First, the slow cooker is nice and simple to use. No fancy electronics to cause SNAFUs, which is a good thing.  The size of the cooker is great because there is no problem fitting a LARGE piece of brisket into it.  Can't wait to try a huge roast in it next.  I was concerned that the baked on food would be hard to clean afterwards, but it wasn't that big of a deal.  All in all it's a good simple BIG slow cooker and I would definitely recommend it to people who need to cook large meals.
