The Toastmaster TM-151SC Stainless Steel Slow Cooker, with its removable stoneware bowl, is an aesthetically pleasing and functional appliance. However, some users find it difficult to clean, preferring a simpler design. This 1.5-quart slow cooker is ideal for single servings, excelling in preparing soups but struggling with non-liquid dishes like pasta, which can burn easily.
For those who value the convenience of not having to constantly monitor their cooking, this slow cooker might fall short when cooking non-liquid items, as they tend to burn around the edges and on the surface. The removable one-quart crockery insert and the lack of a locking feature on the lid add to its ease of use and cleaning. Despite concerns about the potential presence of lead in the highly polished glaze of the crockery insert, the convenience it offers for two-person meals is notable.
The heat control is straightforward, marked with “OFF – LOW – HIGH” settings. Users appreciate its size and convenience, especially for preparing sauces and other small portioned food items. While some find it too small, others consider it perfect for one or two people. The only notable drawback mentioned is the absence of a ‘Warm’ setting, which if present, could enhance its temperature control capabilities.
