Nice Size for One Person
This crockpot was just what I was looking for in the small size. I am a single person and I have made a small pork loin roast with sauerkraut, and a beef stew with veggies, etc. Both turned out wonderful, and allowed me to have left overs for another dinner. The only thing is that I wish the top had a snugger fit and the crockery itself was a little more oblong (it's basically round). But I really think it meets my needs perfectly. One caution...even on low it cooks very hot.
Average with poorly fitting lid
This item is a round, not oval as it appears in the picture, 2.5 qt crock pot with removable insert. On first plugging it in the heating elements gave a fairly strong burn smell. According to the included booklet, this will disappear in time and is not dangerous or even unusual.
It has two settings, low and high, like all or most basic slow cookers. So far, so good.
My problem with the unit is the poorly fitting lid. It does not sit flat on the insert. It wobbles and has gaps around the rim, where heat and moisture can escape during cooking, instead of sitting flat on the pot like a lid normally does.
Granted, the pot was not an expensive item but I expect better quality/workmanship from the company that invented slow cookers, other than that it works but seems to cook a little hot, even on the low setting.
perfect for two
Love my Crock-Pots! This one is just the right size for two-three people. The kitchen doesn't get hot, the electric bill doesn't go up and dinner is ready.
Fabulous invention.
