Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 84915 5-Quart Oblong-Shaped Slow Cooker with Tote
Customer Review: Was surprised!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this almost a year ago. I had a turkey breast that was just slightly over 5 pounds...and none of my other crockpots would fit it. So off I went to try and 1: find something that would fit it and 2: something I could AFFORD.
Found this at our local Farm and Fleet (think "Wal-Mart" for farmers! LOL) Was VERY dubious...certainly didn't look like any "crockpot" I'd seen/owned before. But it DID look versatile (use as a crockpot, ontop of stove, or in oven) and it WAS affordable (24.99 on sale - regular 29.99) So I bought it and took it home.
Yes, it is a "tad" small (the turkey breast JUST fit...but after it had started to cook, and "shrank" a little, it fit fine!)But there is just 2 of us - both adults, one elderly, so it makes more than enough for us! What I couldn't believe, was how GOOD the turkey turned out! I had become accustomed to the fact that, if it was white meat, it was "always" going to come out DRY...but NOT THIS TIME! It was the most MOIST white meat I have had in MANY years!
As I said, I've had this for almost a year now. Among other things I have done in it, are:
turkey breast
whole chicken
pork spareribs
whole roast (with carrots, potatoes, etc.)
roast shredded (for French dip sandwiches)
stew
French Onion soup
I've only used it as a "crockpot"...so I can't speak for what it's like (being used on stovetop or in oven).
I've never seen it in any other color than what I got (the matte silver). Also, one thing I've never tried (although I have been wanting to - just have never got around to it! - is using the base as a flat "grill." Have to admit, though...I haven't bothered to use the stove since I bought this! (Have started thinking about what kind of space I could "free-up" in the kitchen, if I got rid of it...but it does still come in handy for canning! LOL)
I would say...if you are cooking for 1 or 2 people, and/or are looking for something on the "space saver side," I wouldn't hesitate to get this. (In fact, I am planning on getting a 2nd one...I'm THAT happy with it!)
