Customer Reviews of West Bend 84716 Versatility 6-Quart Oval Slo-Cooker
Watch out for that non-stick coating! I purchased this slow cooker because it has such a good review from flylady.com. <
>It is a very accurate cooker but because of its nonstick surface deteriorating I rate it as a two. I cleaned and packed up this cooker in it's original packaging after every use because of the glass lid and non-stick coating. Unfortunately the lid is rimmed with metal and everytime it is placed on the cooker it rubs against it. I have had it about a year and the coating started to flake off after a few uses. So, you may ask yourself where does all that flaked off nonstick (teflon?) coating go? Well, into my family's food. If you are concern as I am-don't purchase this.
temperature settings don't work
Had high hopes for this slow cooker based on Amazon reviews, but based on my first attempt (buffalo stew) this device should be renamed "fast cooker". All four temperature settings resulted in overcooking. Even at the "keep warm" setting the stew continued to boil, so the stew turned into mush. Don't buy it!
Great, While It Lasted...
I absolutely loved this cooker when I bought it and have loved it for the entire time I've owned it until now. I bought this just over two years ago in April of 2004 and it just died this weekend in June of 2006. In the strangest of ways, too. I got up really early Sunday as I always do just to set the cooker to Low to get ready for a day long cook of 10 - 12 hours. I then went back to bed and a couple of hours later when I went to start my day I glanced at the cooker and lo and behold, the thing was on almost to High and the contents were boiling! Frustrated, I suspected the only other person in the house must have decided to "help" me cook and adjusted it. Strangely, though, my husband flat out denied touching the cooker and I was left to believe that I must have been sleepier than I thought and didn't set the cook temp correctly. Set it back to warm to slow the process way down for awhile intending to go back later and set it back to low. Went back an hour later and it was on Medium, contents rolling away. What the...?!?! Turns out the knob is moving ON IT'S OWN! Weirdest thing I've ever seen. Now, I can't just throw stuff in there and leave it for a day. I have to monitor it! Kind of defeats the concept of a slow-cooker, doesn't it? Anyway, I'm going to contact West Bend and see if I can get anything done about it, but I'm doubtful after 2 years. Is this how long we can expect things to last nowadays? Aside from it breaking down prematurely, I loved the convenience and design of this cooker. When I bought it, it was the only one of it's kind that allowed you to brown stuff in it and then transfer the same pan to the slow cooker stand - truly a one-pan meal. Now, there are other brands that have the same design so if I can't get this one fixed I will probably get another one of a different brand. Maybe that one will last longer. Is that too much to ask?
