When looking to purchase a slow cooker, you need to factor in many different variables before making a decision to buy. The following are things you should look for in a slow cooker.
Price and Features
All-Clad 99009
The cookers vary in price from the All Clad Model 99009 for 9.95, to the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Model for . There are many makes and models in between, but what drives the price are the features you may or may not need. High end models come with programmable cooking timers. For instance, you can put everything in the slow cooker and have it turn on at a set time in the future, usually up to 24 hours. Basic models just have an on and off switch.
More expensive models are generally bigger and hold more capacity, usually up to 6.5 quarts. Smaller slow cookers usually hold up to 2.0 to 3 quarts; these are cheaper to purchase. If you are a single person, it may not make sense to buy such a large cooker. More expensive models have various temperature settings, which are helpful in keeping food warm after it has been thoroughly cooked. Low end models only have one temperature setting, which may make the food too hot to eat right away.
The best slow cooker basically depends on the individual's wants and needs. Is the cooker pleasing to look at? This is often a factor that has a huge influence in the purchase decision. Does it come in stainless steel or at least in various colors that will accentuate the kitchen? How large is it, will it take up significant countertop space? High end models come in different varieties and finishes. Low end models usually will only be available in one color.
How heavy is the unit? This is a factor as cumbersome heavy slow cookers are difficult to use. Lifting up heavy ceramic inlays may be problematic for older people. How often are you going to use the unit? This should definitely be a huge factor in in the purchase decision. The best slow cooker isn't worth 0 if you use it once every few years. The more you use an appliance, the more you'd want to spend on quality and features.
Cheaper units may not last more than 3-5 years, but you could buy 4 units over twenty years before getting the value out of a 0 model used infrequently.
