When I pulled this out of the box, I was in love with the color!! And I have a family of 6 so this was the perfect size for our meals to fit in. The first thing I made was crockpot pizza. With there being so much cheese and noodles in the dish, there is usually a crusted mess on my little slow cooker. I was expecting that on this and when I went to clean it out, there was none stuck to the sides!!! I was in love with that idea. Not only is it easier to cook with but also easier to clean!! Bonus! I only have one tiny complaint about this product, the lid wobbled a bit when we put it on. Other than that, this slow cooker is amazing!!
