The Greenpan Premiere 6 quart slow cooker is very useful in our kitchen. We love beef; hence, using this slow cooker to make the beef soft is definitely the bomb. It is easy to use because it is very straightforward - all you have to do it choose if you want to saute it or slow cook or steam! We love the fact that it is non-toxic and is easy to clean. It is a perfect addition to our kitchen appliances.
