 Best Slow Cooker I've Ever Had May 23, 2006

I don't know why the other reviewer rated this versatile slow cooker so badly? I have used mine for over a year for roasts, whole chickens, chili, soups, etc. and all are done to perfection on "low". Sounds to me like the other reviewer had a defective one. This slow cooker really IS versatile! I have the stainless steel model, not the black aluminum one. You can slow cook all day or speed things up by using medium or high temperature settings. I will replace mine immediately if it wears out...don't know what I would do without it! I use it almost every day.

After having an "ol reliable" Crock Pot that was given to me by my mom (it's about 20 years old), I decided to splurge on something new, After a recommendation by a cooking magazine, I decided to give this a shot. After several tries of cooking roasts, pork chops, and beef stew (which were always done to perfection in the other pot) they were not done after 10-12 hours on High.
I'm glad I didn't get rid of my old pot (and glad I kept the receipt -I'm returning it.)

We like our cooker because it is larger than our older alumimum one and we can put the pan with cover in the oven as well as browning the food in the pan on the stovetop.
Though we are careful and only use nylon and silicone stirring utinsels, we have a couple of scratches already in the teflon coating. Even so, we would recommend this cooker.
Not usable on glass top stove January 4, 2007

This item does NOT work with a glass top stove. As it heats up, for browning meat, the bottom rounds out and rocks on the glass top. Only a small portion of the bottom makes contact with the glass top stove. I called West Bend customer service and this is a problem they are addressing.
Not bad but I preferred the black version May 12, 2007

This is my second Versatility, the first one being the basic black version. I ordered the second one because the nonstick coating on mine was coming off after quite a lot of use. The only problem with this one is that the bottom of the pan tends to warp when used on the stovetop. Also, I don't need the grill feature. Otherwise I'd recommend this line of slow cookers if you want to brown meat straight in the pan, something I prefer. There is another make of versatile cooker out there, but it costs in the order of $250 so this is a good low cost alternative.
