I ordered this to use when boondocking(solar) or plugged into shore power.
I have owned a 1.5 qt and a 3 qt slow cooker in the past but did not wish to carry 2 separate units in in my RV. My 6 qt has been gone for quite sometime as I only found it practical for family use.
This slow cooker is the perfect cooker with the the perfect two sizes and shapes of crocks to prepare the recipes in Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two: For the Small Slow Cooker.
The author suggests an oval shaped slow cooker for more versatility esp. when cooking things like pork chops, chicken breasts ,etc. The oval shape accomodates the items being placed on top side by side instead of stacking the pieces. This slow cooker acomplishes that for both sizes of crocks (the cookbook offers recipes for 1.5 Qt and 3 Qt slowcookers) for small households.
The Crockpot SCBAG Travel Bag for 7-Quart Slow Cookers acommodates the entire slow cooker set up perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised by the perfect fit.
Being able to nest both inner crocks and store them in the cooking unit makes for a space saving unit.
The Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two: For the Small Slow Cooker and the slow cooker are great for small households, rvers, dorm rooms, empty nesters, as well as apartment dwellers.
GREAT SELLER!
I could not believe how fast the unit arrived from the seller. It was also well packaged for protection. This great service without charging for shipping. |
This is the one

I spent hours looking at slow cookers and reading reviews and finally decided on this one and I'm so glad I did. It has an oval
shape which is said to be very useful when cooking meats. Rather than having a pile, you can spread out the pieces so they are not
one on top of the other. This cooker is wider, not taller which works well.
It is fabulous that there are 2 cooking pans as for smaller things (my usual) I only need the 2 quarts and if I want to
make soups or anything with lots of veggies, I can use the 4 quart, which is a very decent size. The 2 quart one is fine
for several pieces of meat and a couple of cut up potatoes on top. I thought I would want a big cooker (5 quarts +) but fortunately
someone reminded me of how big they would be and that when using these cookers, the recommendation is to fill it
at least 1/2 way, which for a big cooker would be hard. They also take up a lot of space, which this smaller, oval shaped one does not.
The other thing I really like is that they are made of stoneware, super easy to clean and SAFE, not like anything with
non-stick coating. I've really enjoyed clean up so easy it may as well have been non-stick. Every recipe I've tried says
to oil the pan and I've done so but even place not oiled never required any effort to clean. And the pans are heavy, solid
cooking pans.
This is really a simple but quality appliance & I'm so glad I chose this one. |
Great little cooker... great service, plus free shipping ! WOW !

| Awesome product, I love it. I was able to get rid of my old crock pots, one small and one large, and just replace them with this crock pot that has 2 different sized bowls that remove for easy cleaning and serving, I am very happy with this! |
