This is perfect for football games and family bbqs. Its nice because the temperature goes from 200 to 450 degrees and you have the ability to sear your meat for what ever your gonna cook. Its great when we make roasts, chili and soups.Its large enough to make a very large roast .Very easy to clean the ceramic bowl comes out for easy cleanup and dishwasher safe.I like that it has durable metal handles and a silicon lid so its no hassle to travel with. Its defiantly one multicooker you can count on
