Oster DiamondForce Nonstick Slow Cooker
Made by Oster · tested on the Simmer & Set bench
The Oster DiamondForce Slow Cooker delivers reliable, no-fuss cooking with the added bonus of an easy-clean nonstick interior.
Hands-on overview
The Oster DiamondForce Slow Cooker brings a smarter, more durable approach to everyday slow cooking, built around a ceramic pot reinforced with diamond-infused nonstick technology. This coating is designed to resist scratches and wear far better than standard nonstick surfaces, meaning stews, roasts, and braises release cleanly without sticking, even after repeated use with metal utensils. The interior pot heats evenly across its surface, helping ingredients cook thoroughly whether you're preparing a hearty pot roast, a batch of chili, or a slow-simmered soup. Its sturdy construction and reinforced surface give the appliance a longer lifespan than many competing models, making it a practical investment for home cooks who use their slow cooker frequently.
Functionality is straightforward and geared toward convenience, with multiple heat settings that allow you to choose between low, high, and warm depending on your recipe and schedule. The programmable timer takes the guesswork out of long cooking sessions, automatically shifting to a warm setting once the cook time is complete so meals don't overcook or dry out while you're away from the kitchen. The tempered glass lid lets you monitor progress without releasing heat and moisture, helping maintain consistent cooking conditions throughout the process. Handles on both the cooker base and the lid are designed to stay cool to the touch, adding a layer of safety when checking on food or moving the unit.
Cleanup is one of the standout advantages of this model, thanks to the DiamondForce coating that prevents baked-on residue from clinging to the pot's surface. The removable stoneware insert can go from stovetop-adjacent counter prep straight to the table, and its dishwasher-safe design further simplifies post-meal cleanup for busy households. The overall footprint is sized for family-style cooking, offering enough capacity for weeknight dinners, meal prepping, and slow-cooked dishes for gatherings, while still fitting comfortably on most kitchen counters. Combining durability, ease of cleaning, and dependable slow-cooking performance, the Oster DiamondForce Slow Cooker positions itself as a reliable workhorse for anyone looking to simplify meal preparation without sacrificing quality or flavor.
