Overview
The Nesco SC-150-47 is a 1.5 quart oval slow cooker built for small portions rather than family-sized batches. It suits two person meals, dips and party appetizers more than weeknight roasts, with a removable ceramic crock and tempered glass lid.
- 1.5 quart removable ceramic crock
- Clear tempered glass lid
- 3 heat settings including keep warm
- Stay cool handles and knob
Who it's for
Suits singles, couples, dorm rooms and anyone who regularly serves hot dips or appetizers at parties. Less useful for a household that regularly cooks for four or more, since 1.5 quarts fills fast.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers like the size for two people and for warming dips and appetizers, and several praised the oval shape for holding two chicken breasts or stuffed peppers. The low setting runs hotter than its name implies for some, one buyer's indicator light never lit up, and another wished it had a timer.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Oval crock fits two chicken breasts or stuffed peppers side by side
- Compact footprint suits small counters
- Stay cool handles and knob for safe handling
- No built in timer
- Low setting runs hotter than labeled on some units
- One buyer found the power indicator light did not illuminate
Performance notes
Three settings, High, Low and Auto keep warm, cover most small-batch cooking, and the power indicator shows when the unit is on. Multiple buyers found the low setting runs hotter than expected, cooking a frozen roast in under three hours on high, so food benefits from earlier checking than the dial alone suggests.
