Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SA PJ 33116 Oval Slow Cooker
Customer Review: Great little cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price this is a wonderful little cooker. I had bought the "Not Your Mothers Slow Cooker for Two", and decided to get this little 1.5 quart oval cooker as my first crock pot. I live by myself and didn't want to make huge portions, but didn't want to invest a ton of $$$ if I wound up not using the pot often.
I use it at least 2-3 a week for about a month now, and I love it!
Construction:
The machine is well built for the money, although I do believe in "you get what you pay for". The crock insert does have a couple pin-holes in the glaze around the top, and cosmetic imperfections on the outside (hidden when in the slow cooker). This doesn't effect how it cooks however so I did not take off any stars. The heating element itself is a tad larger than the insert, meaning the insert can shift around a bit. I have noticed if you don't center the insert inside, you can create a hotspot. I have only noticed this when cooking oatmeal however, and its only minor. The warm setting and indicator light are nice additions. The inidcator light can be a little difficult to see for tall people. Its very easy to clean and takes up little space. I have not burned anything, and the lid has a rubber ring which is really nice.
Cooking:
I have cooked terriffic irish oatmeal. This size is perfect for 2 chicken breasts or two 1" pork chops or 1lb of pork tenderloin. Definately the oval shap is way better than the round for getting meat to fit well. I have used this machine for even lasanga and BBQ pulled pork and it came out terrific. This is a great size for 1-2 people. I am investing however in a 3.5qt cooker for soups and chili's. This is a great starter pot for single people. As far as cooking times go, this unit seems to be done on the early side of the recommended ranges, however I never felt like it was overdone. Although I have not tried it yet, this is a great size for warming dips, appetizers and cooking risotto/side dishes.
