Perfection!

I decided to buy the Cuisinart slow cooker despite several negative reviews on this site because of the positive review at slate.com. I could not be more pleased! We have thus far had the veal shanks and seafood stew from the Cuisinart cookbook, crustless quiche (in a casserole dish set in the slow cooker insert in a water bath) and a chicken dish from one of Dana Carpender’s cookbooks, and Crockpot Beef Bourginon from recipezaar.com. They have all cooked perfectly in the time prescribed and been outstanding. As my husband said last night after the chicken dish, the only problem with this slow cooker is that the food is so good, it’s hard to stop eating. (Oh, and by the way, contrary to another reviewer’s experience, I had no trouble with the label on the front of the slow cooker; it came off cleanly with virtually no effort.)
