WINNING TRAITS OF A GOOD SLOW COOKER
- At least 6- to 7-quart stated capacity and nearly the same in actual, usable capacity
- Oval shape that can accommodate roasts
- Digital and programmable; automatically switches to warming mode when cooking is done
- Glass lid and countdown timer to let you check progress
- Easy, intuitive display and controls that give unambiguous feedback to user
- Internal temperature sensor that automatically maintains temperature control to prevent boiling
- Internal insulation that prevents hot spots and maximizes cooking efficiency
- Handles that are large and easy to grip and that stay cool
WHAT WE EXAMINED
We tested eight 6- to 7-quart slow cookers, preparing a variety of recipes using both low and high temperature settings and varied cooking times. We used temperature probes to map heating patterns, and a panel of testers evaluated how easy the cookers were to use and clean. We also dismantled a set of the cookers to understand the placement and type of heating elements they contained. All slow cookers were purchased online.
COOKING
We prepared boneless, skinless chicken breasts; whole bone-in turkey breast; and pot roast. We evaluated the texture and flavor of the food and rated the cookers on the uniformity of cooking. We did a final round to test the built-in browning function, when available. We gave highest marks to cookers that produced evenly cooked, juicy, and tender foods every time.
EASE OF USE
We evaluated how easy the cookers were to fill, set, and maneuver, including the intuitiveness of controls, displays to monitor cooking, weight of the crock, size and shape of handles, and whether the handles became hot.
CLEANUP
We washed each model six times by hand and 10 times in the dishwasher (unless the manual instructed not to do so). We gave high marks to models that were easy to clean, with few nooks and crannies to trap food or water. We also gave preference to pots and lids that were dishwasher-safe and emerged from 10 dishwasher cycles good as new.
HEATING PATTERNS
To map heating patterns, we used temperature probes to track the temperature of each cooker’s contents as it heated 4 quarts of room-temperature water over a period of 6 hours on high and 12 hours on low.

I am a mech. engr. and I love when you take things apart to show how they work and why they do a good job. Just telling me something is best, but not knowing why, is sometimes a let down. I do appreciate the methods you use to determine the best item.
Happens everyday for me. If I don't understand how it fully works and the functions of the product in detail I start to disengage from the product and think about the interests of retailers and all the chain... I want to fully understand what I have with me and be sure Im getting the best for my needs
this channel is amazing
"we brought it an engineer to tear it apart"
this is why i love their product reviews. they over of every detail, so if you cant find the one they recommend at least you know the specific qualities to look for .
From MIT no less. Hahah. Tells you what the job market is like. Dude was probably sitting around applying to jobs.
" Dude was probably sitting around applying to jobs."
More likely he has a full-time, tenured position teaching future engineers at MIT, which is just a stone's throw from ATK's test kitchen.
I was about to say the same thing, MIT engineers don't have troubles finding jobs.
hey, this MIT engineer took time out of his busy schedule to remove the 4 screws from the thing to split it apart. dont rag on him.
Except they didn't tell you anything but that. Would have been nice to hear more than they hired someone to look at a thing.
I love how she said the buttons were satisfying to click and that the timer started counting down to let you know it’s working. These are the details I’m interested in!
I love the rigorous nature of your testing. I have based quite a few of my kitchen decisions on your videos. I hope you keep making these great videos.
Oval Shapes are more versatile as to what you cook in a slow cooker, meaning you can do roasts and loaves. But round allows for more consistent cooking by avoiding cold spots. The cooking occurs from heating elements wrapped around the well that the ceramic bowl sits in; heat travels in from the outer surface of the ceramic bowl, so obviously a stretched (oval) shape will affect the cooking.
Six to Eight quarts may allow more versatility by allowing roasts and loaves, but it also means a HUGE appliance footprint that may be impractical or impossible for a small/tiny kitchen. If you have an oven, leave roasts and loaves for baking there. Also, very small kitchens are also usually burdened with very small freezers and refrigerators, so slow-cooking in volume usually results in leftovers difficult to store. One rule of thumb says slow cooker volume should equal 1 quart per person in the household plus 1 quart more; so a 3-person home would need a 4qt slow cooker and someone living alone could get by with a 2 or 2.5 qt slow cooker.
