West Bend 84350 W.BEND SLOW COOKER 6qt OVAL Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used many slow cookers, and I will say this one is the best you could ever use. It keeps a steady temperature, does not burn your food, and everything always comes out perfet. When you take eye round (very tough meat) and turn it into a perfect meal, then you have the best. I would reccomend this slow cooker to everyone who is looking for a large one because you can also do smaller amounts and this works also!

I want a pot that'll slow cook. I want cookware that has cool touch. I want my foods to be flavorful. I seek flavors normally lost when rushed. In the old days, stews were slow cooked in hearths and over fireplaces. Meats, veggies, and liquids slowly merged to creative substantive, satisfying dishes to support a family of hard workers. Stew is among the oldest types of food and virtually every country has a few recipes that relate to stew. Yet, beyond ingredients, time is a big factor to assure the right meld of flavors. Homemade meals are easier than they seem. Especially with the help of a West Bend Crockery Cooker. Just add the ingredients, select a temperature, and return to a delicious, ready-to-serve meal. 6-Quart capacity is p-erfect for a large, hungry family. There may even be some leftovers.Stay cool plastic handles on heating unit Removable crock doubles as a serving dish Keep warm setting maintains serving temperature See-through glass cover Recipes included in instructional booklet Westbend Warranty -1 Year

West Bend 78822 Egg and Muffin Toaster Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really like this toaster. I've not had it long but I'm very impressed with the quality. It's not cheapy looking or gimmicky.
It operates very well as just a toaster - for bagels, muffins, and bread. The slots are wide and long - big bread slices fit with no problem. You can also heat up a sausage patty but I have not done this yet. I like the Cancel button which pops the toast up and cancels any egg cooking as well.
I was looking at a similar egg-sausage-toaster unit but there were several reviews that voiced concern about the quality of the non-stick pan for the egg. Several customers complained that it peeled almost immediately. I took a leap of faith with this one since there were no reviews for it at the time, and I have not been disappointed.
The egg dish says to use a non-stick spray even though it appears to be non-stick already. I have been using margarine and it works great. The quality of the non-stick dish looks good to me - I'm not expecting it to peel or degrade unless someone starts using a knife or fork on it!
My appliances are white but I could not find this in white. But the stainless steel is beautiful and I don't mind that it doesn't match. The design itself is cool looking.
I recommend this product! A poached egg and dry toast nearly every day - and it's easy!

The stainless steel West Bend egg and muffin toaster toasts bread, english muffins, bagels or croissants at the same time it steam-poaches the egg and warms pre-cooked meat. In about four minutes, this multi-function toaster makes a delicious egg and muffin sandwich at home. Can also hard-or soft-boil up to four eggs and a time.

West Bend 84966 Versatility Oval-Shaped 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my fourth one of this style of a West Bend slow cooker in 20 or so years. I started with a four quart model. I wore it out after about 6 years of using it at least 4 or 5 times a week all year (I was a working mother then). I bought a second four quart, and passed it on three years ago to my son when he got married. I still have the six quart I purchased as a replacement (I have hidden it from my son so I can have a spare if I need it). I love this new electronic model best of all. I love being able to set the timer and know it will switch to warm when done. The older models did not do that. The digital age has arrived for my FAVORITE slow cooker of all time!! I have given away the oval standard slow cooker I had (not a West Bend). There aren't many dishes I haven't tried in this slow cooker. This is the best West Bend model yet. This model is pricey for a slow cooker, but I would purchase another one, if I found a good sale price.

Enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals even with a busy schedule thanks to this oval-shaped programmable slow cooker. Simply add ingredients to the unit's cooking pot, insert the pot into the electric base, and select the desired temperature setting--warm, low, or high. At the end of the programmed cooking time, the appliance automatically shifts to keep-warm mode, which means dinner can be ready and waiting after a long day at work or a busy day of weekend errands. The unit's 6-quart capacity nicely accommodates family-size meals or buffet-style gatherings, and its removable cooking pot can be used on the stove top or in the oven for added versatility. Even more, its base doubles as a warming base and a griddle--choose the "griddle" option from the control panel for making pancakes, eggs, hash browns, and other breakfast favorites. Additional highlights include automatic shut-off after 24 hours for safety and peace of mind, cool-touch handles, and a dishwasher-safe cooking pot and glass lid for easy cleanup. A recipe book comes included. Perfect for soups, casseroles, pot roasts, curries, and more, the slow cooker measures approximately 10 by 14-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches.

West Bend 84716 Versatility 6-Quart Oval Slo-Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I love about this product:
- Cooking times are accurate. If a recipe specifies 8 hours to cook a pot roast, that's how long it will take. I've never owned a slo-cooker that came close to this degree of accuracy, and I've owned many over the years!
- Ridiculously easy to clean (non-stick).
- The removeable cooking pot is very light-weight, and can be used in the oven, on the stove, or in the refrigerator, hence the term "versatility".
- 6 quart capacity and oval design accomodates most recipes and cuts of meat...it is ideal for me.
- I've cooked 15-20 meals of all types with this cooker and have NEVER had a problem with the results.
Why I could not give this product 5 stars:
- It does not have an on/off indicator (light), nor does it have an "off" setting - once you plug it in, it goes into a "warm" mode, even though the heat switch is turned all the way to the left.
- Speaking of switches, the one on this model appears (to me) to be a bit flimsy with no positive feedback as to whether it is on high or low or somewhere in between. No big deal, and for all I know it might last through a nuclear war, but if it ever breaks, the appliance will probably be rendered useless.
All in all, based on ease of cleaning, light-weight design, and of course consistency of results, this is the best slo-cooker I've ever owned and would, despite its price, strongly recommend this appliance to any and all interested in purchasing a slo-cooker.

