Farberware Slow Cooker

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.

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.
