I love this crockpot! I had a 3 qt that was starting to cook really hot, so I needed a replacement. I got this one and it cooks really nicely! It's not really hot like some new ones and the Sauté feature is so, SO handy. It is completely programable (30 min increments) and automatically switches to warm. I was concerned about the non-stick pan bc I saw some reviews that had issues with it, but I've used mine about 10 times so far, and the coating is great. Highly recommend this pot!
