Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot SCVI600B-SS 6-Quart Premium VersaWare Slow Cooker, Gold
Customer Review: Excellent crock pot
Summary: 5 Stars
Used it a hand full of times now, and it works as advertised. It might be a *bit* more pricey than other options, but the timer built into it and the ability to throw the pot on the stove for browning your meat makes it all worth it. Seems nice and solidly built, too. Highly recommended!Customer Review: Excellent crock pot
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this crock pot. Goes to warming mode after it is done. Cleans up well. Great for a busy familyCustomer Review: Excellent slow cooker, especially if you love pot roast
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I got this, been cooking up pot roasts almost every 2 weeks. My wife's been complaining I haven't cooked up any new dishes for a while. Does a great job, you can cook it right over the stove and move it right to the pot afterwards. The meat comes out tender and tasty, of course you have to put the right ingrediants as well. Most importantly, this gives the busy working family a nice turn on and forget. No need to check, no need to fuss, just turn it on, set the timer, when you back home from work, your food is hot & ready to eat.
Cleaning is easy, the pot might be a bit heavy for a girl, but for guys, it's easy. The portions are very big, I can cook it once and it'll last at least 2-3 days.
Price - this is the only complaint, a day after I bought it on AMZN, saw it in Costco for $[...]. Because the cooker does such a great job, even at $[...], it's well worth it.
Customer Review: Expensive, but fragile
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this slow cooker because my current one was both too small and ran too hot. I have found the temp settings on this cooker to be perfect. While others love the ability to brown their meat directly in this cooker by using the included diffuser, I didn't find it to work so great. The bottom of the pot is not flat. The middle is higher than the sides, so the oil runs to the corners.
My biggest grip is that the stoneware top is fragile. While I was picking it up to stir the soup I was making, it accidentally slipped and chipped the top. It is still functional and it was my fault for letting the top fall against the pot, but I find this to be a problem. The impact was not very hard. I've never chipped any other covers to my other pots or pans. For the price, I'd hope for a cover made of less delicate material.
Otherwise, the cooker does exactly what it is supposed to. Capacity is just as advertised. The dials are great. I love the timer and WARM setting. The handles are great. I just do not like the cover.
I'm giving it two stars because it is so expensive. For the price, I'd expect a simple slow cooker to have no faults. I'd find a less costly, more rugged model if I could do it all over again.
I may call the company and see if they're willing to give me a replacement cover. If so, I'll update this review.
Customer Review: Fantastic Crockpot and a Great Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this pot quite a few times since I purchased it, and it is everything that it stated in the description. I am extremely pleased with this slow cooker as I am able to time exactly when I want my dinner ready. It washes very easily, but I do use cooking spray. I like that it is versatile, and I can brown meat and carmelize onions right on my stove top. It is a very healthy way to create meals. I love it!