West Bend 84905 5-Quart Oblong-Shaped Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best small appliance I have ever had. I have had it 20 years or so. I cook everything in it: pot roasts, pork roasts, stew, pulled pork, beans, etc. I have purchased about 8 of them over the years for wedding gifts, college graduation gifts, Xmas, etc.

There are two main reasons I love this so much. One is the versitility of the heat control. I hate crockpots because all you get is low and high! Give me a break, who cooks like that?? These have settings from 1-5, almost as many as a stove burner. I can brown my stew or roast on 5 then turn it down to 3 or halfway between 3 & 4 or 4 depending on how long I want to be away from the house or want it to cook. The base doubles as a griddle by itself. Takes up very little counter and storage space. The pot goes into the oven or on the stove if you need or want it to. The pot and lid go into the dishwasher, although I ususally just give a quick wash with hot soapy water and wipe off the base. The other reason I love it is it is small and lightweight. No heavy monster crockpots to handle, try to lift full of food and then try and wash!
I have the older model of this cooker that is 6 quarts. At the time I purchased it you had the choice of 4 or 6 qt size. After 20 years I need to replace it, although it still works perfectly, the teflon pot lining is scratched and the teflon coating on the base(griddle) is flaking. But after 20 years of using it 3-5 times a week, its certainly held up wonderfully. I am now purchasing two more, one for me and one as a wedding gift! My only regret is that they no longer make the 6 quart in this model, only the 5 qt. I would recommend it without question!! Enjoy!

West Bend 84866 6-Quart Versatility Slow Cooker with Glass Cover, Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't know why the other reviewer rated this versatile slow cooker so badly? I have used mine for over a year for roasts, whole chickens, chili, soups, etc. and all are done to perfection on "low". Sounds to me like the other reviewer had a defective one. This slow cooker really IS versatile! I have the stainless steel model, not the black aluminum one. You can slow cook all day or speed things up by using medium or high temperature settings. I will replace mine immediately if it wears out...don't know what I would do without it! I use it almost every day.

The reason this item is called Versatility, The EverydaySlow Cooker is due to the ways it can be used. With the highly polished stainless steel cooking vessel on the base - it's a slow cooker. The vessel can also be used in the oven or on top of the stove, when browning a roast to slow cook is desired. The vessel can be set in the freezer and is dishwasher safe. The base doubles as a mini grill, perfect for grilling a burger, a couple of eggs, toasted cheese sandwiches or anything else that fits. A very VERSATILE product.

West Bend 84384 4-Quart Oval-Shaped Crockery Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using various slow cookers for 40 years, and I really do like all of the little features on this one. The handles make it easy to hold, and it heats evenly.
I chose it for several reasons.
1) It is oval. Oval pots allow longer pieces of meat for cooking.
2) Four Quarts is a good size for preparing larger dishes for groups. (I go to a lot of potlucks).
3) At the same time, I can still make smaller dishes in it without worrying
4) It is simple. It has 3 settings, keep warm, low, and high. No fancy electronics to worry about.
When my last "Crockpot" broke, I debated between several sizes. I even looked at the fancy ones that had three sizes of pots included. After comparing prices, I settled on this 4-quart cooker. I figured I could buy it PLUS a small one and still have money left over. Add that to the fact that if I bought two different sizes with the base, I could have two different things cooking at the same time, and this was a real bargain.
If you haven't used a slow cooker before, depending on what you include, you may need to stir occasionally to keep it from burning/sticking. And, meats cook faster than vegies - so save your rare roasts for the oven - slow cookers are for well-done meat that is so tender it falls off the bone. Do check a recipe book or an online recipe before you start, and you'll be a lot happier.

West Bend 86628 Automatic Egg Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 86628 works just fine BUT I bought it based on West Bend's advertized wattage rating of 600W--thinking more is better. In actuality the unit is only rated at 350W. West Bend claims they're changing the misinformation on their site today.
My previous Egg Cooker was an Oster and it was OK.
I prefer my new 86628 because: It's all plastic so the egg holder won't discolor as did the Oster. The water measuring cup allows exact measures not like some others where you add water to the base. The egg holder allows you to remove all the eggs at once and imerse in cooling water so you don't have to handle each egg separately. The 'done' signal is LOUD. I like the positive Off/On switch. Others shut off the unit when cooking is finished. In my opinion that kind of temperature sensitive switching is a weakness. Which is what happened to my Oster. Although the water measuring instructions don't make sence to me, ie: more eggs need less water, I followed the instructions for soft boiling 4 and the eggs were perfect. And AMAZON.com is an excellent way to buy merchandise.

West Bend 84915 5-Quart Oblong-Shaped Slow Cooker with Tote Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third West Bend Slow Cooker in 20 years. I got rid of my oldest one and now have two I use regularly. I ordered this one because it had a carrier tote; I take my slow cooker with me to covered-dish dinners and church socials. This is a nice extra feature, but I would have bought a West Bend anyway; I like the adjustable heat-not just high, medium and low. I use my slow cookers to thaw and reheat frozen foods,cook turkey breasts, and make soups.You can put ingredients in the cooker in the morning and come home to a hot dinner. This is a good product, easy to clean and can be used on the stove top or even in the freezer. I highly recommend it.
