Snoop's Take

The BELLA 1.5 Qt Slow Cooker is designed for small households, offering a 1.5qt capacity perfect for cooking meals for two or preparing dips and sauces. This compact slow cooker features an EverGood™ Ceramic Nonstick Coating, ensuring easy food release and a mess-free cooking experience, complemented by three heat settings for versatile meal preparation. Consumer feedback reveals a mix of satisfaction and concerns. Many users appreciate the affordable price, with one stating, "A lot of bells and whistles for $13," indicating good value for features. However, some have reported issues with performance, as one user noted, "I recently got the Hamilton Beach crock pot with a temperature gauge and it works MUCH better," highlighting potential performance gaps. While the BELLA slow cooker is praised for its price and design, the mixed reviews regarding cooking performance suggest that potential buyers should consider their specific needs and perhaps explore other options if reliability is a priority. Overall, it may be suitable for casual use but might not meet expectations for heavy-duty cooking.

“I need a new crockpot that can handle a lot of food, and this seems big enough.”➕
“Most crock pots are a ceramic crock that sits on top of a couple of heating elements, which should be hard to screw up in terms of production, and I can't imagine the electronic aspects of it wouldn't last a few years, which is more than enough time to get a good value out of something like this.”➕
Good customer service for product issues

Core Power Plays

The specs and strengths that make it shine.
User experiences with slow cooking settings
“I use the slow cooker on my Ultra all the time, never had any issues, especially with long cooks on the Low or custom setting.”➕
Discussion on slow cooker temperature settings
“Crock Pot seems to be too hot I feel like every recipe that i follow the food just kind of falls apart, almost like the low setting should be the high setting.”➕
“The current rumour is manufacturers are afraid of being sued for food poisoning for undercooked meat so they cranked up the temperature to avoid that.”➕
“You're correct, High and Low are both about 210 to 220 degrees, Low takes about 5 to 6 hours to get there.”➕
“Now I'm thinking the 5-7 hours on low in a slow cooker as indicated by the recipe was actually at a higher temp than what the Instant Pot's low temp is set for.”➕

Hidden Hero Hacks

Unexpected tricks and side‑door uses you’ll love.
Discussion about cooking rice in a slow cooker
“Can you make rice with a slow cooker? I've heard so many great things about rice cookers lately, and I'm just wondering if something similar can be done in a slow cooker, and if anyone has any experience with this?”➕
“Not sure... however my rice cooker also has slow cooking capabilities. Best of both worlds.”➕
“3 hours is too long in my slow cooker. Mine only takes 1 hour for 2 cups of rice. So I’d say be careful and the first time you do this at home, check every half hour or so until the rice is done!”➕
“Interesting. My slow cooker cooks hot. I can cook most things (not big hunks of roast, etc) but chicken breast, etc in 3 hours. But when I do brown rice in the slow cooker it takes 3 hours to get to full fluffiness, with no mush.”➕
Discussion on cooking techniques for non-stick
“As Gordon Ramsey says, get the pan hot, add oil or butter, then when you put anything in the pan move it around so it won't stick. It works!”➕

Buyer’s Cheat Sheet

What to check before you click ‘Add to Cart.’
Challenges of choosing a slow cooker
“Ridiculously angsty over what slow cooker to buy- scary reviews? I'm a single person and want a simple, basic slow cooker.”➕
“This is really great advice.”➕
“Can't go wrong with the simple $20 low-high-warm crockpot brand at Walmart”➕
“Don't overthink a crock pot. Just pick one.”➕
Comparison of heating methods between slow cookers and instant pots
“the heating is not distributed evenly or efficiently.”➕

Cautionary Callouts

Know the pitfalls before they catch you off guard.
Discussion on slow cooker safety practices
“most slow cookers have a slightly non uniform ceramic pot if they don't have a vent, usually just enough so that internal and external pressures can equalize”➕
“I’m pretty religious with a food thermometer but I don’t think I’ve ever used one for slow cooked food.”➕
“Any of mine would be cool enough (once unplugged) the next day.”➕
Concerns about slow cooker safety and food temperature
“How are slow cookers safe?”➕
“Won't the chicken be in the "danger zone" for longer than the 2 hour rule?”➕
“If it's an insta pot the outside isn't gonna get super hot on warm.”➕
“The outer shell of the instant pot is not the part that is used to cook, the inner pot is.”➕
General discussion about slow cooker performance
“[This may help.]”➕
Loose lids are common to prevent pressure buildup.
“You can take it back to Costco for up to a year for a full refund.”➕
“Yeah, I've heard the same about newer models having higher temp floors.”➕
Concerns about food safety with slow cooker settings.
“The warm setting on modern slow cookers should hold food above 145, which is in the safe zone for cooked foods.”➕
“Once the food is cooked and hot, you can switch the the warm setting and leave it there safely.”➕
Feedback on Costco's return policy for faulty cookers.
“If you’re okay with bringing it back in the store, then Costco as a general rule will be ok facilitating the return.”➕
Positive experience with a different brand's slow cooker.
“I am happy with mine but it doesnt boil on high like my last one did... but i guess they arent supposed to?”➕
Concerns about quality and functionality of locking lid
“The lid must lock down”➕