The biggest issue for slow cookers is that any slow cooker less than 4qts is unlikely to have a timer or shut-off mechanism. That means you can't risk the fire hazard of leaving a 3qt slow cooker to cook all day while you're at work or in class. Slow cookers under 4qt have just the On/Off, High, Low, Warm settings, requiring you be present to monitor how 'done' the contents become AND manually change the setting (they aren't automatic), to avoid burning the food.
Manufacturers are missing an important market of singles (retirees, chronically-ill, students, single parents) who would love AT LEAST the safety feature of an auto-shutoff feature. This would increase the utility and desirability of small-volume slow cookers as well as protect customers (who may upgrade their slow cookers in the future) who had to go out or had fallen asleep while the slow cooker was on.
For safety's sake, it's a good idea to always plug your slow cooker into a timing device, to shut the appliance off after a period of your choosing. Outlet-positioned timing devices are marketed to fool potential thieves into believing someone's home because the lights come on (while you're actually away); they can be applied in these instances to provide protection.
I have a 4qt oval Crock-Pot. The outside of the thing is decorated with ivy and the crock is dark green. It has served me well for many many years. It was made in the US and I bought it at Wall-Mart for 19.95. One knob: High, Low, Off. Works great. It's all I need.
Hihi!! I have the same one🤭 Also have a bigger one. They were cheap and never failed me👍
Its worth mentioning that only manual knob style slow cookers will work with seperate temperature controllers. These cheap controls from Inkbird and other brands can easily make a basic slow cooker into a precise Sous Vide water bath. Another use for your plain jane crock pot.
oh my god! This is the BEST review i've ever watched! So detailed, so scientific! Computer monitor? MIT engineer? Hell yea! That's the review i wanna see! Use data to speak the truth!
“An engineer from MIT.” I love this channel and the work you all do.
Your thoroughness delights me. I love you guys. ♥

Nice video, you may also want to checkout the review of Winning America Now on my blog here at *gohonestreviews. com/winning-america-now-review/* Thanks, Ginger.
Same!
From what I understand Kitchenaid hires a heck of a lot of engineers who are interested in performance, whereas the other companies (I'm looking at you Hamilton Beach) hire a lot of marketing dweebs to try and 'push' whatever rumbles off their assembly line. It's the difference between trying to understand and meet demand and trying to force demand.
Not really.
The difference is in how much they charge.
You can just sell better stuff when you charge 2-5 times more. Not everyone can afford really expensive stuff, or they hardly use the item and don't want to pay so much for something they rarely use.
But I'll bet Kitchen aid makes a higher percentage of profit per item. If you double the quality of most items, you're really only increasing the cost to actually manufacture it by 10-20 percent max. So when it costs twice as much, most of that extra cost is just going into their pockets.
Some of extra money is what they use to hire extra engineers and research more stuff.
It has absolutely nothing to do with demand. Each company is servicing a different market. If 90% of your cooking is opening boxes and cans(majority of people), it's retarded to own a KitchenAid, or any other high end kitchen equipment.
Well we been through two kitchen aids and there junk crockpots! First one 4 months quit kitchen aid gladly sent another around 10 months and it quit it also doesn’t seem to be a very hot crockpot had to cook usually longer times compared to other crockpots. The engineers need to find better quality parts and manufacturing because it isn’t there in the kitchen aid.
@@KW-cq4yr, I just left a similar comment. I wish it had come with a guide booklet because it's been an ordeal trying to figure out the cooking times. Everything takes so much longer to cook, and I gave up using the low setting at all. If mine breaks down I won't buy another Kitchenaid.
And yet Kitchenaid has its failures. Silicon potholders... those got way too hot, way too soon to be useful. Some of the attachments that run on the mixers aren't that efficient. People complain that the more recent versions of their coffee grinder have underpowered motors. However.. the slow cooker does look like a win. My point isn't that nothing they do is good. Just that each product still needs to be investigated on it's own, like anything else.
Robert Pruitt I know your comment is old but I agree with you on Hamilton beach. My home had 4 ceiling fans In it 3 Hamilton beach fans went out the first 4 years the 1 hunter fan in the living room is still ticking 12 years later..ridiculous
Y'all do such a professional and clear review of each product. I enjoy watching even if I'm not in the market for said item.
