Greenpan Slow Cooker Pine Green 6L

Wonderful product. GreenPan is top notch. Have had this one a few weeks now. Please read the instructions ! The one issue I do have with it, is the labeling on the menu pad. Almost impossible to read. I have to create a reflection with my hand by hovering over the buttons. Then the printed labels can be read easily. Treat this unit with love and care! If you absolutely HAD to replace the inner pot, GreenPan does not sell them separately! You’d have to go through the warranty instead. The preset temps to sear are really hot ! Gets the job done. Made a roast a few days ago- great searing, finished it in the “Hi” crock pot setting. Nice! Wish it came in a 7-8 quart though. Fabulous price from Home Depot! $129.99 price was outstanding. Please run that sale again so I ... MoreWonderful product. GreenPan is top notch. Have had this one a few weeks now. Please read the instructions !

Best slow cooker I’ve ever had

I am really happy with this slow cooker, it does what it should very well, and it’s features are really useful. I’m a big fan of GreenPan, their coatings are really tough, way tougher than Teflon and other coatings, truly non-stick (making cleanup super easy), and being non-toxic is a definite plus.I haven’t tried all the settings, but the browning setting works really well, meaning you don’t need to use a separate pan… it has worn up times meaning food hits the pan at the right temperature. And after you’ve browned, just set it to slow cooker (hi/low/warm) and set the time. I found it very easy to use and intuitive, I didn’t need to open the instructions at all, although it does come with helpful information.I like how the pot is much lighter than a crockpot’s ... MoreI am really happy with this slow cooker, it does what it should very well, and it’s features are really useful.

Best slow cooker on the market!

The best thing about this cooker is the different settings. Being able to sear things in the pot before slow cooking makes it so much easier and less dishes! I have also found I can remove the lid and turn up the temperature during the last hour to simmer and thicken sauces.I am loving this slow cooker and it’s the best one I’ve ever owned. A quality product that does a variety of things.The only negative is the preheat function before every setting. It takes a long time. And that the unit is quite big and bulky.

Easy (to cook and clean), versatile slow cooker

Having grown up on slow cooked meals, I was really excited to get the opportunity to have my own slow cooker and this exceeded all expectations.It's easy to:- Use; (once you've read the instructions about the different types of buttons and functionalities, I would recommend doing this so you get the most out of your machine) to set the different functionality and it's cooking time (after this it goes to a "keep warm" function for up to 8 hours).- Clean; you simply take out the black inner dish and the remnants wash away as it's very anti-stick.- Cook with; the food can just be thrown in with no talent and it still turns out delicious.It's quite a big appliance, but it looks stylish on the side and is light enough to put away if you're like me and need the ... MoreHaving grown up on slow cooked meals, I was really excited to get the opportunity to have my own slow cooker and this exceeded all expectations.It's easy to:- Use; (once you've read the instructions about the different types of buttons and functionalities, I would recommend doing this so you get the most out of your machine) to set the different functionality and it's cooking time (after this it goes to a "keep warm" function for up to 8 hours).- Clean; you simply take out the black inner dish and the remnants wash away as it's very anti-stick.- Cook with; the food can just be thrown in with no talent and it still turns out delicious.It's quite a big appliance, but it looks stylish on the side and is light enough to put away if you're like me and need the counter space. It's size also makes it perfect for dinner parties/cooking for lots of people, I made an 8 person dahl and then had virtual no washing up at the end! It's probably a little big for one person meals, unless you have enough freezer space to store your left overs.My favorite thing to cook in this slow cooker is a whole chicken. You sauté it at the start, then add some carrots and onions and leave it on low all day, resulting in a juicy chicken for the whole family to enjoy. I'm excited to try it's steamer and functionality given how good the sauté, slow cooking (high/low) and keeping warm functions are.

Easy to use and stylish

After taking the cooker out of its packaging I was a little surprised by the size as I had imagined it to be slightly smaller, but it looks and feels like quality.After quickly reading the instructions and familiarising myself with the different functions and buttons on the lovely LCD, I couldn't wait to get cooking and try it out.Pulled together some ingredients that were lying around in the fridge for a while and decided on a chicken stew for a family of four. Quickly chopped potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, garlic, layed my chicken thighs on top and added some herbs and stock.Set the cooker to fast cook, which was for a 4hr cooking time and we all went out for the day, hoping that we would come back to a cooked meal.

When we came back later that evening I was very surprised as there was hardly a smell in the kitchen, I thought something must have gone wrong but when I looked in the pot, what I saw was a gorgeous looking meal which was ready to be served up.The food was delicious and flavoursome and the non stick pan was so easy to clean, I'm now looking forward to trying all the other functions, particularly the saute and steam ones.

