Farberware Slow Cooker

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.
