I just purchased a 7 quart All-Clad at WilliamsSonoma. I haven't used yet or even taken it out of the box but I can tell you that I think the shape and size will be great for the 3 lb roasts that I typically use a crockpot for. Also, the women at the store said they use it in the store all the time and love it. I asked if anything ever burned in it because it was too small for the capacity of the crock and they said they never experienced this. It looks well made. Hope this helps somewhat.I use to have a 6 quart Rival and the handles both cracked.
My husband bought me a brandnew Rival and I opened it up and one of the handles was cracked. The All-clad has metal handles with rivets which I think will be less of a problem. Hi Analytical, you might want to pull that All-clad cooker out of the box and take a look at the lid, its too small to properly cover the pot, it slides around too far and can let the steam out of the cooker, which means you got a problem, I pointed this out to the people at my local Sonoma store. Plus the top wobbles and doesnt sit properly I do have a solution to this,and that is using a rubber seal from a pressure cooker and installing it to the top, the lip of the top fits inside the seal, I am still thinking of getting one of these units and trying this, let me know what you found and if your going to keep the cooker, JerryMB. OK, but does the All Clad warrant paying 3-5X what a Hamilton costs? In my extensive reviews of the comments of others, Hamilton is the only one that dodges claims of overheating or breakage.
All-clad Slow Cooker Recipes
With 4 qts at $20 and 7 qts with timer at $50, why spend more, except for the fetish value of the All Clad name? (Funny, I can't even find the All Clad on the manufacturer Web site. Is this a licensing deal?)Additionally, Waring started the stovetop to crock-pot thing, but did not provide side heating. Does All Clad? If not, it's just a hot plate with an integrated pot, not a true 'crock.' I spent a lot of time last year looking for a slow cooker with a lid that fit and didn't leak steam (thus rendering it useless for unattended cooking as well as causing it to make my whole house smell like whatever was cooking.)I found that all except the All Clad had lids that didn't fit properly- the glass lids were even around the edges but the crockery liner's edges were uneven, aallowing steam to leak out and the liquid to bubble away into my house.
The All Clad lid FITS BEAUTIFULLY!! I like the programmability; the sides don't get overly hot, and besides, it looks great on my counter. But function is foremost with me. The only problem I've had is that one of the little rubber feet came off and, not knowing what it was, I threw it away in a fit of kitchen drawer de-cluttering. Next time I used the cooker I figured out what it was, too late.
I wrote to All Clad customer service to ask where I could buy one, and received back by return mail 4 little feet!! It was a very nice touch.I have the $100 version of the All Clad, with the crockery insert. The $200 one has an insert that can go on the stove for browning.A friend of mine puts her slow cooker in the garage while it's cooking so it doesn't smell up her house. I use my All Clad instead.
I bought an al-clad SC when it first came to WS. The workmanship on mine is bad (the lid doesn't align properly with the lip of the pot).if I had saved the receipt and the box and noticed the problem earlier on I would have returned it. Months later I stopped into a WS and looked at the Al clad SC to see if they were all made bad and the one that was on display looked perfect.
I think I may have gotten one from a bad batch. As to whether it cooks properly or not, it seems to be a little too hot (even on low the liquid boils the whole time). I haven't been that happy with it and since I don't use SC too often I would not spend as much as I did since other cheaper brands have been made for a long time and I believe they are reliable. I don't use for entertaining so would never have a need to bring out the beautiful ceramic inside pot.My niece has the very expensive WS Al-Clad SC and she loves it. The difference is the inside pot can be used on the stovetop to brown meat prior to cooking in SC. Kraftdee, I just found this thread and wanted to let you know that WS will still take back your slowcooker even without a box or receipt. As long as it's a product that they've carried in their store at one time, they will honor it.I have the slowcooker with the ceramic insert for a few years now and it hasn't failed me once.
I had the earlier model with the lid has the ball handle. I've seen the one with the aluminum insert in action at the WS store.
It's a nice machine, but you must be careful when you handle the lid. It gets really hot.
