I've owned this slow cooker for about a month now and have used it numerous times. It's got plenty of capacity inside to cook almost anything that you want. I've done a whole large chicken, a small turkey, and a pretty good sized ham. No problems so far with anything that I've cooked in it. I've had no problems with it being too hot - no scorching or stuck food. The red light warning you that the cooker is on is a great feature. I like how easily the entire unit cleans up, both the crock itself and the aluminum exterior pretty much just wipe clean. I also like that the exterior is so lightweight. I stow my slow cooker on a high shelf in the pantry, and since the interior crockery part in all slow cookers is so heavy (and this is a LARGE cooker) this makes it easier for me to put it up on the shelf. The price was extremely good after comparing it with others of a similar size. All you have to do is cut up a few ingredients, throw them into the pot, turn it onto the high or low setting, and then come back later in the day, turn it off and eat a great meal. No watching the pot and stirring! Plus you can keep it warm in the pot. No mess. Little clean up. Good food. This is one of the better buys that I've made.
