Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot SC7500 5-Quart Round VersaWare Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: A Complete Braising Solution
Summary: 5 Stars
In the past, slow cooker/Crock Pot cookery has been plagued by overcooked, flavorless cookery. This is due to the main limitation of the crock pot, which is the fact that you cannot perform the first stage of braising which requires high heat within the crock pot itself. This often has to be done outside of the crock pot, which multiplies the number of pots and utensils to wash, and also requires the transfer of very hot food from one pot to the crockpot for the second stage of braising. The crockpot must often be preheated prior to this to avoid problems with the food cooling down inside the crockpot before it gets up to speed.
With this new system, one can go from stove top to crockpot in the same vessel. As a result, this opens up an entire galaxy of very refined food and recipes, which heretofore have only been able to be done well with cast iron cookwares such as Le Creuset which go from stovetop to oven.
Unlike your crockpot, this will not sit in the back corner of your closet gathering dust.
Description of Crock-Pot SC7500 5-Quart Round VersaWare Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel
Enjoy the Beauty and Convenience of the Rival 5 Quart Round VersaWare CrockPot/Slow CookerUnlike the heavier stoneware crocks found in many slow cookers, this one is made of lightweight Extreme Temperature Cookware (ETC), also called VersaWare, a stoneware so versatile it can be used on a stovetop, in an oven, under a broiler, and in a microwave. The lid is also made of ETC, which makes the five-quart pot ideal for storing pre-assembled foods in the freezer or refrigerator, and baking covered dishes in the oven. Of course, the round crock also sits in the slow-cooker base, an unusual cradle design featuring four metal legs with rubber feet. A single knob sets the cooker at low, high, and keep warm, a convenient setting for maintaining food at just the right serving temperature.
On the two cook settings, low and high, the pot can slow-cook a wide variety of stews, roasts, and soups, recipes for which are printed in an included 79-page recipe booklet. Meat can be braised first on the stovetop, and casseroles can be browned under the broiler just before serving. Both the base and crock feature loop-style handles for easy lifting. Measuring 9 by 13 by 10-1/2 inches, with internal dimensions of 9-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches, the slow cooker comes with a short, 32-inch cord that removes from the base for storage and lets the entire unit stand alone on a serving buffet. The crock and lid go right into the dishwasher for clean-up. Rival covers the slow cooker with a one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
