Customer Ratings & Reviews

Features: My favorite feature of this slow cooker is that the insert can be used on your stove top (gas or electric) or in the oven. I sautéed onions and seared a roast on the stovetop before putting it in the slow cooker base...then when it was done I removed the roast and took all the juices in the insert and put it on the stove to make the gravy. It certainly saves on clean up after cooking a big meal. The insert is even suitable for an induction plate. It is 5.3 quarts and just fit a 5 lb roast nicely with a few potatoes and carrots. The flat, outside bottom of this insert (that would make contact with your induction element) is 6 1/2" in diameter. Another great feature: The lid is glass! And the glass lid has a rubbery gasket around its circumference! The lid stays in place and doesn’t shift around like my old one does and it holds in the steam better for even quicker cooking. This might be the reason for the odd flare on toward the top. The condensation/juices easily run back down into the pot. OF NOTE: The lid is not oven safe, so be sure to remove it before putting it in the oven. Style: It is a very attractive with its outer shape, style and color. Timer: You can use the slow cooker with or without setting the timer, but if you use the timer it will automatically go to the warm setting when the timer runs out. It will stay on warm for 4 hours and then turn off, unless you turn it off before that. I could have used this feature when my crock pot was forgotten for too long and spilled out and off the counter and onto the floor. The cooking pot has about the thickness of a good quality pan. It's not thick ceramic or anything like that and it will scratch. It actually reminds me of my Calphalon cookware set as far as the thickness and the texture of the non-stick coating. I've never had a slow cooker with this type of insert. I feel like it cooked a bit faster than my old one, and just better overall. I did use non-stick spray when cooking and everything literally just rinsed right off the pan. Clean up is so easy and so much nicer than the ceramic inserts and easier to handle as well because it is not thick and bulky or heavy. It’s very easy to use and clean up was a breeze. What I like the most is the overall look. This is one of those appliances I would not mind leaving out on the counter it just looks that nice. Quick Review: The display is easy to read. Controls are simple. Lid is snug with a comfortable handle. The liner is light by itself, but it has its own handles and that makes the difference on handling it for clean up, etc. It couldn't be easier to clean. It seems to have very even heat. The insert can be used independently on a stovetop or in the oven for prepping any meal you put it in the slow cooker insert for searing, sautee, etc. Recommendation: I love this slow cooker and all the uniqueness that it comes with. It is highly recommended.

Just used this cooker about a month ago. I browned my beef added all my vegetables and let my stew slow cook all day. Loved this cooker. You can do everything in I pot.

I like the slow cooker, the ability to sear on the stove is nice. The only thing I do not like is the shape being round instead of oval and it is small. You just can't get a large cut in it with out cutting it up and layering in the crock. Much preferred my old larger oval shape, hopefully Calphalon will make one someday.

I decided to take the plunge and get a new slow cooker so that I can make homemade bone broth. This will do the trick. It seems well built, and the LED is nice and bright.

We have not been able to use this product yet. I trust calphalon and the sleek look of the slow cooker. I am confident this will work wonders!

I got it on sale, def worth the money. I like that you can use the container to sear the meats before you slow cook it.

works great, easy to use. i love the digital readout on this and the amount of time you can set is more precise then my previous one

I was looking for a slow cooker that doesn’t look old fashion. This slow cooker is satisfactory on both. I am happy with the purchase.

I Purchased their products many times over the years for myself and for gifts for others. I’ve never been let down yet

Bought it on sale. Best slow cooker I ever used. You can transfer metal pot from stove to cooker. Cleans up nice.

Replaced with the oblong and thought it would be a problem----NOT! the non tick makes it even better. Would buy it again!

I have a problem with buying crockpots. No lie I have 8. But this one is the bomb. I got it for 40 dollars on deal if the day.

Deal of the day purchase. Excellent pricing and even better xmas gifts. I wish I purchased more of these.

I love that it’s metal not ceramic so you can sear your meats or throw in the oven. And if you drop it won’t crack.

I have used this thing many of times to slow cook my meal and it was a great investment. Dinner made easy. :)

My wife loves this cooker. Works great just don't use metal utensils like I did because it will get scratched.

We love this slow cooker! It’s actually holds more than it looks. You can’t go wrong with this purchase.

Very attractive finish and materials. Temperature and timer settings work well. Happy with purchase overall.

We replaced our old slow cooker with this one and we were not disappointed. It is definitely worth the money.

this slow cooker has multiple features! the container can be used on stove to sear food, then put back into cooker for slow timed cooking! I cooked a pulled pork in this cooker and made meat just fall apart!
