Customers are mixed about the size of the slow cooker. Some mention that it's generously sized, perfect for most recipes, and a pretty big unit. That said, others say that it seems too big for their meals, the ceramic insert is huge, and the lid is somewhat smaller than the corresponding inner edge of the ceramic.

My first experience with a slow cooker! Recipe included  :)
5 Stars
My first experience with a slow cooker! Recipe included :)
Slow cookers never really interested me. I guess everyone I have known who used one was a bad cook, so I kind of felt slow cookers were for people who can't cook. Also, it seems to me like most people who use slow cookers use it as a lazy cook tool, with pre-packaged products and just throwing everything together, which to me makes the food extremely unattractive. Recently, though, I have been making lots of soups and stews, so I thought maybe it was time to consider getting a slow cooker.After lots of research, which included reading some slow cooking books and lots of reviews both on books and cookers, I decided to get this one. Of course, I was a little concerned about the issues mentioned on reviews, that the cooker shuts itself off, but I really liked the probe feature. So I made the purchase and hoped for the best. When the box arrived, it was big! I immediately thought I might not want to keep something so huge in my kitchen. Fortunately, there were actually two boxes, plus the original box it comes in, so the actual cooker wasn't as gigantic as I first thought, which was nice.Since I had read some recipes, including the ones that came in the manual, I decided to just try putting something together with what I had at home. Here's what I made:Pork Loin with Vegetables and Marsala1 1/2 lb boneless pork loin roast1 lb baby red potatoes1 lb baby carrots1 lb brussels sprouts1/2 lb red pearl onions5 garlic cloves3 slices of bacon, chopped2 tbs extra virgin olive oil2 bay leavescumincurrypowdered thymeLawry's garlic saltblack pepper1 teaspoon full of "Better Than Boullion" - beef1 cup of Marsala wine- Pat the roast dry and season it with the seasonings to taste, leave the bay leaves aside- Slice the garlic and, on a large skillet, brown the slices in the olive oil- Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon and reserve- Add the bacon to the skillet and fry the pieces until they're crunchy and all the fat has melted from the pieces, remove all the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve- Make sure the oil is hot and bring the roast to the skillet, browing all sides, but being careful so the seasonings don't get burned on the bottom of the pan (mine did)- Place the carrots on the bottom of the pot of the slow cooker, add the bay leaves, and place the browned roast on top- Lower the heat and add the peeled pearl onions to the skillet, rolling them on the pan from time to time, for about 2 to 3 minutes- Add the wine and stir, scrapping the "burnt" areas with a wooden spoon to incorporate that to the wine- Add the beef concentrate (Better Than Boullion)- Stir the contents until the concentrate has been dissolved into the liquids- Place the potatoes around the roast in the slow cooker, then pour the contents of the skillet on top of it- Sprinkle the garlic and bacon on top of everything- Turn on the slow cooker, add the lid, place the probe into the meat, making sure it sits right in the middle of it, plug the probe into the cooker, set the temperature to 160 degrees and the cooking temperature to low.- Open the cooker after about 3 to 4 hours, lift the roast and stir everything else on the bottom of the pan, then place the roast back on top, add the brussels sprouts around the roast, replace the lid and probe, and allow the cooker to finish its cycleI was pleasantly surprised with the texture of the vegetables, as well as how moist the meet was. My thought was that things would turn out more like what I get when I cook using a pressure cooker, but that is not so. The carrots didn't fall apart and had a nice, firm, texture. So did the potatoes. The brussels sprouts were a tad overcooked for me, but I like them very firm and had added them after only 2 hours of cooking, so with the adjusted time it shouldn't be an issue, and they weren't mushy.Next time, I will marinade the pork for 24 hours using all the seasonings and lemon juice prior to browning it and make sure there is no seasoning on it when I do so, this should make it look nicer. A photo of this first meal made in the cooker is being posted.It was also very nice to find out that the cooker didn't turn itself off during the cooking process. I'll keep an eye and add updates here if it starts doing that, but this first time it worked really well and I was impressed with the results. I already have a beef roast in the freezer that is the next in line to try my new toy out with. At some point, I may try to brown the meat in the grill instead of on the stove, to see if it makes a difference in flavor. I'll probably also try that using the smoker, or charcoal grill to see what happens. So many possibilities, how exciting!Regarding other things I read about the cooker, I really think that the person who had trouble closing the lid was probably doing something wrong. Some people wrote about the lid, or insert, breaking. They seem pretty sturdy to me. Of course, anything that's made out of glass or ceramic will break if you hit it hard, or if it falls from a good distance onto a hard surface. I don't really believe they will break if handled properly and with proper care. If I remember, I'll take a picture and post it here.All things considered, me like! :)Enjoy!
