmeal October 3, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I purchased this to make overnight oatmeal (1 cup steel-cut oats to 4 cups water). The heat is too high in this slow cooker so the oatmeal on the bottom and sides was cooked hard and brown, like a taco shell. I'm going to look for a small slow cooker with more than one temperature setting.
 Great for Indian cooking for dhals, biriyani & more June 25, 2006

A friend gave this as a gift to me, and I did not use it for over 6 months. Once I did, I was pleasantly surprised at how well this slow cooker cooks lentils. I put the lentils with the water into the pot in the morning, and have cooked lentils for dinner.
I've put my pressure cooker away since this cooks without any mess.
It works well for Indian sambar, rasam, chole, vegetable curries and biriyani.
Indian cooking can be messy and the slow cooker helps to keep the kitchen very clean and without splatters.
not a good crockpot January 1, 2006
I have been using crockpots and cooking successfully in them for years, and this was my third. I wanted a small crock for morning cereal and dips. This crockpot has a major defect - no heat settings. It is either on or off. There is no low vs high. Hence my first attempt at cereal making resulting in the cereal burning on the bottom of the crock, and on the sides. What a surprise! This crock is being returned and I am going to try the Proctor Silex 1.5, which has three temp settings for a similar price.
Uniquely Useful Little Crockpot -- consider its possibilities! December 8, 2005
73 out of 73 found this review helpful
This is a lovely little crockpot whose small size makes it uniquely useful for a number of purposes. I've owned larger crockpots for a couple decades (currently a 6 quart Rival Smartcooker is my mainstay for preparing family-size meals), but the larger pots take up a significant amount of counter space & aren't at all useful for heating or re-heating small quantities. This little crockpot, however, is perfect for heating or re-heating 2-4 servings of soup or stew. I originally bought it, however, because it is *absolutely perfect* for making hot cereal on cold mornings, especially those hot cereals that require more than a few minutes of cooking in the microwave or on the stovetop, such as steel-cut oatmeal (try the nutty goodness of traditional steel-cut oatmeal once (also available here at Amazon) & you're unlikely ever to return to instant or "quick cook" oatmeal again). There is nothing nicer on a cold winter morning than walking into the kitchen & knowing that a healthy, delicious hot breakfast is awaiting you. From mid-October to late-March, virtually every night I prepare my entire family's hot breakfast cereal for the next morning in this little crockpot, with no more effort than is required to make single serving of instant oatmeal or cream of wheat in the microwave.
Other uses we've discovered: it's perfect for making & serving hot mulled cider; keeping hot dips, gravies & warm sauces & syrups heated on the buffet; as a substitute fondue pot; & for heating soup at times when hovering over a stovetop or near a microwave would be incovenient (how nice to come inside from raking leaves or shoveling snow to a hot bowl of soup!). For single people or couples who prefer not to cook in large quantities or apartment dwellers with limited storage space, this crockpot would be a very acceptable slow cooker, especially if used in conjunction with Rival's inexpensive SP100-PDQ Smart-Part Module (also sold on Amazon as of the date of this review), which provides the same timed-cooking controls that are integrated with many of Rival's larger, more expensive crockpots.
The energy used is minimal, too -- only 80 watts -- & the stoneware bowl fits easily in the dishwasher, as does the lid, for very convenient clean-up.
