Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CSC-650 6-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker
Customer Review: Low is a HIGH boil!
Summary: 1 Stars
When will I learn? My Cuisinart bread maker was a dud, the food processor worked about 10 times before the motor died and now this... Why can't someone make an attractive appliance that also works?!
After reading other reviews, I gather that I have one with a thermostat problem since "low" brings the food to a rapid boil.. and never lowers back down. It does burn the food if there isn't a lot of liquid, like in a thick stew or roast. I will try to put it on warm and see how that goes, but I would not recommend this item whatsoever.
Customer Review: Poor Slowcooker
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a nice looking Crockpot but it has a fundamental flaw. It cooks way too fast. There is no way you can leave anything to cook for even close to the recommended time, you will have burnt food. For $99 this crockpot should be way better. I have never had a crockpot where the lid moves because the contents are boiling and this is with the unit cooking on the warm setting. Those who rate this crockpot good must either be inexperienced with crockpots or only some are defective - This is going back,Customer Review: Temps are not safe, falls apart, SHAME on Cuisinart!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought THREE of these for a buffet party. 2 would never get hot, UNSAFE holding temp for food. Afterwards, cleaning with a just a damp cloth, the writing by the indicator lights vanished. I used the only properly working one a second time, and the red plastic light cover fell out and broke on the floor. So much for 3 all lined up looking nice for a party! Too late to return, so be warned, although they look nice at first, don't fall for a 'pretty face'Customer Review: ....And another to the negative list
Summary: 1 Stars
Great looking product.
The knobs are all plastic - no metal reinforcing ring - and break easily. Going online to the Cuisinart Parts & Accessories section - I discovered they don't offer replacement knobs to buy. I have asked Cuisinart customer service to send me two sets (since I expect the next ones to break quickly too). I am hopeful their customer service quality is better than the product quality for this particular product.
Customer Review: LOVE IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally made a pot of chili that didn't overcook! I love this thing! It is very easy to clean up and very easy to use! I love the retractable cord...it makes storing it so much easier! It does, however, get really hot on the outside (I burned myself), so please be careful, especially with small children! Another plus is that it does not slide around on my counter! There is rubber on the base that keeps it put, so no accidents! LOVE IT!
