Just about perfect for me
I bought this version of the Ninja because of one of the reviews I read on Amazon. He stated he wasn't going to be doing any baking in his slow cooker so this, much cheaper, version was the perfect one for him.
And I agree. I'm not going to be doing any baking in mine either. It is a great slow cooker. The low heat is low, but not so low that nothing happens. The high is enough higher that things bubble but they certainly do not burn. Kind of a high simmer while the low is just a bit below that.
The other side, the regular cooking side, has low, medium and high heats. The problem with this is that it doesn't heat up fast. And that can be a problem. I've browned ground beef and cooked onions and they do cook. But I have not tried to brown a roast in this pot, which was one of the reasons for buying it in the first place. I think it would work, but I am not sure it gets hot enough. And you would need to wait for the heat to come up before you put the meat in if you...
Not worth the money
Bought this "slow cooker" and it is not worth the money. . . . It cooks too hot and has a steam vent in the glass lid which allows all the liquid to cook out. Also, after using it twice the inside of the non-cooking pot is already becoming scratched. I am taking this back.
Fantastic!
We love this slow cooker. Being able to sear and/or brown the meat right in it is great!
We used it last weekend and it worked perfectly. Love that you can set the timer and then it goes right into "auto-warm" mode!
The Teflon coating makes it a breeze to clean too.
