Our take
The NBC-73 is a 7 qt manual slow cooker whose strongest distinction is the Oogie Boogie licensed design. Select Brands documents a removable oval stoneware insert, tempered glass lid, and Low, High, and Warm settings. It suits shoppers who want that artwork and are comfortable managing a manual cooker. The historical Amazon record is not proof of a current exact NBC-73 offer, so this review uses a model search. This is source-based editorial analysis, not a hands-on test or a buyer-review summary.

Skip it if you need a countdown timer, automatic Warm transfer, or a confirmed current Amazon offer for the exact NBC-73 design.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The maker names the NBC-73 design separately from other Nightmare Before Christmas variants.
- The 7 qt oval insert gives one roomy cooking and serving vessel.
- The maker documents dishwasher-safe stoneware and a glass lid.
What to weigh up
- All three heat positions are manual; no timed program is documented.
- An exact current Amazon ASIN is not verified.
- The decorative design is a meaningful part of the purchase, not a cooking-performance advantage.

What the features mean for you
The NBC-73 identity is its own design
Select Brands calls this the Oogie Boogie 7-quart slow cooker, and the page imagery labels the product NBC-73. Its collection separately lists a full-character NBC-7 design and a Sketch Pattern NBC-71 design. That separation matters because artwork and suffix clues are not interchangeable evidence for a particular listing. The frozen Amazon title names Oogie Boogie, but the page was unreadable, so it cannot connect its historical ASIN to the maker's NBC-73. The review therefore keeps the maker model and historical marketplace record separate. Buyers should confirm the offered artwork and code in the current seller listing before ordering.
A single 7 qt oval pot defines the cooking space
The maker lists one removable oval stoneware insert with a nominal 7 qt capacity. That gives more usable volume than the 2 qt and 3 qt themed cookers elsewhere in this catalog, while remaining one continuous pot rather than separate buffet compartments. The shape is useful when the recipe or food piece is long, but capacity alone does not guarantee a serving count or fit for a particular roast. Measure a favorite recipe against the insert and allow room for ingredients and liquid. The 7 qt label describes the vessel; it does not establish an exact safe fill line or current package contents.
Manual settings leave timing to the cook
Select Brands documents Low, High, and Warm heat settings. The controls are user-selected, and the page does not describe a countdown, delayed start, or automatic switch from cooking to Warm. A buyer who wants to start a recipe and return later must account for its cooking time and decide what to do when it is finished. Warm is a separate position, not evidence of an automatic keep-warm stage. This makes the model an uncomplicated choice for people already comfortable with manual slow cookers, but a poor match for anyone who treats unattended timing as a hard requirement.
The insert and lid make cleanup more concrete
The maker identifies the removable stoneware insert as dishwasher safe and lists a tempered glass lid. Its page does not separately establish dishwasher care for the lid, so that remains unknown here. Removing the insert separates food contact cleanup from the electric base, but a full stoneware vessel still needs safe handling after cooking. The documentation does not establish stovetop or oven use for the insert; it should be treated as a cooker vessel unless the exact manual says otherwise. These boundaries keep the review useful without transferring care or compatibility claims from a different licensed design.
Buy the design only after checking the exact offer
The historical Amazon page returned an error during research, while the manufacturer source identifies a current NBC-73 design page. That gap is why the purchase button searches the exact descriptive name and code instead of linking to the old ASIN. On a seller page, verify that the design is Oogie Boogie, that the offered unit is 7 qt, and that the lid and stoneware are included. Do not assume the product is timed, that a particular electrical specification applies, or that the old renewed or historical condition label describes any current offer. A search listing may surface the different NBC-7 or NBC-71 cookers, so inspect the art and code before buying.
What else to compare
Compare the NBC-7 full-cast and NBC-71 Sketch Pattern versions only if their distinct artwork is preferred; use a verified plain manual model if design is unimportant.
