West Bend Versatility Slow Cooker Large Capacity Non-stick Cooking Vessel & Variable Temperature Heating Base Includes Travel Lid and Storage Bag, Range and Oven-Safe Cooking Pot, 5-Quart, Silver

EDIT: Received Dec 6, 2022 and died May 16, 2023 - 5 months of minimal use and it's on its way to the city dump! Was great while it worked; but, will replace with another brand.I've had many slow cookers and have never been satisfied until now. So far, this one has made perfect Chicken and Dumplings, a great Pot Roast as well as Ham Hocks and beans and never had a problem with temperature control maintaining a perfect slow boil.The air fryer did a great job with chicken bites and fries - crispy, not soggy.Finally, I have to brag about the grill, it's been used to grill New York Strip steaks to perfection several times and chicken thighs perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside.At 79 years old. I have finally found the perfect Slow Cooker for me and would definitely recommend it.

Purchased this for my mother. It’s a great purchase for someone who may have issues with a heavy crockpot. This is light weight and easy to use, no complicated buttons. Very simple and also versatile. The grill works well also. Easy to clean and a good size, for family meals.

Bought for my wife. She loved everything about it the last one we had for 42 years. Great product. Use it 1-2 times a week. It looked great. A little taller than our old one which I liked. Love the rectangle shape and the lid makes a good seal when cooking. It fits good for the amount of counter space I have. Love the different heat settings. Would recommend it.

Just the right size and excellent job on pork roasts and rump roasts. I love that I could put its plastic lid on top to travel, too.The griddle is a terrific extra to have and makes yummy pancakes.

We had a slow cooker which, after several years of service, reached the end of its life.It was a West Bend as well.We bought this in January 2024.Out of the box, everything seemed great.My wife likes to use a slow cooker when she makes soup, peas and such.Foods that have a lot of liquids.In a month, she probably uses it three times, at most.So we're talking about less than 24 uses total for this appliance.After the first month, the non stick coating began to bubble.Keep in mind, soups, peas and such.The hottest the inside bottom of this pan, or whatever you call it, COULD get, is 212°F (100°C.)Why is the coating bubbling?It really shouldn't be.Maybe it's the thermal difference between the heating portion, across the 3mm (maybe 3, could be less) thickness of the pan?Today, she made some soup.I did the dishes tonight. It was literally one coffee mug, two soup bowls, and a bit of silverware.I didn't soak anything. I just washed them.The "pan" was the last thing I washed.As I am rinsing it out, the edge of the pan cut my thumb.My hands hadn't spent any time in dishwater to soften the skin, making them easier to be cut.When I say "cut," I'm not talking about a cut that gushes blood.It's very similar to a paper cut.To be fair, if something happens to have the potential to cut, it finds me. It's just been that way my whole life.My parents went to plastic cups and Correll plates and bowls because they got tired of having to take me to the ER for stitches.When I was in college, I worked restaurant. My nickname was "Mr. Ginsu," because I had to get stitches so very many times at that job.Anyhow, the bottom line is, I definitely would not recommend buying this appliance.

My sister has one that my Mother had since the 70's and it still works great. The one I ordered though had the non-stick coating start coming off within 6 months, even though I only use silicon implements in it. West Bend sent a new pan (good customer service) and it has lasted until now. I bought this in 2023, they replaced the pan near the end of 2023. So, the non-stick coating that they are using now isn't nearly as tough. It's a shame, because otherwise it's a great cooker. Out of warranty now, so I'll have to look at replacing it.

This works so well and doubles as a griddle. The storage/carry bag is convenient too. The nonstick is really nonstick and makes cleanup easy. The heat control is spot on too.

Perfect smaller stew pot, braise, & stew from one lighter pot. Better for little old lady’s getting on in yrs. Appearance is spot on, value for money & easier to clean. One control for 3 different modes, fantastic.

I've bought a few for gifts, as this one was also, and I own one myself.. Worth the money- big time!!! It's not heavy and awkward like huge crockpots are, it's so lightweight that if you drop it, the worst that will happen is a chip in the enamel perhaps or tiny dent, not a huge shattered ceramic/clay pot all shattered all over the floor or breaking your toes if they happen to be in the way- ouch! Cleanup a snap with the non stick interior.Great for anyone with limited hand strength/arthritic issues. The shape makes it easy to slide on a fridge shelf taking up way less space than an old crock put. Plenty of room inside and they even come a bit larger if you want a roomier one. I can't say enough positive things about it, and they seem to last forever. What more can I say!

I havent had a chance to use this yet. I need it for tomorrow. The instruction booklet says the may smell funny the first few times you use it so today I put water in it to cook to rid of the smell. On high it actually boiled the water. It's beautifully built compared to my old one however it's missing a rubber gasket on the handle of the lid so water gets under it but no big deal I think.

We had a problem with the first one; the teflon liner quickly started flaking and coming off. the replacement is better.

We have used this product less than 10 times. Unfortunately the finish has peeled and started bubbling. The unit also clicks very loud when on warm so is annoying. Product looked nice and transports well when bringing a dish to a party but with finish peeling it’s just not worth the risk.

Love this , perfect for 2 people would buy again I like that it’s not heavy easy to store in cupboard .Im going to purchase another for trailer
