My husband cannot stop raving about this amazing appliance. The retractable cord is “genius”. We’ve cooked ribs, brisket and chicken. Perfect size for family of five or larger. Our other crockpots just didn’t have enough size. His only call out to make this a 4.5 rating instead of 5 is that the metal broiler rack scratches the nonstick surface. Cuisinart  should Really re-think the compatibility of the accessories.
