On top of that, the lid and the removable stoneware are dishwasher-safe, making your life in the kitchen much more manageable. Once you are done cooking, make sure to unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning. Then place the lid and stoneware in the dishwasher or use hot, soapy water and you’re good to go!
The Bad
While this great portable and manual slow cooker give out a high performance, there are some hurdles it needs to overcome. For instance, it cooks a bit too hot — to the point where it becomes a first hazard that can burn you. Even if you barely touch the outside with your finger, it can cause a blister. Placing a thermometer on the outside read it at 201°, so this can’t be good for homes with kids or pets.
Another aspect that customers will not find exciting about this product is how that intense heat is enough to break the cover. For those who need to work long hours, the promise of having food cooked by the time you get home is an excellent feature. However, instead of coming home to a lovely dinner, the pot’s cover shattered as it was about to be prepared on the table. Because of this, the chili that took 12 hours to cook is now ruined, and there is no dinner.
The Bottom Line
The Crock-Pot Cook & Carry 6-Quart Oval Portable Manual Slow Cooker is an excellent solution to our slow cooking needs on a budget. For under $30 you can get a high-quality slow cooker that is not only portable and can be brought outside, but it can also serve food for a party of 8 people.
