I bought this for a birthday gift for my best friend. She has a busy life Coaching future figure skaters and a busy spouse as well. They needed something to help get dinner out faster. First meal was puled pork which was delicious. The next beef stew which was so tender. Her husband who hates to cook has set out the recipies for this week already and is cooking for the first time since they got married! A great product and value for the $$$.Easy to use and clean up is a snap! A real life& time saver for busy couples!