Excellent results & Cooking easy!

The functions are very easy to use. Sri Lankan curry turned out better than previous hob results because the flavours were locked in and the juice was thicker. Used the Low setting for 2.5hrs and it was ready. Very impressed. Was able to put in all ingredients and leave it to cook and tackle the day’s to-do list! This particular slow cooker is unique because the machine can heat your food whilst you are serving. It will know the lid is off, which is when food can cook quickly, but this clever machine heat your food so your creations are still hot. Uniquely, you can adapt the temperatures to ensure the food is ready over a longer or shorter period of time. The quality throughout is awesome. It looks and it’s easy to move because it’s lightweight yet sturdy. The plan ... MoreThe functions are very easy to use.

It looks and it’s easy to move because it’s lightweight yet sturdy. The plan is to try the steamer functions and lots of other recipes. The vegan cawl soup turned out to be a winner with chicken style chunks from well known supermarkets thrown in and plenty of garlic! It’s rare to be able to buy real quality these days. But this machine impresses me more and more every day. It definitely takes the pressure off when cooking. Just prep and away you go. Recommend curries… as the flavours are superbly managed in this machine. The buttons and display are straightforward. The only negative is that the free cookbook was too big on the animal meat. It was a turn off. But the machine itself is probably the best on the market in my experience and opinion. Enjoy!

I wanted to love it 😩

After many attempts with different items, this product simply isn’t cutting it. I’ve attempted to slow cook beans several times now, and after 3 (12 hr) increments they were still firm. I’ve cooked a chicken, and it took a full 8 hr cycle on high and still wasn’t tender. I’ve made a roast which I had to finish off in my Dutch oven because it still wasn’t ready by dinner time. I love the look of the product, and more importantly that it is non-toxic. Unfortunately it just needs fine tuning because the product simply doesn’t work. I have many other products by this brand that I love. Very sad that I don’t feel the same about this one :/

Keeps shutting off unexpectedly

I got this slow cooker for Christmas last year and it was love at first sight. The features are amazing and the non-stick "crock" is a game changer. Unfortunately, a few months ago it began randomly shutting off in the middle of cooking. This resulted in a number of lovingly prepared meals that had to be thrown out. Also, the lettering on the buttons wear off quickly and then you have to press buttons from memory, which isn't great if, like me, you only use your slow cooker a few times per month. The concept of this appliance is excellent, but the quality and longevity of the product is lacking, especially at this price point.

Nice slow cooker

I like this GreenPan Premiere 6-Quart Slow Cooker. I got it in stainless steel and it’s the perfect size for my family. I have been using it daily since I got it and every meal has turn out very good. My family likes slow cooker meals and I make them a lot because they are so easy and the meats are always so tender. I really like that I can brown and sear meat before actually slow cooking. The pot is removable for easy clean up. It has a LCD display and 8 preset buttons like slow cook, steam, simmer and more. I really like the steam option it’s a great feature so I can make healthier foods like broccoli, carrots and other veggies. The silicone side handles are a great feature and the pot is lightweight which makes it easier to lift out. It doesn’t get too hot on the ... MoreI like this GreenPan Premiere 6-Quart Slow Cooker.

It has a glass lid so you can see the food as it cooks. There is a place on the back to store the power cord in when not using it. It also comes with a roasting rack which is a nice feature. I really like this slow cooker as it offers many options to prepare food for my family. I have made pot roast, lasagna, chicken and pulled pork in it and all of the meals have been very good. I am looking forward to making many more meals in this slow cooker. This is a nice slow cooker and I am very happy to have it.

So many great features, works so well

I LOVE this slow cooker! This does so much more than my previous slow cooker, you can do everything you need to cook a roast for instance...You can put the roast in, let it brown on both sides with your spices, water & onions then once it's done, you don't need to switch out of a big pan like usual. You just add the rest of your veggies, add more liquids & put it on slow cook. The roast is ready quickly & cooked all the way.I've been able to cook numerous other meals in this, nothing ever burns, it's always cooked perfectly & nothing ever sticks to the inside.This is super easy to clean, has all the options & everything is easy to store. It does take up a bit more counter space than my other slow cooker, but that's the only drawback of this one.I can't ... MoreI LOVE this slow cooker!

If you're not purchasing because of the price, I always say to myself, buy once, cry once. It may be more expensive up front, but it's going to last longer, cook better & do so many more things, the initial investment will give you so much more return than other brands.
