Cuisinart PSC-350 Stainless Steel Dishwasher Safe Slow Cooker, 3.5-Quart

This stainless steel cooker with a six-and-a-half-quart stoneware insert and electronic controls can be programmed to cook for up to 24 hours on the high, low, or warm settings; it automatically switches to the warm setting after cooking and remains on warm for eight hours or until turned off or reprogrammed.

The Cuisinart 3.5 quart of course comes with the typical settings of high, low and warm for cooking your meals. There is also an added option of simmer, which not all slow cookers have. With a bit of research (reading the instruction manual), I discovered that there are actually exact temperatures that these settings represent. I wasn’t familiar with the simmer setting, so wanted to make sure what it was all about. It’s actually a temperature that’s between warm and low.

One of our favorite things about this cooker is the ability to control the actual temperature, instead of just selecting low or high. Plus, the LCD display screen is extra-large and backlit in blue, making it easy to read the time and temperature. Lastly, the cooking pot is nonstick and removable, so you can easily toss it into your dishwasher for speedy cleaning.
