GreenLife 6QT Slow Cooker, Non-Toxic PFAS-Free Ceramic Nonstick Removable Interior Bowl, Programmable, Family Friendly, Keep Warm, Stovetop & Oven Safe, Dishwasher Safe Parts, Timer, Glass Lid, Blue

Works great on the first time! I seared meat using the crock on my gas stove then finished the dish in the crockPot. Color is great. The crock is light and easy to clean. This is a great find. I’m getting the frying next.

I love this slow cooker. This is so light weight. With my arthritic hands it is very easy to carry and clean the pot. Thank you for making such a nice product!

As a foodie, I have a wide array of tools in my arsenal, from sous vide machines and BBQ grills to pizza-making equipment and baking gear. However, one item I had never owned until now was a slow cooker. After reading hundreds of product reviews, I decided the GreenLife slow cooker seemed like the right choice for the price and its features. Despite this, I had some concerns about issues mentioned in reviews, such as chemical smells, heating performance, and durability over time.I take all reviews with a grain of salt, as everyone should, and decided to give this unit a try. The slow cooker arrived quickly and was well-packaged. One thing that immediately stood out was how lightweight it was—a pleasant surprise.Before using it for cooking, I conducted a series of tests to evaluate its heating performance at all three temperature settings: low, medium, and high. Here's what I found:Test on Low Setting:I cleaned the unit with soap and water, then filled it with 4 quarts of 70-degree water (measured with a digital thermometer).After running the slow cooker on low for 4 hours, the water reached a final temperature of 175 degrees.During this initial test, the unit emitted a noticeable chemical smell, which was a bit concerning.Test on Medium Setting:I repeated the process with fresh 70-degree water and set the cooker to medium for 4 hours.The final temperature reached 209 degrees, and the chemical smell had mostly dissipated by this point.Test on High Setting:Once again, I started with fresh 70-degree water and set the cooker to high for 4 hours.The water temperature reached 219 degrees, and the chemical smell was completely gone by the end of this test.Additional observations:The exterior of the unit never exceeded 170 degrees, which is an important safety feature.The bottom of the unit stayed below 100 degrees, indicating efficient insulation.Several people mentioned they were worried about the two screws on the bottom that could scratch your countertop. On a level countertop, neither screw will cause a problem, but if you are concerned, place the slow cooker on a cutting board.Based on my tests, I plan to do most of my slow cooking on the medium setting. This setting seems to heat food out of the danger zone (40–140 degrees) more quickly, which is important for food safety.Today, I’m putting the GreenLife slow cooker to work by making a 15-bean soup, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase. It’s affordable, functional, and has exceeded my expectations so far.

I bought this slow cooker to replace my brand name crockpot that had bad hot spots. I have used it a handful of times. I am not a heavy slow cooker user. I've had no problem with chili, pulled pork, chicken thighs and a roast. I did read some reviews that meat was not done in the time, but I believe the low setting is really low, so I tend to use the medium setting and everything was perfect every time. I absolutely love the light weight metal insert. Easy to handle (not so darn heavy) and a dream to clean.Just like any non-stick pan, do not use metal utensils in it. Another reviewer was upset that this is being described as a 'ceramic' insert. No, they say it's coated in ceramic non-stick. Here's the difference: "The main difference between ceramic and ceramic nonstick coating is that ceramic nonstick coating is a silicone finish applied to a metal pan, while ceramic is a material." I can't attest to how this one will hold up if you're a heavy user of a slow cooker or if you use it on the stove to brown meat, etc. I have not done that yet and probably won't. I'm happy with my purchase and I love the blue color I chose to go with my kitchen.

This crockpot is attractive and cooks food well. I love the purple color and it's much more lightweight than other crockpots I've had which is nice. I deducted one star because the lid doesn't clamp down to attach to the base. Not a big deal for using at home but inconvenient for transporting it to parties/events.

I am very pleased with this slow cooker. I have a traditional crock pot slow cooker with the heavy ceramic crock that's about 15 years old. It works great but I wanted something that was lighter weight and easier to clean. This one was exactly what I was looking for. Bonus that it's a fun purple color. It cooks perfectly and the removable nonstick inner pan is sooooo much easier to clean, lift and move. Oh and it's Greenlife / Greenpan brand so the nonstick coating is bird safe for us parrot people. Highly recommend.

Originally I bought it by mistake but when I received it I had to keep it, it was THAT good. The best part is the cooking liner! It is light and coated on the inside so you can braise on the stove top and then place in the unit OR start in the unit and move the liner to the oven or cooktop. Clean up was a breeze. Due to the coating a soapy sponge was all I needed. It says that the liner is dishwasher safe. I’m glad my “mistaken purchase” ended in falling in love with it. I also love the variety of colors it comes.

I bought this Greenlife 6 quart ceramic slow cooker to replace one that broke last year. I wasn't sure if I wanted a slow cooker with the ceramic stone insert or this one with the lightweight ceramic coated metal insert. I decided to go with this one as it is lighter in weight and easier for me to carry and store.I have cooked in this twice now and both times the food came out perfectly. Cleanup was easy, nothing stuck to the insert.The controls are easy to use. One must press the on/off button firmly to get the slow cooker to turn on. Once its on you press mode to chose the temperature then turn the dial to choose the time. If you want to delay the start of the cooker you set that after you set the cook temp and time. Once the cooking time is done, the cooker switches to keep warm and counts down from 4 hours.I also like the fact that this cooker is deeper than other 6 quart cookers. Being deeper it fits in the same sized spot on my shelf as my 3-1/2 quart Crockpot.