I bought the kitchen aid based on your test, and after over a year with it I love it. It cooks perfectly also I love that after the timer is done it automatically goes to keep warm. Which is nice for when I come home later than intended my food is not cold cause it shut off.
You should ask "Alexa...."cook from your smartphone
Thanks4 Kitchen Aid Comment Buying iT😊, & tttTurn That vvvVoice Listner Of😮.
I have the ninja crockpot that I got as a wedding gift 5 years ago and I love it. I use it all the time and it's never let me down.
The second she said she brought in an engineer, I was like "I'm going to buy her winning choice no matter what".
because it takes an engineer to remove 4 screws?
@@MSBowen-pk6ww Amazon reviews are more dubious; actually downright scandalous, even from so-called "verified purchasers".
@@MSBowen-pk6ww you are absolutely right!!!
I'm a mechanical engineer. She should have got an electrical engineer.
@@MSBowen-pk6ww America's Test Kitchen prides itself with not doing advertising or taking donations from the companies they test.
I just so appreciate the detail and thoroughness of your equipment reviews. You seem to always check out the things that are important to me in addition to details that had never occurred to me. It was really interesting learning how slow cookers work when you "checked under the hood". :)
Nice teardown, that was insightful
I have a Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker and I have not had any issues with it. It actually works quite well, I've made Chicken and Rice soup and also I've cooked Turkey Legs and they always came out great.
We have a good old-fashioned Crock Pot oval about 6 quarts with the dial for Off Low High and Warm and it works fine for us. To keep track of cooking time we just set a timer. We are actually using it slightly more often than our oven for meals.
I would like to see an updated review on Slow Cookers. This is the most negatively reviewed product on Amazon that's been recommended by ATK.
I'm currently frustrated and astounded that there is not a single crockpot for sale on amazon that meets my entirely reasonable standards. I just want something big, with a ceramic insert, which is good enough. Like how Crockpot was thirty years ago.
There's literally NOTHING in this space right now. I'm willing to overpay like crazy just to get something good that works, and I LITERALLY can't. There isn't a single option on the market that isn't either crap, or else stuffed with fake and/or bought reviews.
I don't understand. Do people just not use slow-cookers anymore? Aren't people turning away from teflon in general?? WHAT IS GOING ON
I've tried bestbuy and walmart and so on -- they don't have anything either. All Crockpot or Hamilton Beach or hugely overpriced models by other companies with horrible reviews.
This. I live in Japan and was prepared to pay double to get hold of it…. Luckily I read the reviews first!! Made me doubt this whole channel…
Awesome review! Detailed, thorough and thoughtful. Thanks and I'm confident in buying these items when I have the money.
Finally an equipment review. Can we please start seeing more of these

I just have a basic 7 qt Crock Pot that I bought on sale. It has one knob and I've never cooked a bad meal in it. $25
joe b I know right 😭 I bought mine 6qt Crock-pot on clearance in the summer of 2007 for 12$ (It's a red 2006 Christmas special model). Simple low/high/warm knob. Never fail a meal. Can't justify buying a new one bc this one keeping on going.
7qt crockpot. I paid 32 bucks 5 years ago.. I use it every sunday.. Has never failed.
@joe b, yeah, me too. generic crockpot with the one knob. It works perfect.
Your reviews are amazing and so helpful, thank you!
Thank you for your thorough reviews. This is my second time coming to you for an expert comparison review and I don't intend to buy any future appliances without checking in with you all first.
My husband was gifted a $10 or $15 Hamilton Beach slow cooker 3 qt. back in college and we still use it to this day (over 10 years)...granted, the band broke but we've macgivered it with a stretchable keychain band, and sometimes, I wish it was programmable. However, for just us or for a small gathering of 5-6 people, we've made an assortment of beef roasts, beans, meatballs, pulled pork, and chicken recipes. It's turned out to be a very useful, lightweight kitchen appliance for its size, ease of use and durability.
looking to replace my 38 year old 4 qt crock pot with a still intact ceramic insert (no one is allowed to touch the insert - guess that is why it is still going strong) and was very glad to see your reviews. My new kitchenaid is on it's way, I will no longer have to cut a roast in half to get it in the crock pot.
Loved the way you conducted the testing and the real facts about the different aspect to consider before buying a crock pot. Súper Good Video! Hats off!!
