5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!
I've had the Cuisinart OSC-350 3.5-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker for about 6 months now, and so far love it. It's the perfect size for a single person (like me) to make a meal and have leftovers for one or two more meals later in the week, or for a couple to have a meal. Also, I'm fairly new to slow cooking--this is my first one. That said, I'm an avid cook and baker. I decided to give it a try because I liked the idea of coming home once a week or so and having a meal virtually ready to serve.From an operational perspective, this is the little engine that could. The oval shape (rather than round) is ideal for roasts or or a loin cut. The ideal amount of meat is probably somewhere between 1 and 3 pounds, depending on what else you put in with it. It has four temperature settings: three for cooking (high, low, and simmer), plus a fourth setting (warm) for once the countdown timer on you selected cook setting reaches zero. This is great for anyone who works days that are longer than the recommended cook times. Personally, I've found that the low setting corresponds well with what most cookbooks recommend for the low settings. (That said--it's rare that cookbook authors ever use the same slow cooker as you, so it's always helpful when you get a slow cooker to test the different settings to see how long it takes water to boil or to see the temperature after a certain amount of time; most cookbooks level set in the intro with what the author's expectations are so you can adjust times up or down accordingly.) The ceramic insert is very easy to clean, making the use of those "slow cooker" bags you see at grocery stores unnecessary.From a cooking perspective, the food I've made has turned out wonderfully so far. The user manual includes a few recipes, but I've never tried them. Some reviewers said they've been disappointed in the food they've made; frankly, that's because they're probably using inferior recipes that treat a slow cooker like a magic dumping pot where you just toss a a bunch of ingredients, push on, set the timer, and leave it alone. In fact, a slow cooker is a tool just like any other kitchen aid. Most tasty recipes do require some prep work. For example, when making a beef stew taking 10 or 15 minutes to brown even half of of the beef makes a huge difference in flavor. The same goes for caramelizing onions. And there are some ingredients that are just too delicate to stand up to 5 or 8 or 10 hours or cooking, no matter how low the heat--and therefore are best added between 20 and 60 minutes before you serve the meal. If you're looking to eliminate all prep work, well, I hate to burst your bubble but a slow cooker won't do that. Instead, it front loads the prep work so that any work immediately before your meal time is minimal (from 0 mins to 20 mins or so depending on the recipe).I've found two cookbooks pretty failsafe for even a novice slow cook user like myself. "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker" for small slow cookers has recipes that are already portioned out for slow cookers ranging from 1 qt to 3.5 qts like this one. I've also enjoyed "Slow Cooker Revolution" by America's Test Kitchen--it's by the experts, so you know the recipes are great; however, it's designed for using a larger slow cooker (5 qts to 7 qts), so you generally need to size recipes down to a half or a third (cooking times are generally the same)--if you're not comfortable with downsizing, then it's probably not the cookbook to start with.I hope you enjoy this slow cooker as much as I have. Should anything change in my experience with my slow cooker, I will update this review accordingly. Happy cooking!

I can't speak to the longevity of this slow cooker as I've only had it for two weeks. In that time, however, it has seen a lot of action. Many years ago my grandmother bought me a cheap slow cooker and gave me a few older used slow-cooker cookbooks. Everything came out tasting like the same chewy rubber, so I gave up and gave the slow cooker away. After a delicious meal at a friend's house recently that was made in a slow cooker I thought I would be willing to give them a try again. I did some research into what kinds of features I would like and what size would be best for our three-person family and hit upon this particular slow cooker. I have several other Cuisinart products in my kitchen and have been happy with their durability and quality so I was happy to purchase this brand again.The best features of the slow cooker, for me, are the timer, the variety of settings, and the size. The time allows you to set the slow cooker in 30 minute increments. After cooking on whatever setting you choose, it automatically switches to warm (not off!). This was a feature missing from my older slow cooker which made it imperative that I was home to turn it off at the correct time. I should also note that you do not have to use the timer. This slow cooker, unlike my other one, also has four heat settings: high, low, warm, and simmer. Although the manual says only to use warm for food that is already prepared, it is still a useful setting. As I said, it switches to this once it is finished cooking and keeps the food warm until you are ready to serve. There are only three people in our household, myself, my husband, and our infant daughter. We did not need an enormous slow cooker. I could see wanting one to make leftovers or feed a crowd, but neither of those were really issues for us. The size is more than adequate and it still makes more than enough for us to feed a few others if we had a party.The biggest perk of having one of these in kitchen is, as I have discovered coming into the hotter months, that I don't have to turn the oven on. I love pulled pork, braised meats, or just generally a hot meal, but having the oven on in the summer is miserable even with the AC blasting. This totally solves that problem! It is also very easy to use and attractive (as compared to some of the 1970s versions I have seen).Long story short, I am happy with this slow cooker. It's the perfect size and I can cook while staying cool.
Cuisinart Slow cooker
This slow cooker does it all … being rectangle allows you to fit just about anything in it … Highly recommended … this is my 2nd one and I use mine all the time
No display no power
The product never worked right from the beginning. You have to buy a 220/110v converter to run this gadget. The power consumption is 200 w.To be in the safe side I used a 350w converter but the cooker display never came on nor the cooker. Awaiting replacement / refund. Cost of the cooker was Rs.8229.

Works as it should
Really sturdy and works well!
I use it almost every single week. I love using the browning/sautée and going to slow cook right away on the same device, saves a lot of time and makes meal prep easy and fast. It's huge too!
