 Great for small servings and warm dips. July 28, 2010
A. Thomas (Evington, VA)
I have several sized crockpots, all in the 3-6 qt. range so I started looking for an even smaller slow cooker to use for smaller dishes and dips that had a lid. This was well reviewed and I took my chances with is despite not loving the color. I have used it three times and love it. It's easy to wash and stores a lot easier than my others because of it's much smaller size. The only thing I will say is that the week after I bought it I noticed Target had them cheaper, but Oh, well. I find having this around to store cooked foods in just to keep them warm is nice.

Temperature settings on this cooker don't seem to work. Or maybe something is wrong with mine. High never brings liquid to a boil. I put a stew on high, but 5 hours later, the potatoes and veggies are still rock hard. The broth isn't getting hot enough to cook anything.
In my large, old 1960s slow cooker, high means boiling in a few minutes. I guess I'm going to have to transfer this stew into the old cooker if I want any dinner tonight.
I like the small size and easy clean up of the 1.5 qt Proctor Silex, but maybe it's only good for overnight oatmeal and keeping sauces warm.

Proctor Silex 33015 1.5-Quart Round Slow Cooker
I purchased this about 8 years ago after reading the book Frozen Assets by Deborah Taylor-Hough. I am not a great cook by any means but this little Retro machine has saved Dinner for my little family.
What can be easier than adding the ingredients, turning it on, and when you're ready to eat (6 - 8 hours later) POOF! Dinner's ready.
After 8 years it still works great. I love that it has a removable container. Our previous one did not and it was a real pain to wash.

This little crock pot is what I've been looking for for a very long time. I purchased it specifically for making queso dip. It's the perfect size and I love that it can be turned on very low heat so it doesn't scorch the queso dip. Most little crock pots have on/off controls only with no variation of heat settings.

This cooker is just the right size for one or two people. I was discouraged looking in the stores only to find the huge cookers making at least six times as much as I could possibly use. So it was a great discovery to find this little cooker, not too small like the one designed for sauces, but not too big - the one and one-half quart size is perfect for my needs. Just received it recently, and put it to work right away cooking real oatmeal overnight to make a healthy breakfast in the morning. It can make the kind of creamy oatmeal from scratch that normally takes a long time on the stove. I added raisins to the overnight cooking and they came out almost reconstituted into round grapes! I found them delicious, but if you prefer chewy raisins, add them after cooking in the crock. The clean-up is easy even though the crock will form a crust on the inside. I fill it with warm water and a little detergent as soon as it cools, and everything stuck to the sides will slide right off. I haven't tried it yet for dinners, as I have more time in the evening to cook, but I'm looking forward to making one of the scrumptious recipes available in the crock pot cookbooks.
