Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot SCR500SS 5-Quart Round Manual Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: "Crock-pot" is terrible...
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this on the strength of an old crock-pot I had. This old crock-pot was still functioning when I got rid of it - I wanted something that was much easier to clean. So I bought this.
This is one of the worst purchases I've ever made. It cooks half-way decently, but the lid is made of lightweight plastic that allows steam to escape. This steam collects and eventually spills onto the counter - regardless of how much liquid is actually in the Crock-pot. Some of this liquid seeps into the area between the stoneware and the heating element, leaving massive stains on the heating element that can be easy or hard to remove depending on what you're cooking.
If you contact them about this problem, you're told that this is a design "feature". Supposedly without this, pressure could build up and cause some sort of problem if water doesn't leak all over your counter. Nevermind that other brands don't have this "feature" and that the old Crock-pots had glass lids that were heavier than the rest of the crock-pot. No matter what I said, they told me that they wouldn't help, despite my crock-pot still being under warranty. They told me that I should just clean the heating element each time if having cooked on liquid bothers me. Of course the whole reason I bought a crock-pot was to ease the hassle of cleaning it. It is infuriating that they basically refuse to accept that the crock-pot design in defective and that they are completely unwilling to do anything even when under warranty.
I'll never buy a Crock-pot again - the Hamilton Beach slow cookers seem to have excellent reviews and I'll bet they didn't "design" their slow cooker to leave a mess all over my counter.
