Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

Imagine having all your meals ready when you come home each day! This 6-quart cooking pot goes from heating/serving to stovetop, oven, refrigerator, freezer or dishwasher. It holds a whole chicken, ham or roast and offers low, medium and high settings for roasting or slow cooking, plus a keep warm setting for serving. The durable cooking pot has a premium nonstick (non-teflon) interior and stainless steel handles; a glass cover allows easy viewing as sauces simmer and meats sizzle. The handy lift-out rack lets you remove roasts and meat with ease. Cooking pot, cover and rack are all dishwasher-safe. Base is heat-resistant.
Amazon.com Review

Versatile and convenient, this 6-quart pot can be used on the stovetop for cooking soup or stew, go into the oven for roasting a chicken or baking a casserole, and placed on its 210-watt heating base for slow-cooking a pot roast or keeping food warm while serving. For serving, the heating base's temperature control has a keep-warm setting. Medium and high settings permit cooking on the base. The oval aluminum pot, colored black like its heating base for contemporary style, has a nonstick interior and measures 12 inches long by 8-1/2 inches wide, ample for a chicken, ham, or roast beef. A lift-out rack is included for keeping food off the bottom so it can be thoroughly browned during roasting. The pot's glass lid permits cooking to be monitored without releasing heat, and the lid's knob stays cool on the stovetop. For easy cleanup, the pot, lid, and rack are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

Great for the frequent user - Reviewed on 2009-01-07

I've broken three of the ceramic crock pots in the past year though heavy use. This one is not going to break, and it cooks wonderfully. Lightweight and easy to clean. Love the many ways to use the various pieces, it would be great for a small kitchen. It was entirely worth the additional cost to upgrade reliability and function.
"Keep Warm" setting too low; otherwise a good product - Reviewed on 2008-12-22

I have another brand of slow cooker with automatic controls, timer, etc., and I like it. However, it has a very large and heavy crockery insert that is difficult to handle and wash. A friend has one of these West Bend 6-qt. cookers and likes it. I studied the reviews as well as looking carefully at my friend's model. Both the light weight and the non-stick surface convinced me to order my own. I have used it several times now -- more often than I would use my super-duper one, which is awkward and heavy. I'm keeping that one for big jobs only. This West Bend one's a breeze to use and clean. My only negative: the "Keep Warm" setting is too cool. Other than that, it's a winner, even if you have to pull the plug to shut it off. Good product at a good price.
Everyone Should Own One - Reviewed on 2008-12-22

The first West Bend slow cooker I purchased was way back in the 1960's at Montgomery Ward. I literally wore it out. Since, I have purchased two at garage sales and am still using the last one that I bought which was already very well used. In the 1990's I purchased one for my daughter at K-Mart. We use them on a continuous basis. That is why I have purchased two new ones. I feel anyone who uses these cookers should have two. I have a crock pot also but do not use it. I cook so many different things in them. The West Bend slow cooker is the best I have ever found and do not know what I would do without one.

The West Bend Versatility is exactly as I knew it would be. True temperature and the fact that it goes from stove top to refrigerator is wonderful. The lid is secure, not glued on and the variable temperature is outstanding. After 4 West Bend slow cookers, I'm a believer.
Control Cannot be Trusted - Reviewed on 2008-10-31

I loved this crockpot when I got it. It was the second one I owned. First one lasted for years. The control on this one goes up on it's own, like another reviewer said. So, you can't go away and leave it, or everything will be cooked on high. I tried putting a spoon under the grooves of the control and blocking the spoon with a heavy plate, but sometimes it slips and if you're not careful, you food will go (on it's own) to high and overcook. West Bend really needs to work on the control switch. I think I'm going to try the West Bend 5 quart model and see if that is made any better.
