Farberware FSSC500 5-Quart Slow Cooker

Saturday, October 17th, 2009


This 5 quart slow cooker is great for stews and soups. Its three temperature settings of Hi, Low, and Warm allow the cooker to be in complete control. This product contains a removable crock that is immersible for easy cleaning, a power indicator light, easy-grip handles and a dual-purpose ceramic container. The glass lid is tempered for added safety, and allows you to peek inside as your soups, casseroles and pot roast cook.
I had one of the original crockpots that came out in the 70’s. I used it many years with good results. When I decided to replace my old one, I purchased a Rival brand, just like my original. Unfortunately, it cooked way too hot and I was extremely unhappy with my purchase. After reading the reviews on this item, I decided to replace my new Rival with this model. I really love it, a true slow cooker. I can put soup on before I go to bed and the next day I have a good meal. I don’t have to worry about it boiling away. Rival should do something about their crockpots that cook too high. I highly recommend this model, not only for is slow cooking temperature but the price as well.

Farberware FSSC500 5-Quart Slow Cooker

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

The Farberware FSSC500 5-Quart Slow Cooker is one of the best slow cookers available on the market today.  One of its main advantages it that the cover fits very well preventing heat from leaking out. Once whole grains are ready I turn the cooker off and add vegetables on top (often without touching any water). The veggies then steam beautifully within few minutes. The three temperature settings are very useful and indeed provide warm, low and high temperature settings. Pity Farberware does not manufacture this model any more.

Everyone is right about this slow cooker. It is the only one of dozens I have investigated that does not boil food on low. A slow cooker is USELESS if it does that! This one is just wonderful. Best food I have ever made, and it is all because of cooking at 170 degrees instead of 200. If only it were programmable. But that is a small wish compared to having it WORK PROPERLY! This just goes to show it is possible to manufacture something both cheaply and properly.

If you are looking for a 5 quart slow cooker … get the Farberware FSSC500 5-Quart Slow Cooker!

Gas Furnace Prices – How To Get The Best Value-For-Money

Monday, May 10th, 2010

With the colder weather now drawing near, many people will be looking to replace their gas furnace with an improved, more efficient model. Gas furnace prices are an important factor in achieving a cost-effective solution to your heating requirements.

Make certain that you do not make the mistake that many people make and that is to select your new gas furnace solely on the basis of which one is the cheapest. This may be an expensive mistake over the long-term.

You need to buy a furnace that is sufficient for your heating needs and is not ‘over-specified’. Given that future gas prices are very likely to be higher than they are today, you should look at buying a high-efficiency furnace. Although this will cost you more initially than a low-efficiency furnace, the long-term savings on gas should more than offset the difference in price.

You will also need to consider the costs of routine maintenance and servicing as well as the guarantees and warranties that the furnace manufacture will supply with your new furnace. The availability of spare parts and how quickly these can be obtained and fitted also need to be considered to ensure that your heating is never out-of-action.

The current economic climate means that gas furnace manufactuers and dealers are desperate for your business. This means that there are some real bargains to be obtained if you shop around for the best gas furnace prices.

A new gas furnace is a major purchase so you should take plenty of time to ensure that you get the best combination of price, performance and economy that you can.
