Disappointed
I am very dissapointed in my new West Bend Slow Cooker. I had a West Bend Cooker like the one I ordered for over 30 years. I loved it and ;used it often. The heating element finally gave out, I wanted one just like my old one but it is not. The handels on my old one never got hot and you could hold on to it, the new one does not have the same handels. The heating elemnt does not get as hot. I was making beef stew last week and it did not even cook on high for 8 hours, I had to fix someting else for dinner and start cooking it again the next day.So Sorry
west bend slow cooker
Husband has one from years ago that cooks like a champ, this one the top doesn't fit tight making cook time a bit longer. Can't find them in a store anywhere.
Great product, but not a substitute for crockery style cooker
However, if you are looking for a slow cooker to set before work and leave cooking all day, I would not recommend this one. I have tried to use crockery cooker recipes in it, but it cooks too fast for that, even on the low setting. If you are looking for a product that will cook a meal in a few hours (as opposed to all day) then this product is more suited to you. Be aware, however, that because all the heat comes from the base instead of being distributed throughout the pot (as in crockery cookers), an unturned piece of meat will generally overcook on the bottom side if left for more than 6 hours.
An Old Favorite
The dial goes from 1 to 5, and I mostly cook on 2 for the whole day - up to 8 hours. It is perfect. You cannot go wrong with this cooker. I hope to have this one for another 15 years!