I would like to see them test some of the small sizes of these items for those of us that are only cooking for 1 or 2 people. If I used a slow cooker that large I would be wasting a lot of food even with eating leftovers and freezing extra portions.
Great test, thank you for this video,every time I purchased something you recommend , I never been disapointed.
I can't get there from here so I'll post it here on crock pot ribs.
If you add a ceramic coffee cup upside down in the crock pot it will produce a vacuum and prevent the ribs from getting soggy even better. Found it by accident trying to keep ribs upright in the crock pot. Love your show, watch often.....even if its reruns!! Best how to cooking show I can find!
Great review! Thanks for doing all that work!
Thank you for being the most in-depth and scientific review I've been able to find while I look for a slow cooker to buy. Everything else is just an advertisement.
Ok. This is the best most detailed review I have ever seen. Thanks !
Thank you!! This is by far the best review I have ever seen.
A basic one is a must in a kitchen. I am on my second one. If you prepare your vegetables, saute and then add, the flavor is much better. With chowders, add the seafood at the end for the last 10 to 15 minutes. Aged steak floured and sauteed and added again at the end produces the best results. Many thanks for these wonderful videos. Kind regards and greetings from Africa.
Thank you for the video. I really like the products and methods you test - great job!
I'm happy to hear that the Kitchen Aid won. I got that as a wedding gift in May.
Is there an update to this? Its been 6 years since this review was made.
*@4tun8Nanette:* Hi Nanette, I too asked for a *CROCK POT* update today (Feb 2, 2024) and since they didn't listen to you, I'm sure they won't listen to me either. The more recent reviews for their "winner" are pretty dismal as far a quality control at Kitchen Aid. I'm not willing to take a chance. Let me know if you ever found one you like.❤
@@ginawiggles918 When needed I use my Instant Pot as a slow cooker. Good to have a two for one appliance, also.
I really enjoyed the "dissection" of the various models so we could see their inner workings. Unfortunately, though, the winning KitchenAid model has enough articulate negative reviews on Amazon to warrant a second evaluation and testing. I certainly am not convinced that it's a good buy.
Oh thanks so much. I'm in the process of choosing a new one and this sealed the deal.
You guys are awesome! Thank you so much of making this video
Ya I bought this Kitchen Aid slow cooker and just love it. It's a well designed and well constructed machine. I love it!
Lisa, Thanks for this review. I like the note about Kitchen Aid's insulated body. The 'deal breaker' detail of my slow cooker (Hamilton Beach) is that the outside gets so hot it's got to be inefficient - both in energy use and heat distribution. I stopped using it, saving it for a garage sale or target practice, and spend more time at the stove with my 6 qt. Lodge dutch oven. We've grown to become good friends!
This is a really well done review. Thanks.
Thank you SO MUCH for this review!! This machine is what my husband wants for Christmas!! You just SAVED ME!!
How's it working out I might get on?
I have always used Rival Crock Pot brand and now have a new digital one oval...and for me it is as reliable as my 30 year old one..(still have still use!) good for smaller batches!
So thorough, amazing
Thanks - we have been looking at these, very useful. Price is down to $70.27 at Amazon at the moment (Prime eligible).
4 quart from walmart cost 6 dollars had about 3 years now works great use it for everything !!!!
I have the Crock Pot one that's controlled by an app. In addition to app control, there's also ONE manual button on the front of the unit that cycles through high, low, warm and off so it's odd these people had a hard time using it. Timer functions are accessed through the app exclusively which is very basic and lets you control any function of the slow cooker from a remote location. Since most people set these things and then take off, being able to control them remotely is a Godsend. It cooks great too.
I have the Ninja 3-1 Cooking System and it is the best slow cooker I have ever used.
So good in fact I bought one for my sister-in-law, one for my older brother and a spare for myself.
Ninja products are great and the 3-1 system is awesome because you can sear the meat in the same vessel you will be slow cooking so you don’t lose any flavor.
Love KitchenAid products! Thanks! 🎉
Hahahhaha they brought in someone from MIT. That is awesome. Awesome video guys, thank you so much!!
You can always trust America's Test Kitchens! THANK YOU!!!
Very helpful, thanks a lot!!!
