Query: West Bend Delivers Again!

I bought this Slow Cooker to replace the one by West Bend that I have had for 18 years (hard to believe I had it that long). I prefer this type of slow cooker instead of a tradational Crockpot. Traditional Crockpots are heavy and food tends to stick to the stoneware insert. I like that when you prepare a roast for slow cooking that you that you are able to sear on the stove top and then put it on the base all in the same pot. Also, when your dinner is cooked you can take the pot off the base and put it on the table for serving. The teflon lined slow cooker makes for an easy clean up too! I don't usually use the bottom piece separetly as a griddle...I think it is too small for french toast or pancakes if you are cooking for a family.
