The Little Crock Pot that Could March 24, 2008
J. Dallas Dishman (Los Angeles)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Great little slow cooker/crockpot.
The unit cooks well and evenly.
The sleek design is suitable for a permanent home on the counter (unlike my older crockpot with it's 1970's floral print, which is best hidden in the cupboard). The retractable cord is an added bonus that makes it easy to keep on the counter or store neatly on a shelf.
The digital display is great - I love being able to set the time and walk away. But, calling this a programmable unit is a bit misleading - it's equipped with a digital timer, that's where the programming ends. The only thing that kept this review from being 5 stars is the lack of a "delayed start" option, which I thought would be included on a "programmable unit". However, to be fair, that short-coming, if you can call it that, is compensated for by the "warming feature" that keeps food warm after the cooking cycle.
The 4 quart is great for a small household. However, since you technically should only cook about 3 quarts in a 4 quart unit, if you have a household of 4 or more or love to eat "left overs", I suggest you consider bumping up to the 6 quart unit. Otherwise, you may find that your regular recipes don't quite fit into the pot.
All in all, well worth the investment.

The product arrived damaged and was returned, but based on the reviews by the Cooks' Illustrated magazine(America's Test Kitchen staff), I expect good things from this particualr Cuisinart product.
Really Good Cooker With Some Minor Flaws March 11, 2008
Matthew Marlowe (San Diego, CA USA)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
good:
- elegant appearance, looks good next to all the other stainless appliances
- cooks very well, we've been using it for a few weeks now and all the meals have turned out delicious.
- controls are very well done
- auto warming function
- generally runs quiet w/o any problems
bad:
- in some circumstances, I think the lid is just too light so that 3-4hrs into a "high" heat dish that has alot of water in it, it will start to vibrate up and down and you'll hear steam coming out the top (I'm going to speak to cusinart about this, but we cook nearly all of our stuff on low so this rarely impacts us).
- we've noticed that many dishes seem to take longer to cook than they should (e.g. 8hr dish takes 9-10hrs on low). We're still monitoring to see if its a general problem or specific to the cusinart.
Great little slow cooker! March 4, 2008

I have the all clad 6.5 quart programable slow cooker and it's great, but too big for some of the recipes I cook like desserts. This Cuisinart is great when it's just me and my husband. I've made several recipes and it works good. I got rid of my old slow cookers, the only way to go is programable that switch to warm like this one and allclad's. That way if you have a recipe that calls for 6-8 hrs and you don't get home for 9+ hrs your meal hasn't turned to mush.

I bought this as a present for my husband for christmas... I wanted to get him an appliance that would set him up for success and this sure has been it! he has been anxiously cooking dinner once a week and loving that he can. he has found this to be problem free and easy to use. i recommend this product highly!
