Lasagna that cooks flat
Round slow cookers force layered recipes into awkward stacks that cook unevenly. The shallow 3-inch-deep rectangular crock spreads lasagna, enchiladas, and breakfast bakes in even layers so centers finish with the edges.

Description
MegaChef 3.5-Quart Casserole Slow Cooker with Locking Lid in Cream
At a Glance
- What it is: A 3.5-quart slow cooker with a shallow rectangular casserole crock built for lasagna, dips, and layered bakes.
- Travel-ready lid: A latch-and-hook system locks the tempered glass lid down for spill-free potluck runs.
- Three-setting dial: High (190-212°F), Low (170-190°F), and Warm (145-165°F) cover cooking and serving.
- Removable stoneware crock: Oven-safe to 350°F, dishwasher safe, and pretty enough to serve from.
- Certified and covered: ETL certified, with MegaChef's 90-day limited warranty.
Round slow cookers force casseroles into a mound; this one gives them the shape they were written for. The MegaChef MGSL-5000-C spreads 3.5 quarts across a shallow rectangular stoneware crock, so lasagna layers lie flat, queso stays stirrable edge to edge, and breakfast bakes cook evenly. When it is time to leave the house, latch the glass lid, grab the carry handles, and plug back in on Warm when you arrive.
Key Features
- Casserole-shaped cooking: The roughly 11.5 x 19.5-inch, 3-inch-deep crock lays out layered dishes flat for even cooking.
- Lock it and go: The latch-and-hook lid system clamps the tempered glass lid tight for the drive to the party.
- Dial in the heat: High reaches 190-212°F for cooking, Low holds 170-190°F, and Warm keeps food serve-ready at 145-165°F.
- Crock does triple duty: The removable stoneware dish goes into a 350°F oven, onto the table, then into the dishwasher.
- Efficient by design: Draws just 270W on High, 230W on Low, and 150W on Warm.
- Carry handles: Sturdy handles steady the 12.6-pound cooker from counter to car to buffet line.
- ETL certified: Independently tested to North American electrical safety standards.
Before You Buy
- No timer, no programs: It uses a manual 3-position dial and will not switch itself to Warm; turn the dial yourself when cooking is done.
- Built for casseroles, not stews: The shallow 3-inch-deep crock is the right tool for lasagna, dips, enchiladas, and breakfast bakes. Deep stews, whole chickens, and roasts belong in a deep round cooker.
- Runs hot outside: The exterior and underside get very hot in use; set it on a heat-safe surface and keep hands on the handles.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Is the crock removable?
Yes. The stoneware crock lifts out of the base and is oven-safe up to 350°F, so you can finish or reheat dishes in the oven.
Is it dishwasher safe?
The stoneware crock and tempered glass lid are dishwasher safe. The heating base wipes clean; never immerse it in water.
Does it have a timer?
No. The manual dial has High, Low, and Warm and stays where you set it, so switch to Warm yourself when cooking is done.
What are the temperature settings?
High cooks at 190-212°F, Low at 170-190°F, and Warm holds food at a serve-ready 145-165°F.
Can I make deep stews or roasts in it?
The 3-inch-deep casserole crock is designed for flat, layered dishes like lasagna, dips, and bakes. Use a deep round slow cooker for stews, whole chickens, and roasts.
Care & Use▼
Set the base on a dry, heat-safe surface with clearance on all sides; the exterior and underside get very hot during cooking. Cook on High or Low, then turn the dial to Warm to hold food at serving temperature. For transport, latch both hooks over the lid and carry by the handles. Let the crock cool before moving it to cold water to protect the stoneware. Crock and lid go in the dishwasher; wipe the base with a damp cloth once cool and unplugged, and never immerse it.

The potluck workhorse
Built for the car ride
One hard brake can turn a back seat into a marinara scene. The latch-and-hook lid system clamps the tempered glass lid tight, and carry handles keep the 12.6-pound cooker steady door to door.
One crock, three jobs
Casseroles usually mean one dish to bake, another to serve, a third to store. The removable stoneware crock goes from this base into a 350°F oven, straight to the table, then into the dishwasher.

Why a casserole cooker?
Against the round slow cooker
A deep round crock stacks lasagna noodles into a mound. This shallow 11.5 by 19.5 inch casserole shape lays them flat, so layered bakes, dips, and cobblers cook evenly edge to edge.
Against the casserole dish and foil
Foil-covered dishes arrive at potlucks lukewarm and sloshed. The latch-and-hook lid locks down for the drive, and the Warm setting holds 145-165°F once you plug in at the party.
Against the programmable multicooker
Multicookers ask you to navigate menus for what a dial does better. Three settings, High, Low, and Warm, cover slow-baked mains and party holding without a single button combo to memorize.
Is the crock removable?
Yes. The stoneware crock lifts out of the base and is oven-safe up to 350°F, so you can finish or reheat dishes in the oven.
Is it dishwasher safe?
The stoneware crock and tempered glass lid are dishwasher safe. The heating base wipes clean; never immerse it in water.
Does it have a timer?
No. The manual dial has High, Low, and Warm and stays where you set it, so switch to Warm yourself when cooking is done.
What are the temperature settings?
High cooks at 190-212°F, Low at 170-190°F, and Warm holds food at a serve-ready 145-165°F.
Can I make deep stews or roasts in it?
The 3-inch-deep casserole crock is designed for flat, layered dishes like lasagna, dips, and bakes. Use a deep round slow cooker for stews, whole chickens, and roasts.
How fast will it ship and can I return it?
Orders ship to the 48 contiguous states and process within 2 business days. If it is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to return unused items in the original packaging.

Size perfect for casseroles
Just received this last week and have used it twice already. Once for a pork sausage, diced potatoes and egg dish. Turned it on low just before bed and turned it on warm after 7 1/2 hours. Had it 2 hours later... perfect! Next a Chili casserole. Turned it on high for 6 hours, warm for 2 1/2 hours. Again... perfect! Delivery was also 2 days faster than quoted.