One of the BEST investments in a "crock pot" I ever made was purchasing a small cooker that holds EXACTLY one soup or stew can contents. As a teacher, our contract allows us for a 30-minute DUTY FREE lunch period. There isn't time to go out to get lunch, even at a fast food joint (if one were anywhere near the site). So, I'd get to school at 6 when the gates opened and begin my day's prep with setting up the little crock pot in an area where the students couldn't access it, emptying the soup can into it, turning it on, and, when my lunch time came around (the faculty had staggered lunches), the soup was hot and ready to eat. They are usually sold in places like Big Lots, Kmart, Walmart, and Target during the "Back to School/Back to College" sales in late summer.
Fantastic job. 👍Thank you.
Great testing, looking forward to more clips!!! ;-)
Lots of great information on how slow cookers work. I would also love to see a review of countertop pressure cookers. Whether they are better and/or safer than the stove-top kind.
I have an Instant Pot and I love it. Much better than the old stovetop pressure cookers. I’m 62 so I’ve used several of the old stovetop ones. You have to time them, take great care if letting out steam or transporting to the sink to run cold water on them to cool them down. If you didn’t do it all just right, they could explode. I never had any of them explode but my high school friend had one explode, hit the ceiling, and land on her ankle, fracturing it. The Instant Pot has a digital timer display and a easy to use valve to let steam out. Much better that the old designs.
Love this video! :) thank you so much
my Kenmore Elite slow cooker is pretty awesome and I'm wondering if it wasn't made by KitchenAid as many Kenmore Elite products are? the lower end Kenmore small appliances are made by Hamilton Beach butt many of the higher-end small appliances are KitchenAid influenced.
Awesome Review. Do you have a vid about Air Fryers comparison? If so can you share the Link. Thank you
great-review-and-selection
Thanks you so much that was a great help
Thank you; great job🤠
Am attempting to learn some cookery. What is difference between a slow cooker and a pressure cooker? Am suspecting a pressure cooker does same as a slow, only fastar. When would you use one instead of the othar?
I had that Ninja Cooker and Loved it, the only problem was the non-stick coating like most other appliances flakes off. It heated in saute` mode as quick as a pan on a stove top ,so I don't know why you said it was slow. I used the bake function to cook many things and found it cooked evenly throughout. The other issue with the Ninja is the heating element is large so even tho it was a 6 qt I felt shorted on space, it was not as deep as I would have liked.
I love your reviews.
i needed this thanks!!❤✌
Based on this and other reviews I ended up buying the Kitchenaid. It works well, but just know that you have to add a lot more cooking time for almost all recipes. Anything that calls for a low setting I use medium and add up to 2 more hours. Anything on high can take an extra hour or two, as well. The cooker didn't come with a recipe book so it's been a difficult time trying to adjust timing. It took me 10 hours to cook a 3 lb chuck roast and still wasn't as tender as I've seen others. We were famished by then so we just ate it as is. I wish it had come with a guide booklet.
i noticed that the amazon reviews mention missing rubber gaskets and very poorly fitting lids. i bet that's what is messing up the cook times. i was going to get this model because of ATK recommendation but after seeing this type of review im getting very "meh" on this model
Yeah I ordered this model too and it dose not get hot enough to cook anything I put some carrots and water in this crock pot for 15 hours on high and they were still raw
I love the thoroughness of your reviews, but i'll be sticking to my Crock-pot of the time being :)
Any recommendations for a small but good slow cooker enough for maybe two servings something around 2 quarts?
They recommended the kitchenaid last year and I got it for a gift. Super simple and works great. Even makes crockpot pizza. It does take a lot longer than making a pizza from scratch but if you time it right its super convenient. I love it for Chili, bbq and roasts.
A big "Yes!" to slow-cooker chili! Yum! And I still prefer using my slow cooker for pot roast as opposed to using my Dutch oven or doing it sous vide. I had never thought of doing a pizza in a Crock Pot, but it sounds intriguing.
Hi everyone, I bought a slow cooker and noticed that when it reached the last hour, it will start to boil. is that good? i bought it was supposed to simmer to the final minute. thanks.
Very confused, I love all things Kitchenaid in general and was thrilled to see they won this review, however on reading the reviews by users of this machine they seem far from enamoured by the Kitchenaid slow cooker and it's now unavailbale from Amazon. Whilst ATC do wonderful tests in general, I really feel they should return to their tested machines and see if they're still performing well.
