That's all the difference I see, and mine never leaves home, so that didn't interest me. AMAZING slow cooker! Do yourself a favor! Blessings, Barbara

I have not tried this in a slow cooker, but it is a great idea! I would think it would work well as long as it fits well in the bottom of the cooker.

No. I have been trying myself. The product has been discontinued. For me the pin which moves depending on the amount of pressure fell thru the lid in addition to the sliding aspecting has become nearly impossible. I am shopping for a new pressure/slow cooker. I have been in contact with the company they are not able to replace items.

Yes I did. Works well, last week cooked a 25 lb turkey in 5 1/2 hours. It didn't use much propane. The turkey was really juicy and the fat drains into a pan on the bottom of the cooker which the turkey does not sit in the fat. Cleaning the unit is a little time consuming but not that bad.

No. This slow cooker is manual, so it must be physically turned on and off.

Hi Nicole, did you have success in ordering the bowl for this slow cooker? My grandson pulled mine off the shelf and it broke into a million pieces, so I

Sorry. I have never used slow cooking, cause I do not know whar slow cooking is for.

Absolutely. I've owned different slow cookers over the years but I always come back to West Bend. It is without a doubt the best slow cooker I've ever owned.

I bought it because of the same review. Compared to my previous slow cooker...medium on the new one corresponded to my low and high is high. The low setting is very low. For instance I can put bean soup on the night before and it can go all night and most of the day on low and I still have to move it to medium for a few hours. Hope this helps

I have not used it as a slow cooker yet but I have read of people using it as such. The highest setting is warm so I'm not quite sure if it would get hot enough to completely cook meat (unless you let it cook in it ALL DAY but a side dish would probably be fine. I've only used it to keep things warm so far such as dips and taco meat. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance on this.

Check the recipe book that comes with the Slow Cooker. This is not a programmable unit. There are many helpful suggestions for all kinds of wonderful things.

Karen, I think so, although I've never cooked those particular items in this slow cooker. However, I have cooked a bone-in 3 lb. pork shoulder roast in it with no problem

I have had no problems with this. I have used the sauté several times and the pressure cooker and slow cooker settings. Have not burned anything. Perhaps not enough water was used?

Glad I saw your question. I just cooked a great dinner in it as a slow cooker and it worked fine. The first time I've used it that way. Usually I use it as a roaster on a much higher temperature and it's great for soups, stews, and the like. I LOVE mine - and recently replaced one I had had for 20 years because it is a staple at my house. It's my favorite gift for new brides and of course, all my family members have one.
