I bought this one after America's Test Kitchen gave it high marks. I love it.

Take a look at the slow cookers review published in August. 2010 Cook's Illustrated which you ca read on line.

I also bought this crockpot after reading the reviews on America's Test Kitchen but I should have paid more attention to the reviews here on Amazon. I should have gone with the high end model they recommended. I am back to using an Original Crockpot.

Dear Nina Athanasakos,Thank you for your recent inquiry. You can use the Elite 1.5 Quart Mini Slow Cooker to make anything that you would with any other slow cooker, as long as it fits. We hope this information has been helpful.

I have never tried to use the cooker in the way you describe. In my opinion, the machine is not designed or intended to be used as a slow cooker for an extended length of time. For such an application, you would be better off with an appliance designed for slow cooking such as a crock pot. I would not leave the BergHoff unattended for a long period of time, especially when temperature control is important. Glen

I believe neither of those options would be wise or healthy for the crock. Better to warm the slow cooker in advance of what you wish to cook, with an amount of water in it.

If it did, it was just a few (I have had my original crock pot recipe book for 35 years...). You can use any slow cooker recipe. Found tons on the internet. However, this one runs a little hotter than my old ones. It does have a "keep warm" option on it. I'm really happy with it.

Crock Pot is actually the brand name of the original slow cooker (still made today). Since the patents ran out many years ago on the design and function, many companies now make slow cookers, but they can't call them a crock pot due to legal issues that may arise.

Hi, I have the Hamilton Beach 33140 oval slow cooker. It doesn't come with recipes, but it does have guidelines to use the slow cooker. If you follow the exact guidelines, your food cooks faster than stated, so check after 2 hours on high. Enjoy.

http://www.crock-pot.com/slow-cookers/classic-slow-cookers/crock-pot-manual-slow-cooker-silver/SCR300-SS.html Manufacturers website, the recipe book that comes with it is nothing more then several cheap recipes, and a parts list, the website can probably send you one if you need it.

Did some web checkng and am not finding anything. A site called replacements.com used to carry. Perhaps it's time to buy an updated model. I know--this is a great slow cooker. Don't know why they stopped making them. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

That's a very good question, you might get on Emeril's web site and see if you can request one, I can't imagine anyone wanting to steal the booklet, it wasn't all that great. I would imagine Emeril has cook books with many more recipes than the booklet which comes packaged with the slow cooker. Good luck "bon appetit"

Just use it in place of the regular lid. It can be used for any food that does not have to be pressure cooked, so slow cooking is fine. I have a new slow cooker which has a lid similar to this and it also has a small hole in the lid. Both work just fine. An added benefit is the glass lid allows you to view the food and it allows you to remove the lid quickly if you have to add a recipe ingredient towards the end of cooking as some recipes require.

This item is actually a crockpot not a slow cooker. Usually a removable insert makes it a crockpot.

I am sorry Dennis, I have not used the rice cooker yet. Slow cooker and pressure cooker are tops!

There's a recipe site called RecipeGoldmine that has a section for Crockpots and a sub category called Crockettes that has recipes for small slow cookers like this. I think you'll like it.

Because of the circle of heat, this will brown meat during the cooking process (without searing) even at lower temperatures; a slow cooker does not. My preference is to use a roaster for meat, stews, and soups because of the depth of flavor, and a slow cooker mainly for keeping food warm. If I had to choose between one or the other, my choice would be the roaster.
