Amazon.com Review:
Versatile and convenient, this 6-quart pot can be used on thestovetop for cooking soup or stew, go into the oven for roasting achicken or baking a casserole, and placed on its 210-watt heating basefor slow-cooking a pot roast or keeping food warm while serving. Forserving, the heating base's temperature control has a keep-warmsetting. Medium and high settings permit cooking on the base. The ovalaluminum pot, colored black like its heating base for contemporarystyle, has a nonstick interior and measures 12 inches long by 8-1/2inches wide, ample for a chicken, ham, or roast beef. A lift-out rackis included for keeping food off the bottom so it can be thoroughlybrowned during roasting. The pot's glass lid permits cooking to bemonitored without releasing heat, and the lid's knob stays cool on thestovetop. For easy cleanup, the pot, lid, and rack are dishwasher-safe.--Fred Brack

Rating: - "Keep Warm" setting too low; otherwise a good product
I have another brand of slow cooker with automatic controls, timer, etc., and I like it. However, it has a very large and heavy crockery insert that is difficult to handle and wash. A friend has one of these West Bend 6-qt. cookers and likes it. I studied the reviews as well as looking carefully at my friend's model. Both the light weight and the non-stick surface convinced me to order my own. I have used it several times now -- more often than I would use my super-duper one, which is awkward and ... Read More
Rating:  - Everyone Should Own One
The first West Bend slow cooker I purchased was way back in the 1960's at Montgomery Ward.I literally wore it out.Since, I have purchased two at garage sales and am still using the last one that I bought which was already very well used.In the 1990's I purchased one for my daughter at K-Mart.We use them on a continuous basis.That is why I have purchased two new ones.I feel anyone who uses these cookers should have two.I have a crock pot also but do not use it.I cook so many different ...

Rating: - Outstanding Versatility
The West Bend Versatility is exactly as I knew it would be.True temperature and the fact that it goes from stove top to refrigerator is wonderful.The lid is secure, not glued on and the variable temperature is outstanding. After 4 West Bend slow cookers, I'm a believer.
Rating:  - Control Cannot be Trusted
I loved this crockpot when I got it.It was the second one I owned. First one lasted for years.The control on this one goes up on it's own, like another reviewer said.So, you can't go away and leave it, or everything will be cooked on high.I tried putting a spoon under the grooves of the control and blocking the spoon with a heavy plate, but sometimes it slips and if you're not careful, you food will go (on it's own) to high and overcook.West Bend really needs to work on the control switch. ...

Rating:  - Wish it actually cooked
I agree this is technically an attractive piece, presumably quite versatile, however, the primary purpose of a slow cooker should be to cook. This does not.The highest setting after hours barely reached above 200 degrees. My first effort was a "stewed" chicken type of dish.After 6 hours, it was still largely raw. If you read several slow cooker recipe books, it seems the underlying concept of the slow cooker is to surround the food with heat - thus the typical cooker is a crock insert inside ... Read More
