The tailgate-ready Crock-Pot SCCPVL610-S 6-Quart Programmable Cook and Carry Oval Slow Cooker is the #1 bestseller at Amazon in the Slow Cooker category. In fact Crock-Pot, the most famous name in slow cookers, owns the top four spots on the slow cooker bestseller list before venerable names like Proctor-Silex and Hamilton Beach nudge their way onto the list. (If there were a separate category for “high-end slow cookers” the $122 Cuisinart MSC-600 3-In-1 Cook Central 6-Quart Multi-Cooker would do battle with $50 Crock-Pot for the crown.)
But despite its totally unmemorable SCCPVL610-S name, the 6-quart damn-good-enough-to-make-the-meat-fall-off-the-bones Crock-Pot resides at #1 for a reason. People love it. The Stainless Steel Crock-Pot can rock a 6 lb. roast and shifts to warm automatically when the time is right. Crock-Pot even claims the oval stoneware container is “stylish for your table” — though it’s more likely to stay tucked in as people pull their sausages out before the game. More than 3,000 customer reviews at Amazon average 4-of-5-stars. There’s a reason, besides being among the first, that Crock-Pot became a synonym for slow cooker — a challenge that the competition has battled ever since. There are naysayers scattered among the Crock-Pot praise, but a typical review glows:
“It gets better and better! I’ve made casseroles, breakfast dishes, beans, roast, ribs, Mexican food dishes – all just great (including the chicken/rice recipe with the rice cooked in the Crock-Pot)!”
