(More customer reviews)This slow cooker has liberated my cooking. I'm a 68 year old vegetarian guy who cooks as very little as I can get away with and still deliver healthy, very tasty food. I can't buy the things prepared which I need, as the market doesn't yet supply them. So I make up recipes which fold in the very healthy foods I want in my diet. I'd found no way to do that with whole grains and dried beans, each of which took an amount of time which was unacceptable to me.
Huzzah! My wife talked this very "late adopter" (I just got a cell phone, too) to buy this crock pot, when we found it on sale. Whole grain combined with dried bean dishes of all varieties are very quick to prepare (just throw everything in together, mix, turn on the heat and the timer and walk away for 5 to 10 hours) and very tasty the next morning when I wake up hungry for them.
I've used this about twice a week for the month that I have it. It does the above admirably. My wife made a beef stew in it which she found wonderful and, again, just the easiest to do. So, "so far, so good". Maybe I'll find some drawbacks as I get more experience. If so, I'll update this at the time. BUT for an old dog who very, very reluctantly learns new tricks, and is definitely not a typical cook (a noncook, really), this is a very functional new tool in my food life.
By the way, it's very simple to use and very quick and easy to clean up after use. Just be careful not to add very hot fluids to the heavy ceramic cooking vessel when its cold, or very cold fluids to it when it is hot, as I understand they can and do crack under such conditions. It is very heavy to lift when being cleaned, so one must use care not to drop it. But, basically, quick and easy both to use and to clean up after.
