Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad 99009 Stainless-Steel 6-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker
Customer Review: CHANGE MY RATING FROM 4 STARS TO 0 STARS.....READ MY EDITED REVIEW AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ONE
Summary: 4 Stars
9/30/07 .... IT DIED ... SEE BELOW .....I've had this for about a month and have used it about 4 or 5 times. The only fault that I have noticed is that it cooks hotter than the average slow cooker. Recipes that call for 6-8 hours, are done in 4 to 4.5 hours. Recipes that call for 8-9 hours, cook in maybe 6 hours. That would make it difficult to use if you plan to be out of the house for awhile or use it overnight. The average slow cooker cooks at 185 degrees on low and 195-200 on high, I contacted All-Clad and they told me that this one is about 200 on low and 240 on high. I have only used the low setting. It takes a little watching towards the end, to make sure that meat doesn't turn to mush, but other than that, I do like the results. For someone who works or has a busy schedule, this cooker would probably be limited to use on weekends or holiday days off.
It is heavy and has a large footprint. It is 6.5 quarts and a whole chicken fits in nicely. The black ceramic insert cleans easily, but is large and you have to be very careful not to bang it on the sides of your sink. I put a plastic sink mat on the bottom of my sink before I wash it, and I am very very careful.
The recipe book that comes with it is not much use - only 5 recipes if I remember correctly. I called All-Clad and they were very very nice, but they had no extra recipes to send me. At $150.00 and from a company like All-Clad, I would expect much more. I've made Osso Bucco, Beef Bourguignonne, Tarragon Chicken, Chicken Caccatore (sp), etc.. ... and loved them all. My husband hated 'comfort' foods, complaining that the meat had no taste. He has been eating and loving the recipes that I've made. One of the books I'm using, suggested stirring after the first two hours - to keep the sauce from getting too watery and it gives a cook pleasure to be part of the cooking process.
You may be asking why I like it so much since I have listed a few negatives - the main thing that I LOVE, is that once the ingredients are in the cooker I can walk away for at least two hours and forget about it. I have always been a stove top slow food cooker - stews, soups, sauces etc.. and I don't have to check the All-Clad regularly to make sure that it isn't cooking too high, and I don't have to regularly adjust the flame, as I always have to do with long stove top cooking. The cooker simmers the entire time. I stir it twice during the entire cooking time.
I gave it four stars because of the faster cooking time, (can't leave the house for long) and the chinzy recipe book, and the high "All-Clad" price.
As an aside, I never liked the old cooker recipes, canned mushroom soup, dump and cook. The recipes I have been using call for prep time, browing, sauteeing onions and veggies, etc... The prep time is basically the same as when you cook everything on the stove. The advance prep work is well worth it, it really brings out the flavor of the ingredients. I love to cook and by stirring and browing the meat, etc,,, I feel that I am doing the cooking, not the cooker. I also recommend making things the day before, refrigerating overnight, and then reheating them the next night. That makes a big difference in the end (eating) result.
IT DIED ..... 9/27/07 ...
I bought it last month, and had used it 5 or 6 times with great results. The other night I had difficulty getting it to start - weird things happened on the LCD screen and I was unable to set the temp and get it going. I played around with it and _finally_ got it started. Last night I tried to start it again, and had the same problems, but finally got it to work. Once it started, both times, it worked fine.
I set it for 4 hours, but after it automatically switched to warm, I decided that my beef burgandy still needed another 30-45 minutes. I shut it off and tried to reset it for another 4 hours (the minimum) and then planned to shut it off in 30-45 mintues when it was done. It refused to start - NOTHING - it is KAPUT. I pulled the plug, etc.. to no avail. I had to put it in my dutch oven and finish cooking it on the stove.
Considering the cost and the good reputation of All Clad, I am soooooo disappointed. I called Customer Service at All Clad this morning and was told by the rep that 1 out of 5 electronic appliances fail!!!! I think she was referring to appliances in general. Maybe they should have stayed away from plugs!
FYI.......The customer rep that I spoke to a few weeks ago about the high temp on LOW, told me that LOW IS 200 degrees. The rep today told me that LOW is 215 degrees, HIGH is 240 and WARM is 160.
Fortunately I bought this at Bed & Bath, so I can return it in person, rather than having to pay the postage, mailing it back to the seller and waiting for a credit. I've decided not to get a replacement, I don't think that I will ever be able to trust this model again.
After reading rave reviews on Amazon and several other sites, I just ordered a Hamilton Beach Stay/Go non-programable cooker - $29.00 plus shipping and tax. I think that I will try low tech this time. I had to order online from Target as they do not sell this model in their stores. Hopefully it will work out fine and I don't have to go through the hassle of returning it by mail. I just received my order of five slow cooker books from Amazon, so at least I'll have something to read while waiting for delivery of the new cooker. Keep your fingers crossed - I am.
