Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 84866 6-Quart Versatility Slow Cooker with Glass Cover, Stainless
Customer Review: So Far, So Very Good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to wait until I'd tried a variety of dishes prior to formulating a review. So far, I am very pleased with this cooker, and for a variety of reasons.
I always brown meat prior to potting, stewing or roasting, so the fact that this can be used on the range-top is perfect. A previous reviewer who also uses a ceramic range top had difficulty; I did not. When browning meat on the ceramic range top, I did not exceed the medium heat setting of the range. The pot bottom does tend to curve briefly from the heat, then it just pops right back to its original shape. I did the browning the night before, covered the pot and refrigerated it. Next morning before work, I put any other ingredients in, and set the cooker on low.
The cooker heats quickly, even at the Low setting, and keeps a pretty even heat throughout the cooking time. There are a number of notches from the Low to the Warm settings, so you can make adjustments. I used the rack for roasting a whole chicken, which was pretty good, and you can lift the roast out by the handles in the rack.
So far I've made spareribs, pork chops, roast chicken, chicken cacciatore, and short ribs of beef, and the only meal that was so-so was the pork chops, and I think it's because I didn't use a thicker cut of chops. I've also used the griddle base to heat tortillas, and that worked well.
The whole thing cleans up beautifully, and I like that it's lightweight. I hope that this cooker lasts, because it's been great so far!

Description of West Bend 84866 6-Quart Versatility Slow Cooker with Glass Cover, Stainless
The reason this item is called Versatility, The Everyday Slow Cooker is due to the ways it can be used. With the highly polished stainless steel cooking vessel on the base - it's a slow cooker. The vessel can also be used in the oven or on top of the stove, when browning a roast to slow cook is desired. The vessel can be set in the freezer and is dishwasher safe. The base doubles as a mini grill, perfect for grilling a burger, a couple of eggs, toasted cheese sandwiches or anything else that fits. A very VERSATILE product.Slow Cookers
