This slow cooker provides a convenient and hassle-free way to prepare meals, especially for those with busy schedules. The 4-quart capacity is suitable for cooking small to medium-sized portions, making it ideal for individuals or small families. The size is compact enough to fit on most kitchen countertops without taking up excessive space.
In terms of performance, the slow cooker does a decent job of evenly cooking and tenderizing various types of food. It offers consistent heat distribution, ensuring that your meals are cooked to perfection. The adjustable temperature settings provide flexibility, allowing you to customize the cooking process based on your specific recipe requirements.
However, there are a few areas where this slow cooker falls short. One notable drawback is the lack of a timer or programmable features. This means that you need to manually monitor and adjust the cooking time, which can be inconvenient, especially if you're away from home for an extended period. Additionally, the absence of a digital display makes it difficult to precisely gauge the cooking progress.
Another aspect that slightly disappointed me was the overall build quality of the slow cooker. While it is functional, it feels somewhat flimsy and not as durable as I would have hoped. The exterior housing and the lid could be sturdier to ensure long-lasting performance.
The Proctor-Silex 33043 4-Quart Slow Cooker has its pros and cons. It provides a convenient way to prepare meals with its decent cooking performance and suitable capacity. However, the absence of programmable features and the somewhat flimsy build quality are aspects that could be improved upon. For those seeking a basic and affordable slow cooker option, this might suffice, but if you prioritize advanced features and durability, it may be worth exploring other models in the market.
When I decided to buy a slow cooker from Amazon the geeky part of me wanted to get fancy displays and program capability. Then my practical side kicked-in and I realized all that fancy stuff will not make the food taste better. I saw this Proctor-Silex slow cooker while researching the right crock pot for someone who lives alone. All the excellent ratings and the very low price made this a obvious best value. In short I think it fits that description with some minor points.
The first couple of meals I cooked seemed to take unexpectedly long; up to twice what the times the menus suggested. Recently the cooker begin coming in right on time. I've no explanation why but cooking times fit recipes for the last couple of meals. Maybe there was something that just needed breaking in?
I am completely happy with the P-S 33043. The 4 quart size is right for someone who lives alone or a couple. I can cook a hearty meal and leftovers for several days. Slow cooking infuses spices nicely into what I've cooked so far (a beef roast, turkey wing stew, and a whole chicken with veggies).
Cleanup is very easy and so far no issues like those reported in some other reviews with the finish of the crockery.
I've only had it for a little while so I'll be updating the review as I learn more.
I give it 5 stars as it fits my needs just about perfectly.
Update: Dec 15, 2013
It's a little soon for an update but I just took a taste of the boneless leg of lamb with Garlic, Lemon and Rosemary I've been cooking all day. Wow, is it good! The gluten-free recipe is from The Everything Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Cookbook and it is just about ready. It has taken a little longer than I expected but I allowed for this. Maybe I got one with a less "high" setting for "high".
One thing is certainly true - all those tech bells and whistles and displays that are on some other slow cookers aren't needed. The one thing I would like on the Proctor-Silex 33043 is a light indicating it's turned on. But even that is just a nit. Happy cooking and eating!
Update Mar 25, 2014
I've cooked many delicious meals in my Proctor Silex Slow cooker. When I got the opportunity to try out a high end ($220 list) slow cooker at no charge I was thrilled. Would it be 11 times better than my trusty Proctor Silex?
When I tested the 360 Cookware Gourmet Slow Cooker, 4-Quart I realized it wasn't just a slow cooker but a high-end stock pot and heating base. If you are interested in a premium stock pot with a base that makes it a very good slow cooker, and you've got the money to invest it may be worth a look.
I did have meals come out better in the 360 Slow Cooker but I didn't think it was 11 times better. If you are just interested in a slow cooker the Proctor Silex does well at less than 10% of the cost.
Update: Aug 26, 2017
After happily using this Proctor Silex for years I got a last summer for one feature: The latching/sealing lid.
Some of my friends and I have a rotating pot-luck and while I love my Proctor Silex using a bungie cord on the lid isn't a great solution when taking it in the car/ The new Hamilton Beach's latch and seal lid is perfect. It has some other features that are nice too, but I don't really need. Otherwise it's almost identical in function and use and seems to cook identically to my PS..
After using both through last winter I decided I didn't need 2 slow cookers. Happily I was able to give it to a friend who's slow cooker stopped working, so it's useful life continues beyond 4 years.
If you want to take your slow cooker with you the Hamilton Beach is a good choice. When staying in place my Proctor Silex is just fine.
