Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 84755 5-Quart Oblong Slow Cooker, WhiteCustomer Review: Light weight for arthritic hands. Summary: 5 Stars
I finally had to retire my 20+ year old 6 qt. West Bend slow cooker. It had been so easy to handle during usage and washing (I have arthritis in 6 fingers) that I wanted the same again. Although a 6 qt. capacity was no longer available I have found the 5 qt. just as satisfying. Also, with its rectangular shape instead of oval, foods like ribs fit better. The only negative thing about the one I received was that it had a bad paint chip (down to the bare metal) on the bottom.
Customer Review: Great Slow Cooker Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent slow cooker and easily goes from cooking base to table. Clean-up is a snap and it's not heavy like the traditional stoneware crocks. I prefer the oblong shape to the round slow cookers because it accommodates larger cuts of meats such as roasts. Since purchasing this item approximately three years ago, I have rarely used my other two crock pots. Convenient to use, easy to handle and clean, and less storage space than other slow cookers. A+++!
Customer Review: Oops. Nonstick interior is Teflon... Summary: 2 Stars
I don't use Teflon anymore since discovering its potential health hazards. I'm sending back my unused cooker because I didn't read the description carefully enough. Yes, the container is enamel on the outside, but I should've seen that the interior is non-stick. Also, I've recently learned that most people prefer a cooker that has the heating element all around, not just on the bottom. I'm sure this would be a very nice and attractive product but for these two issues.
Customer Review: FINALLY!!!!!!! Summary: 5 Stars
I have been hunting for this particular slow cooker, for months.. I was in every store in the area... Finally I got brave, and looked for it on the net.. and there it was!!! so I ordered it, and it was here in no time at all... I can't tell you how pleased I am.. Needless to say, I am a little old lady that is not to good with the computer.. so it took allot for me to do it.. but now that I am and "old" pro... I will not be shy the next time... Joan
Customer Review: West Bend Slow Cooker Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely enjoy this product. I use it all the time. It makes the meat taste completely different than other slow cookers. The meat taste like you cooked it in the oven, but very tender because you have cooked it slow. This is a wonderful product and I hope that West Bend does not discontinue this product. I know several other people who own one of these slow cookers and thoroughly enjoy their's also. Thank you for caring this product.
