Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CSC-650 6-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker
Customer Review: Just set it and forget it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the BMW of slow cookers! It's big and formidable with a sturdy ceramic pot insert that transitions to the table nicely.
The sleek, brushed aluminum housing gives it a professional-quality look that will compliment or upgrade any kitchen counter to restaurant-chef status. And such a deal from Amazon! Take it from me, I spent hours researching this product and this is the best place to buy it - especially with free shipping and (when) available discount coupons (do a Google search).
Before writing this review, I wanted to test it out on a variety of recipes. All came out flawless and tasty. This is not a hot pot - on the low or high setting, this unit heats up slowly and evenly - not like some pots I've had that actually scorch food. Using the built-in timer, it actually lowers itself to keep warm only when the cooking phase is done, so handy when the subway is delayed.
What is it about slow-cooking? So many recipes today are geared towards fast-cooking and preparation, that you lose the finesse of the food. The Cuisinart allows meats, veggies, herbs and liquids to slowly mingle, macerate and mellow into a satisfying home-cooked experience. Just throw the ingredients in the crock, set the timer, and when you get home the place is filled with a lovely aroma and your dinner is ready to enjoy.
And talk about big, at 6.5 quarts; this baby can handle a family of five and big cuts of meat easily. A see-through glass lid, rubber non-skid feet and (what a joy!) retractable power cord makes it a portable wonder! If you have a small oven or stove this pot will double your cooking space. Comes with a rack for cooking desserts and soufflés and a spiral-bound cookbook that gets you started - although I have found great more detailed crock books online at Amazon.
If you're thinking about a slow-cooker, look no further. Cuisinart simply makes the best kitchen stuff, and this is no exception, top-notch for those who spend their money wisely...and the price...exceptional. Delivery? I got it in two days with free shipping before Christmas without even needing it quickly.
