Worth every penny

August 24, 2018

I love this slow cooker.
1) I love the fact that it is programmable and easy to do so.
2) I love that the lid has a locking feature. If you have ever taken an older crock pot and had it tip over in your car you will know what I'm talking about.
3) Love the locking feature so much because with it, the steam stays even because there is a gasket around the lid. Sorry had to mention it twice for this purpose.

This cooker does the job, it is the size ...

January 24, 2017

This cooker does the job, it is the size I needed and the locking handles are childproof. Unfortunately, the unit I have for about 2 months and used about 5 times, is already coming apart. One of the rubber stands fell out and now the cooker tips over to one side. The locking handles attached to the glass lids are completely loose, I tried to tighten them but no help. I requested a new lid or hardware to repair. I am waiting for a response from seller. This is the second cooker I ordered, the first one had no issues but I dropped the ceramic bowl and it shattered. I'll update this review by the end of the week depending on seller's response.

Does what you expect. Locking lid keeps it from spilling in car during transport. Timer is nice to switch to lower setting after food should be done.

Great product, and even better customer service.

We received this product and the pot itself looked as we hoped. However, the latching handles on the lid were broken. Knowing these things can unintentionally happen, I contacted the seller and described the broken piece. To my amazement, they immediately offered to send a replacement lid at no charge. I was really impressed by their excellent customer service, and highly recommend buying from this seller in the future. Thank you so much to this seller for a lovely product and even better attentiveness to their customers. We will cook many delicious meals in our slow cooker!

The safe handles and lid give me that kind of peace of mind I didn't get from other slow cooker. And this kind involves my kid. She is the most curious person I know. I leave a pot somewhere and she checks what's inside even if it's still on a stove top. It's crazy. I'd like to avoid having her bathed with hot content just because the lid and handles of a slow cooker were poorly made.

Excellent Slow Cooker, Glad I bought it.

This is the best slow cooker I've ever purchased. Mainly because of it's size. I need a large one like this because of the recipes I make. Also, the 20 hour function makes using it very convenient. I'm not always running back to reset the timers. Makes it very easy to make 48 hour bone broth recipes. It is very sturdy, I love the locking lid which keeps the liquid from evaporating during long cooking times, and not having to add more water keeps the broth from becoming 'watered' down. It is well work the money.

I am thoroughly pleased with the item. Other items like this are not big enough for my use and they are too light, and, if you are not careful the contents will scorch.
I will use it extensively for my crock pot cooking!!!

Worked great - Easy to use - Large capacity - Easy to clean

October 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have been a long time user of slow cooker and crockpots for years. I have also over cooker many a dinner in one of these pots. I purchased this one because of the auto shut off feature and let me tell you - it is wonderful! I didn't know what I was missing!

Pros: large capacity - I use my slow cooker every weekend making food for the week and this cooker delivers not only dinner that night but 4-6 mason jars of left overs for the freezer. Sturdy on the counter - this is important as I have a busy kitchen and more than once the lid to my other cooker went flying or the cooker slid across the counter, this one stays put. Locked on lid - I love this feature for family and guests as it kept everyone out of the pot and made it comfortable to move if needed. Easy to use front panel - this was great! I could see the readout from across the room and knew exactly where it was in the process - I kept smelling the air to see if it was doing its job, it was spot on!

Cons: Large capacity means heavy insert. This wasn't something I thought about when I purchased it. It wasn't too heavy just more that I was used to with my older and smaller model. It worried me a bit for cleaning but I ran it through my dishwasher with no problem! Storage: it didn't fit in the storage spot for my old smaller pot so had to come up with a new spot - not a huge deal, again just not something I thought about when I purchased it. The locking lid: this could just be me but I found the lid awkward to take off. There was not an issue putting it back on but I couldn't take the lid off with one hand I had to use both - again probably just me as I am always doing five things at once!

**One thing I really like about the locking lid mechanism was when I took the lid off I could set it in the sink one end down and the other end "hooked" on the edge of the sink by the locking piece. So the condensation from cooking drained in the sink and the lid didn't slide all over the place.

Magic Mill did it again

I'm always impressed with Magic Mill products. One can't go wrong with it. Like with this slow cooker that is one of the best Magic Mill products I've owned. And it comes with 20-hour timer so you know your slow cooking is still in process even after a lot of hours.
