Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot SCR151-WG 1-1/2-Quart Round-Shaped Manual Slow Cooker, White
Customer Review: Wish it had settings
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this little slow cooker and it is my favorite one. I have a six quart (which is way too big for a family of two), a 2 1/5 quart (Which I love for everyday meals) and my favorite, this one. I love this slow cooker because it is a perfect amount for two to three bowls of soup or slow cooked beans of any kind. I love this one especially for tacos or burritos, I slow cook pinto beans with red pepper, onions and garlic, umm hmm. If you love beans or cooking in small amounts, get this one.
Although, I wish it had a high setting but either way I still love it. However if this will be your one and only slow cooker and you have a larger family get one slightly bigger like a 2 or a 2 1/2 slow cooker. I wouldn't get the six quart unless you like lots of leftovers and you have a family of at least 4.
Customer Review: great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was surprised by what poor reviews most of the crock pots received on amazon.com, but I decided to buy this little one when I saw it at Target for $9.99. Figured even if it didn't work well, that's not much money to lose! Well, this is my first crock pot and I love it. I'm glad there's one this small. I usually fill it only half way and then have leftovers, but it could probably feed a family of four without leftovers. A lot of reviews for other crock pots said that the lids often fit poorly, but the lid on mine is perfect. I've used it seven times so far and everything has been wonderful! I particularly like the applesauce recipe that comes with the crock pot, it makes the best applesauce ever and it's nice to just peel them the night before and wake up to hot applesauce (also good over ice cream). Keep in mind that the crock pot only has the low heat setting, but I haven't had any trouble cooking recipes that call for the high setting in here. Just takes a bit longer. Also, it's not tough at all to convert recipes for larger crocks to fit this one. Mine doesn't have any problem with cooking to hot, maybe it was just the other reviewer's crock pot. I would recommend this to anyone, it's well worth the money!Customer Review: not a good crockpot
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using crockpots and cooking successfully in them for years, and this was my third. I wanted a small crock for morning cereal and dips. This crockpot has a major defect - no heat settings. It is either on or off. There is no low vs high. Hence my first attempt at cereal making resulting in the cereal burning on the bottom of the crock, and on the sides. What a surprise! This crock is being returned and I am going to try the Proctor Silex 1.5, which has three temp settings for a similar price.Customer Review: perfect for small whole-grain meals ready when you need them
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband gets up by 5 am and I... well, I don't! :)
I bought this unit to make hot cereal so I could offer my husband a hot breakfast without having to (painfully) alter my own sleep schedule.
This is a great size for our family of three. I fill it with water and whole grains around 9 pm. My husband takes his breakfast at 5 am and unplugs the unit. When my son and I get up around 6 or 7 am, the cereal has cooled to a perfect temperature to eat right away without exceeding the "maximum 2 hours at room temperature" timeframe for food safety.
I want to eat healthy, but I'm not an accomplished cook. This 1 1/2 qt crockpot, together with the 2 qt model I use for dinner, allows me to cook whole grains and other "real" foods without needing any great skill or time to stand by the stove. I get to play with my son while still offering him old-fashioned home cooked meals.
Customer Review: too hot for overnight oatmeal
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this to make overnight oatmeal (1 cup steel-cut oats to 4 cups water). The heat is too high in this slow cooker so the oatmeal on the bottom and sides was cooked hard and brown, like a taco shell. I'm going to look for a small slow cooker with more than one temperature setting.
