I must say it cooks a lot faster than my old crock pot. I've only used it twice, once on a pork roast and once on chicken breasts. Each time I cooked about 5 pounds of meat and it was done in under 5 hours using the temperature probe and low heat setting. The pork roast finished in exactly 4 hours and the chicken took 4.5 hours.
One interesting tidbit is that the USDA says poultry should cook until it is 165 degrees F. but the directions that come with this cooker says 180 F when using the temperature probe. I cooked the chicken to 170 F and saw no pink left in the middle of the breasts. I thaw them in the refrigerator, trim them and rinse. I put them in whole and coat with BBQ sauce. Set and forget. Later they are tender and seem done to me. They came out as good as what I used to produce in 7 hours cooking in the older pot. I really hate white chicken meat when it dries out.
On my old 4.5 quart slow cooker, I had no temperature probe, never used a thermometer and saw pink at times. Never got sick. Maybe I was lucky. I always cooked them for 7 hours on low and I had it loaded! Most of the recipes called for 7 hours, but were not intended for 5 to 6 pounds of meat. Lucky me. -:)
I never thought much about it until the last time I tried to use the old cooker it seemed to be taking forever to heat up. I checked out this old one using 2 quarts of water at 90 degrees, on low for two hours. It only got to 140 degrees, which is too low. Should be 165 to be safe.
I don't know why but I used 3 quarts of water on the "Set & Forget" before I cooked in it. I started at 92 degrees on low and in 2 hours it was up to 154 degrees. If it had been 2 quarts of water, I suspect the temperature would have been well above the 165 degrees we were looking for.
Part of the reason I bought this slow cooker is because of the digital readout and temperature probe. I hate to say it is impossible to burn your food. (someone will figure a way) But using the probe and of course with a little liquid in the pot, it appears that one would have to try, unless their unit is defective.
THE MAIN REASON I purchased this slow cooker is because it seemed to have more 5 star reviews than any other slow cooker I could find on the Internet.
Programming is very easy. Just RTFM, (read the fine manual). Hey, I'm a guy, but I read manuals. -:)
I can see how using this cooker could be a problem for people who work and have to leave if they have power outages. Even just short ones. Yes, it will loose it's memory and shut off. That is in the design. So far the companies (apparently) do not see the need to produce a more expensive product with a battery back-up memory / timer. So if you have power problems, then go with a less expensive cooker that will come right back on when the power comes back. This is the only problem I see with the "Set & Forget".
If you stay you can always just re-program it when the power comes back on. That is normally my case. But at least you don't have to baby sit slow cookers. Set & Forget.... Nice name...
Although I have not really experimented with the meat probe, for my purposes I could not ask for a better slow-cooker. I have made some truly amazing meals for friends and family alike - everything from pulled pork that literally fell off the bone, ribs that were so tender the bone actually started to crumble a bit, beans, lasagna, veggie stew and even a peach tapioca dessert!
The programming options are a breeze. Turn it on and select time. Hit enter. Select high or low. Hit enter. Viola, you are slow-cooking.
At 6-quarts, it is generously sized but handles small batches of whatever it is you are preparing with equal grace. The lid rests easily on the soft gasket when not locked down, and snaps tightly down with the side clips, but has never been difficult to remove or lock into place.
I absolutely love the serving spoon with its oh-so-handy spot built into the lid handle - no need to hunt for your ladle! The interior container and brushed metal exterior clean up ridiculously well and with virtually no effort, no matter what you throw at it. Cooled, melted sugar sitting for hours? Cheese and grease and beans? No problem!
Yes, this -is- a big slow-cooker, however it has a fairly efficient footprint. For the size, this it not a bulky, awkward thing to lug about or have to store. I live in an apartment and keep it right on the counter without any issue.
I live in Louisiana, and we occasionally get some pretty interesting winds and rainstorms and have lost power three times mid-cook. Each time, with the power returning up to fifteen minutes after loss, I have turned the pot back on and it remembered the settings and time left.
I love this thing!
