Editor Reviews: Product Description: Crock-pot cooking has never been easier! With 200 pre-programmed recipes, as well as the option to set your own time/temperature, you will be sure to get perfect results each and every time, without a cookbook. Not only will your food be cooked to ideal consistency and flavor, but if you should happen to get stuck in a meeting or a game runs overtime, your meal will be just as delicious as if you'd been there when the cooking cyle completed. How is this possible? The Keep Warm function kicks into gear once the programmed time has elapsed. Amazon.com Review: What sets this extra-large slow cooker apart is its digital recipe box of more than 200 recipes and its ability to be programmed for cooking time and temperature. When it reaches the end of the cooking time for the recipe you've selected, it turns itself down to keep warm until it's time to serve. Its curvaceous, white design is handsome and the rubberized keypads (easy to wipe!) are easy to use. The screen where the recipes appear is at a slight upward angle, so there's no having to crouch down to read it. An audible tone lets you know when cooking time is over. And there are enough recipes in this Smart-Pot--from casseroles to soups and even some great desserts--that dinner will be anything but a routine. Clean-up is very easy; warm soapy water will do the trick. (The programmable base unit is not immersible; just use a soapy rag or cloth.) Do not use scratchy, abrasive cleaners on the chrome exterior. Glass lid is dishwasher-safe. The slow cooker measures 16-1/2 by 15 by 8 inches. Rival includes a one-year warranty against defects and comes with a detailed booklet of instructions, recipes, and tips. --Garland Withers + Read more.... |
