Question: Is the 6 qt round or oval.  I am looking for an oval one but the description says round.  Some of the pictures look round and others oval????
Document: I've made several dishes in this already and love it. I love the timer and the fact that after it cooks, it just goes to warm and the food stays perfect. It was a very good purchase for me. It is a little smaller than anticipated, so I will buy the 6 quart also. The pot looks oval in the picture, but is really round.
I already had an oval 6 qt. programmable cooker from Rival, the granddaddy of all crock pots. I loved it, but it's a little large for my family of three unless you plan to make extra. Most recipes I found in my crock pot cook books were for 3-4 qt models, so I went in search of a programmable model. It's fantastic!
I'll start with the positive. First it's Cuisinart and I have never had a complaint with any Cuisinart product that I own. I love that this slow cooker is programmable. It cooks evenly and you can set it to shut-off from cooking to Keep Warm. The one downfall is that I didn't realize how small the crock itself was. I've had a difficult time fitting a couple things in. It looks slightly oval in the picture but it's a round crock.
I bought the Cuisinart PSC-400 because I wanted to expand my cooking skills into the realm of slow cooker convenience--but at the same time, I wanted to avoid the wonderful varieties of bland, gray, tough, and mushy disappointment that slow cookers are so famous for.I previously owned 2 slow cookers, both Rival Crock-Pots. One was the original cylindrical model (with the crockery that didn't detach from the base); the other was a more recent 7 qt. oval model.
I purchased this slow cooker when I decided to downsize from a 6 qt. I have several Cuisinart appliances and have had good service from all of them. So it was an easy choice for me to make and purchase this cooker. It is just the right size, easy to use, and well-made.
(Note that the manual says not to get closer than 1" from the top rim. They have their needs, I have mine.) After cooking and verifying the thighs were 170 degrees and breasts were 165, I immediately submerged the chicken in ice water. The result was equal in texture to the best Hainan Jifan I've ever had. And the flavor was wonderful! (Hint: 6" ginger + 6 green onions + fresh garlic + 32 oz.
Had to return this product because it did not achieve the temperatures stated in its manual. The hottest it got was 195 degrees at high after two hours. It took 10 hours to cook my Peruvian beans and only after I turned it to high after 6 hours.My cheap $15 Crock Pot cooks beans in 6 hours on low. I wanted a 4 qt. programmable slow cooker because I wanted the warm feature.
I have only heard heartache stories from folks using slow cookers: dry and tough meat, no flavor, etc. I am no cook, and did my first slow cook in this with a nasty roast and a good recipe. I think many folks blame poor performance on poor hardware instead of looking at what makes the recipe work (i.e. - plenty of liquid and adequate time). The first pot roast I ever made in my life came out delicious and made me look like a star.
Yum! No problems at all. The high, low, simmer and warm all work perfectly. No weird smells while cooking or eating. And the best part is I'm enjoying a chicken pulled sandwich right now that I cooked in chicken broth for 6 hours on high. Also I have slow cooked ribs in coca cola, lasagna, baked beans and all have come out delicious. I look forward to using this come holiday season. Yum!
I must have misunderstood the description of this product. It is only programmable in the sense that you can set how long it cooks. I was looking for on that you set the time it starts. This was a very sturdy machine that looked nice. Not what I was looking for but you can't go wrong with Cuisinart. I did return it with no problems.
Answer: Yes, the model I have is the PSC-650 and it is oval. It's great, by the way. I've used it for pot roasts, and pork shoulder for pulled pork, and for chili. So glad I bought it.
