West Bend 84496 6-Quart Slow Cooker — 


I've been using this slow cooker for over a year. After trying out several others, this has been the best. I love that the program timer increases by single hours (starting at 4 for low and 2 for high) and it cooks quite evenly. Typically, I'll set it up at 8 am for dinner at 5:30 pm, I have found that I need to reduce the cooking time for chicken if it will stay on the warm function for more than a couple of hours to avoid dryness. I've done everything from stews to beans, it doesn't disappoint! Another recommendation is not to put the lid in the dishwasher with the heated dry function; that made the plastic knob crack but it's an easy $2 fix if you replace it with a ceramic or metal drawer/cabinet pull knob from your local hardware store.