Thank you for this video.
Since this was done a few years ago, it would be really helpful to get an updated video. Now this model only comes with Alexa, but if that's not something we are interested in, it would be nice to know what non-Alexa/non-app based slow cooker is recommended.
Seeing "Alexa" and "slow cooker" in the same sentence is not one I ever thought I'd see.
I would love an update on this! 6 years is a long time in the cooking/tech world.
Very interesting & helpful
"So we worked with a mechanical engineer from MIT"
Nothing less could've done the job & the dorky glasses because who knows what might fly out and hit you in they face!
You guys are so wonderfully extreme.
Maltbrew i
Maltbrew Any engineer worth his salt would wear protective tools. Same as chemist that wear white lab coat even on the office.
They use protective goggles and white lab coats so it gives the impression that they’re doing unbiased research when in reality the winners have already paid them for positive reviews.
Lol for real, the glasses were absolute bs minions level humour. I hope it was intended as such.
This is incredible!!
I have one, but the lid doesn't close perfectly on the sides letting scape some heat I guess. or it is normal to let scape some heat so doesn't blow up because of the pressure?
Great review informative
In my experience, the best slow cookers are the vintage original Rival Crock Pots *without* the removable crock. I’ve taken them apart to find out what makes them so good, and the difference actually is that the heating wire in these models is wrapped around and bonded directly to the crock, it actually warms the entire crock evenly all up the sides. It truly makes a serious difference, these are the BEST crock pots. However, the downsides are definitely there. The small typically 3.5qt capacity is limiting and so is the tall cylindrical shape instead of a wide oval one. But if you ever see one in good shape at the thrift shop, it’s DEFINITELY worth picking up!
what about a temperature probe usefulness?
I've got an original crock pot that is decades old, one knob to turn on and either select high or low. The crock doesn't even come out of the pot as it's permanently attached to the housing. I think I've had this 30-40 years,! Maybe more. It still does the job I want, simple, and keeps going and going and going .....At least now when it finally kicks the bucket, I'll know which replacement to buy. I appreciate these to the point thorough reviews. Thank you! I'm curious about these new insta pots, however, and how they differ from these.
can you tell me what model the KitchenAid 6-Quart Slow Cooker With Solid Glass Lid is please.
Can you please review the all clad slow cooker
hi. Could you do a review of the new "June" smart oven in comparison to other medium shelf sized ovens?
Wondering if you could review vegetable peelers? I'm looking to buy a new one as mine won't peel potatoes and would like to see your thoughts on what brand to get. Your reviews on equipment are always looked forward to.
Waoooo that was very impressing. Thank you
very informative
any more videos with this amazing info about pressure coockers?
Multi cookers?
Instant pot? (Still trying to find out diferences)
Bimbi?
Working from home due to covid-19 pandemic. My old Rival Crockpot died. Good time to buy the KitchenAid.
Awesome video! Slow Cookers are the best!
It's funny how a Crock-Pot didn't even win the best Crock-Pot competition.
Yeah, Crock-Pot branded slow cookers came in 4th (Recommended With Reservations) and 6th (Not Recommended) places of the eight slow cookers tested.
The review failed to say what happens to the fancy digital models if there is a momentary power outage - as so often happens in thunderstorms. The Crock-Pots with manual controls turn themselves back on.
Crockpot brand quality has declined over the years.
@@stephentashiro5177 One possible problem with that is that if you're not home when the power goes out, if the machine turns itself back on you might not know that your food was in the danger zone for an hour or more. If the machine stays off, you'd know to toss the food.
@@seikibrian8641 Yeah, I wouldn't WANT me slow cooker to come back on at that point.
Just found your review and loved it! I went directly to the Amazon link and many of the reviewers said the the pot doesn't get hot enough to cook certain foods. Can you comment before I buy one, please? Thanks a bunch!
I have the Ninja. Works great.
I would have liked to see some numbers. Great that you had a favourite, and it looks good. However I would have liked to know what temperature the settings equated to. 80 degrees C would be ideal for low cooking 100 C for High and just how warm is warm? Is it in the safe zone for keeping hot food on display? In the UK that is 63 C and above.
