Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot SCVI600B-SS 6-Quart Premium VersaWare Slow Cooker, Gold
Customer Review: A disappointment.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this crock pot after much research, and with high hopes. I've been disappointed by it on several points. I've owned the crock pot for a little over a year and use it approximately once a week.
On the positive side, it is roomy and the oblong shape is friendly to roasts and whole poultry dishes. The controls are easy to use and bright, and the timer works consistently.
On the negative side, the temperature runs much too hot, boiling foods within a hour when on High and within several hours on Low. As a result, crock pot recipe cooking times must be adjusted, and this defeats the purpose of most crock pot cooking. For example, if you use your crock pot to cook your family's meals while you are at work, it won't work for you - recipes that traditionally require 8 hours in the crock pot will be boiling and overdone in 4 hours in this one.
The ceramic crock discolored after several uses, taking on a clouded cast. The top, which is also ceramic, developed spider-web cracks and most recently, a large bubble in the finish. Lastly, the exterior of the crock and handles become dangerously hot to the touch - you must be very careful when touching the handles and take care not to touch the metal trim on them - perhaps not the best design choice.
I have stopped using this crock pot and returned to my very old, but still reliable one. Between the heat issue and the cracking of the top, it is no longer safe to use. Overall, I do not recommend this crock pot, primarily because of the temperature issue.
