Proctor Silex 33116Y Portable Oval Slow Cooker, 1.5-Quart

1.5 quart slow cooker -- with temperature controls!
I had a small slow cooker before with temperatures of on and off. This has keep warm, low, high, as well as off.
I bought this as a good option for fondue (no more burned spots from the warming candle), overnight cooked cereals, and lots of other things that need a small space.
More temperatures gives better control, and many slow cooker cookbooks have comments for halving recipes, to cook in this size.
I wasn't sure about the words on the front of the slow cooker, but there is a frame around the words proctor silex that you can put labels into.
The manufacturer ships a whole sheet of them with the slow cooker. That's what you're looking at with the manufacturer's pictures.
There is a stretch band that fits into notches in the handles and stretches to secure the lid.
This slow cooker has a lot of value for its size! I would recommend owning this 1.5 quart slow cooker for all the small do-aheads!
Mine has worked very well for me.

Totally awesome cooker....
I bought this cooker after buying the Hamilton Beach stow and go slow cooker - 5 quart. I returned the 5 quart because I really didn't like the meals that it produced and it was way too big. I bought this tiny cooker in all honesty to make my irish oatmeal. Which I might add it does beautifully.

I do a lot of Indian cooking...on a whim I decided to split my rogan josh recipe and put 1/2 in the cooker and 1/2 on the stovetop. I must tell you that my husband and I were blown away by the cooker's results. The flavors permeated the meat and the texture was spot on. This is an amazing little appliance. I've had it for about a year and only used it for Oatmeal up until this past Sunday. I can tell you its sturdy, reliable and perfect for singles and couples.

Absolute best Crockpot for tiny families or single people
We were so tired of making too much stuff in the crockpot and having to freeze it. We are only 2 people and the 2-1/2 quart crock full of food was several meals. This makes one dinner each and leftovers for one to two lunches. Perfect. Works great, comes with a band to keep the lid on tight if you want to transport it...like for snackfests at a party where you're bringing the sauces or the little sausages in bbq sauce or the chili for the hotdogs. The controls are great. You can put it on a separate timer if you want, or just put it on and turn it to warm when it's done. Has a black rubber gasket on the lid so it seals properly onto the rim. Great that it takes so little space in the cupboard and is small enough to store leftovers in a busy fridge. Highly recommend it for a small wedding gift would make a nice set with some china white appetizer dishes...they'll use it even after they've graduated to the 6 quart family sized monster. After using it for a few weeks I sent one...
