Greetings,
I have been asked to find an AllClad slow cooker (Please don't tell me to
get a Rival or some such, this is a specific request)
Of course my first look was to Amazon.com but they say it has been
discontinued, though it was featured on The CBS Early Show quite recently.
Looking at other sources it seems to me that there are two models, one
has the blue time panel at the top of the control panel and the other it is
in the center. Does anybody out there know if one model is newer or what
other differences there may be between them. The CBS show (sponsored by
Williams Sonoma) has the panel in the center but the only local one I can
find has the panel at the top.
Thanks,
Doug.

P.S I have a Hamilton Beach, at the moment it is cooking Lamb Shanks from
that CBS recipe.

I checked the All-Clad web site and can find no mention of slow cookers.

Apparently it's a Williams-Sonoma exclusive... there is one on their site.

For $100 bucks that better be one HELL of a slow cooker!

I have a 7 quart oval Hamilton Beach. I love it! It has no timer (big
whup!) but it has a warm, low and high setting. It also came with a thermal
carrying case and big heavy bands to wrap from the cooker handles up around
the knob on the lid to ensure no spills when transporting already cooked
food to another place, like for a pot luck or a party. I paid under $40 for
it.

I have an e-mail friend who bought one of the All-Clad slow cookers for a
friend so I knew it had to be out there somewhere. She had an opportunity
to compare the All-Clad to her Rival Smart Cooker (or whatever those things
are called) and she liked her Rival better.

I have the Rival model, no different from all-crap's except for the
handles, and half the price. If I wanted superlative ethetics the
Cusinart beats them all hands down.

You really haven't looked... search <all-clad slow cooker>

Once again I don't see paying for the "name" when you can get (yes Rival or
Hamilton Beach has a name, but not the hoity-toity name) for much less. The
ceramic crock insert will keep the food warm for quite a while once it's
turned off, even without a special setting telling it to do so (and you have
to keep it plugged in for that, no?). I really like the lined thermal carry
case and the sealer bands for holding the lid on my 7qt. model, in case I
have to take it on a road trip before I plug it back in The approx. $40
Hamilton Beach gets my vote over the (untested by me) $100 All-Clad for
value and features.
