I received this product about a month ago to review. Since the weather is beginning to feel like Fall I decided this was the perfect time to experiment using the Black and Decker Multi-cooker with my pork chile verde recipe. There are only the two of us but I always cook large amounts and freeze part for later. The only complaint I have is that the sear/saute function did not get as hot and took a little longer to brown the vegetables and meat so next time I will start sooner on the preparation. That said the chile verde was just as good as cooking on the stove top and with the slow cooker function I could walk away as it continued to cook. Clean up was easy. I am anxious to try the roast function as well as the baking function. All in all this will be a great product n our home. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
