The Swing and Serve slow cooker is fantastic. I love cooking a entire meal at once using different times. A great example of this is cooking meatballs, sauce and pasta. I left the meatballs while at work and when I came home I turned on put the sauce in one arm and pasta in another. Clean up is easy, just put the pots in the dishwasher/lids and done. I would definitely recommend this for families and tailgating.
