Crock-Pot (SCR151) 1.5-Quart Round Manual Slow Cooker Reviews

I bought this to replace my 1.5-Quart Rival slow cooker, which has a very cracked plastic lid. I use my slow cooker to cook oatmeal overnight every work day (5 times/week). I like the fact that the Crock-Pot is the same size and that it has a glass lid. However, it cooked some of the oatmeal such that it stuck to one side, but left the bulk of it very watery. From my perspective, this was a complete failure to produce my desired outcome. As such, I am babying the Rival lid as it works!

as we are over 80 everything simple is good enough

I have been using a timer that plugs into the outlet. I set the time to begin cooking and to stop cooking. I mostly use it for oatmeal. At night, I place the oats and water into the crockpot. I set the timer to turn on at 4 am and off at 6 am. The oatmeal is ready when I get up.

Was thrilled to find this small 1.5 qt as the size is perfect for 2 people. However, if you fix a meal first thing in the morning to use for dinner at 5-6 PM, it's going to be dried out and basically inedible. Since it has no way to set the temperature, the all day cooking is by far too long. Works good if you want something done in 3-4 hours.

Purchase of item was to be a gift for Niece's going to College present/gift. Since it was a venture not needed by her, i decided to keep and use it for myself at a later time such as Winter.
