Reviewer: Allen White,

We have a family of 7 and required a larger crock pot. This one is excellent as it holds twice what we could normally get in our old crock pot. As the exterior is stainless steel, it does get hot. But the upside is that the cooking time is about the same if not better than with the smaller pots. Definetely worth the investmest if you are cooker for larger groups.

It's great

DON'T LISTEN TO NEGATIVES THEY HAVE BUYERS REMORSE ITS A GREAT POT..I have had this crock pot for almost 2 years and use it weekly sometimes daily. I have never burnt food or had a blotched meal from it i don't know where any negative comments are coming from other than maybe there cooking on high all day long. I just recently took first place in a chili contest which was all cooked in this pot. I cook roast,chicken ribs and much more. My family is big i have 6 people to feed and this thing will cook enough for left overs. DON'T LISTEN TO NEGATIVES THEY HAVE BUYERS REMORSE ITS A GREAT POT

WITH MAXI-MATIC DINNER IS AUTOMATIC

Just made a wonderful pot roast with potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. It's in the high 90s and the humidity is high but here I am in the kitchen with my slow cooker cooking away and no heat from the stove or the oven! I love it! Family says it's the best ever. The roast came out fork tender and the veggies were just perfect ( thought they would get soggy after such a long simmer but no-way they were perfect. Next is a pork roast and chicken and dumplings! I've made pot roasts before and veggies all in the oven. Takes a long time and I would only make it in the winter. This was great - put the ingredients in, turn it to low and jump in the pool and get some sun, chat with the neighbors and then family comes over and we enjoy a fully cooked meal by 4:00 pm. Thanks for a great product.

Great Product For the Price

Reviewer: D. Schanz,

My husband purchased this slow cooker for me for Christmas. Our family of 7 had outgrown my previous crockpot and I had asked for something bigger. I couldn't believe the size of the thing when I took it out of the box! This crockpot will hold anything I could possibly want to cook in it. The shape makes it possible to put odd shaped pieces of meat in it without having to maneuver it all around like a round crockpot sometimes requires. Other reviewers have commented about different features they would like to see, but for the price, it has a good selection. The defrost feature is nice as it cooks frozen meat at a higher temperature until thawed (for safety reasons) and then drops the temperature down to low. (The owner's manual says you could also cook frozen meat on the high setting safely, but the defrost setting is handy if you want to really slow cook a piece of meat but don't want to have to bother remembering to turn the temp down when it is thawed.) Others have commented on it cooking too hot for a slow cooker. All I can say is that I have used it the same as I have always used a slow cooker and have had the same results. Most recipes call for 4 hours on high or 8 on low. I haven't had any problems using those guidelines. Some have commented on the cover not fitting tightly, but I haven't had that problem, though it is a set on fit and if moved to one side or the other, the cover will allow steam to escape. It is a nice glass cover and not plastic which in my mind is definitely a plus. I don't have any recipes that would require me to fill a slow cooker this size right to within an inch of the top, so I haven't experienced any problem with overflow. I've been very happy with this so far. It's a nice slow cooker with a nice price tag.

Great Product

I looked a long time for a large slow cooker with the "Auto" setting that switches from high to low when the contents reaches cooking temperature.
