Proctor Silex 33040 4-Quart Round Slow Cooker

Product Description:
The Proctor-Silex 4quart slow cooker is a perfect appliance for cooking and serving appetizers like meatballs and melted cheeses. The threea temperature settings allow for you to cook your meal and then keep it warm while it is served. This slow cooker is also excellent for sauces, chilis and stews.

Amazon.com Review:
Round, pure white, and cleanly devoid of decoration, this four-quart slow cooker appeals to those who like unfussy kitchen appliances. Wraparound heat ensures that meats and stews left all day to cook won't overheat in some spots and undercook in others. The four-setting dial rotates from the off position to a keep-warm function for serving, and low and high temperatures for cooking. With this versatility, chocolate fondue and cheese dips can be cooked and then kept at just the right temperature for nibbling right out of the pot. The cooker's ceramic crock, with interior dimensions of 6 by 7-1/4 inches, features flared handles which allow easy removal for table-top serving or refrigerator storage. The glass lid sheds light on the cooking process, and is domed to drip moisture back into the crock. Both the crock and lid are dishwasher-safe. From the bottom of its four feet to the top of the lid knob, the slow cooker measures 11 inches; its diameter measures 10 inches, excluding the two plastic sure-grip handles. Recipes for Hawaiian Chicken, Texas Chili Soup, Sweet and Pungent Meat Balls, and more are included in the user guide. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Happy with this purchase
It's the perfect size for my parents - big enough for two with enough left-overs to feed them both for another meal, or just right for when they're having me and my boyfriend over for dinner. So far, she's made beef stew which cooked overnight (about 7 to 8 hours on low) while she slept and produced the tastiest and most tender beef stew I've tasted in a long time; parts of the meat actually fell apart into the sauce giving it more flavor.

Also tried the Lentil and Tomato Soup from ... Read More
Rating: - Slow cooker
I have used the rival crock pots for years.The older ones are hard to clean because the pot doesn't come out.I like this one because the pot comes out to wash.It cooks hotter than the other slow cookers I have used, so have had to adjust the time.I like meat cooked in it on high and have it on an appliance timer so food is done when I get home from work.I use this almost daily during the winter on work days.Don't use it as much during summer because we grill most days. I would buy this ... Read More
Rating: - Beats Rival
I have had 2 Rival crock pots and there is a design flaw.I found out what it is that lets liquid spit and sputter from the steam and make a puddle on your counter...the lip on the top of the crock is almost level with the lid.
Now I purchased a Proctor Silex crock pot and I can see the difference. The PS has a higher ridge around the edge that holds the lid.That prevents condensation and steam from spitting out over the edge.So with the Rivals there is a design flaw - a silly little ... Read More
Rating: - Cooks Too Hot, Everything Comes Out Brown
No matter what I cook in this slow cooker, it comes out brown, tough, and overcooked.I would NOT recommend this AT ALL.Rival makes a much better line of products, and I CAN recommend those.Avoid this one at all costs.It's not even worth the $26.00 I paid for it.
Rating: - Purchased in 2003, and it's still going strong....
I am using this today to make stew.I needed to verify the size to calculate carbs for the recipe and searched through my purchases until I located it...

So, thought, as long as I was here I would add my two cents...

I received this as a premium with another appliance in November of 2003, even though I had a larger slow cooker, I thought the price was right, and it would make a nice secondary unit!

Instead, I find I use it more than the large one.
