West Bend 87966 Versatility Slow Cooker

Cooking pot doubles as serving dish for added convenience

Top Positive Review

The last two West Bend slow cookers with Teflon coated inside only lasted about a year because of the Teflon peeling. I have never put the pots in the dishwasher so we can??t blame it on that. The last 2 slow cookers were oval shaped. The two I had before those had rectangle shaped pots and I never had problems with the Teflon coating. I paid around $100 for the two I had issues with and they came from ACE Hardware. I love these Westbend slow cookers and have used them over 40 years. I hope you never discontinue them! They are getting hard to find in the stores – had to order it from Amazon and it was shipped from a Bed, Bath, and Beyond store. Why BB&B don??t display them in their stores is beyond me.

Don’t buy it! After two uses the coating came off the and the seller refuses to return it! TK SHIP due to return time limit. it was purchased April 19 2019 and slow shipped over a week to ship and recieve, return claim denied end of May 31 2019. Its not like you get it and immediately use it daily. Think about that if purchasing anything from this seller.
I recently purchased this for my mother who is 80 years old. Who decided an upgrade was needed due to the outdated Teflon coating and recent health news surrounding it. I bought this thinking that the quality I came to know from the West bend slow cookers she and my grandmother used for over forty years that still work would be the same. I was disappointed to find out that It is not. The coating is peeling off after just two uses. That can and will get into the food and also cause who knows what health problems. No abrasives or chemicals were used on it just dish soap and warm water. I will now take this up with manufacturer. I rarely give a negative review but this deserves it and so does the slow shipper!

Can one use the cover in the oven and on the stovetop?
Answer: Yes you can. I usually brown my meat on the stovetop using the container, then add what I want and put in the oven.

Can i buy a replacement heating tray?
Answer: Possibly on eBay.

Is the inside non stick?
Answer: Yes, the inside is non-stick. I used my previous West Bend cooker for what seemed like 20 years and the base finally looked so bad (still worked) that I wanted a new one. 🙂

What are the interior dimensions?
Answer: 10 12 x 7 x 4 34 deep
