While KitchenAid is most famous for their stand mixers, they also offer a number of other superb kitchen appliances including several outstanding KitchenAid slow cooker models. The most popular KitchenAid slow cooker model is the versatile and attractive KSC700. The KitchenAid’s KSC700 is the slow cooker solution for home chefs who will gladly invest in quality, state-of-the-art kitchen equipment. With its seven-quart capacity, buffet setting, and attractive appearance, it’s also indispensable for casual entertaining.
The Ultimate KitchenAid Slow Cooker – The KSC700
Think of the possibilities built into the KSC700 slow cooker! With its 400-watt heating element controlled by an exceptionally accurate and responsive electronic power management system, its five programmable cook and serve heat settings–high, low, simmer, warm, and buffet–and its ease of use, this slow cooker is practically a daily necessity. Have a slow-cooked dinner maintained at the peak of flavor when the family gathers after a day of work and school.
Are you hosting a big game day? Keep chili, queso, pulled pork, or a hearty stew warm and tasty from pre-game show to the final buzzer. When the lid is lifted for serving, the KSC700 knows to increase power to quickly recover the proper food temperature and then reduce power to maintain it. Just add a big-screen TV and you have a play-off party!
The KitchenAid slow cooker owners’ manual includes recipes for delectable main dishes, side dishes, desserts, snacks, and hot beverages that feature its auto-programming capabilities. These delicious recipes demonstrate the freedom this programmable slow cooker offers from from the heat-and-eat limitation of an ordinary slow cooker.
There are a few simple things to keep in mind when choosing and using the KSC700. The silicone “seal” on the glass lid isn’t actually a seal at all. The purpose of the seal is to protect the edges of the glass and the surface of the ceramic liner. A slight gap between the seal and the liner is normal and necessary to avoid creating a vacuum inside the ceramic liner.
The ceramic liner is quite fragile. To avoid cracking, observe precautions outlined in the owner’s manual. Avoid adding cold liquid or frozen food after the liner is hot. Always have at least a quart of liquid in the crock during use. Leave the ceramic liner in the cooker shell until it has cooled before removing to clean.
Other features of the KitchenAid KSC700 not found in ordinary slow cookers include an extra wide rim on the liner and large handles on the lid and housing for easy gripping. Other outstanding features of this KitchenAid slow cooker include an attractive stainless steel finish, slightly rectangular shape for cooking large fowl or roasts, and–most importantly–the ability to maintain food temperature within the USDA-recommended range.
