Our votes on the decisive factors for choosing the Crock-Pot Slow Cooker
Types of cooking: Rating 6.5 of 10
As for the types of cooking that can do, this Crock-Pot Slow Cooker model receives a little more than enough score. Unfortunately, it offers only the slow cooking function at the low and high preset levels, of which we do not know the exact corresponding temperature.
This electric pot is suitable for food preparation only, requiring cooking time between 2 and 10 hours, such as stewed, boiled with vegetables, and sweet and cooked fruit.
As a result, this model’s power is proportional to the slow cooking function of a small size, which is only 180 watts. As a result, there is no way to customize the cooking times and modes, except with the two levels of slow cooking. Of course, this aspect explains the low price of the product, although it is worth pointing out that the Crock-Pot Slow Cooker is still considered one of the best low-priced electric pots.
Crock-Pot Slow Cooker – Functions: Rating 6 of 10
The Crock-Pot Slow Cooker function factor also receives a sufficient score but not very high. As we have already pointed out in the previous paragraph, this model provides only two slow cooking levels: one at Low and High.
These options are selectable through a wheel on the base of the heating base, set to Off, Low and High. Remember that a simple slow cooker with no timers and displays like this require greater flexibility in preparing dishes and the help of a watch to monitor cooking times.
Structure: Rating 6.5 of 10
The Crock-Pot Slow Cooker structure of this pot is straightforward and ideal for preparing a small family recipe. Our response is positive, and the vote given is once again a long enough one.
First, you can notice the small, compact, cylindrical sectional structure. The removable inner capacity is contained and is 2.4 liters to prepare dishes up to 3 portions.
It is ideal for those with very little space in the kitchen and those who need to prepare dishes for a few people and do not want to engage with an important expense.
The model has a white metal outer structure with plastic handles, while the removable inner is ceramic, which is also white.
It can be brought to the table for small dimensions and aesthetically pleasing aesthetics by taking up little space without sacrificing a beautiful shape.
Finally, the lid is in transparent glass, as is normal in most electric pot models. This material’s transparency will allow you to observe the dishes’ cooking state without any heat dispersion due to its opening.
Practical use: Rating 7.5 of 10
Using this model’s practicality is a good score, an easy-to-use essential model that does not require any special care during the cleaning.
First of all, we clarify that the absence of the display is justified by the few available features that can adjust with a wheel control.
Any light does not signal operation on the heating base, and then we reiterate that we are facing a truly essential model.
From the security perspective, we note that this appliance warms up a lot, and we recommend always using it on an insulating floor, such as a chopping board or a very thick scrubber. It will also be necessary to use presses to move it or to lift the ceramic interior potato.
We like this slow cooker is the ease of cleaning because, given the material used and its small size, it can be washed easily in a dishwasher or hand, even if you have a tiny washbasin.
Accessories and spare parts: Rating 7.5 of 10
We attribute the pretty good score to this model as the pack of a nice recipe, which collects many traditional recipes.
We also have to point out that this model does not have any accessories, such as ladles and gauges, nor did we find the possibility of ordering any spare parts fast. However, we do not rule out that this is possible by contacting customer service.
Let’s look at the recipe more closely: this is a guide that collects 30 recipes of various kinds, from appetizer to sweet, with a specific section for ingredients and preparation, illustrative photos, and summary icons that indicate preparation times and the procedure to follow.

The Final Rating: Crock-Pot Slow Cooker
User Opinions - Crock-Pot Slow Cooker : The few feedbacks left by buyers of this slow cooker model are positive: the usefulness and the low price are emphasized above all. The recipe has also received appreciation. Instead, in the negative, we notice that this model tends to warm up a lot, so it is recommended to use it on a cutting board.
