This is the best Crockpot I have ever used. The features are wonderful. I love being able to do manual or the My Time feature. I have made ribs, chicken tortellini soup,chili and stovetop chicken casserole in this Crockpot. All my recipes have came out perfectly. I love how can i can set it to poultry,meat,veggie or soup and say what time I want the meal done. It truly is  a fix it and forget it meal.My food is ready at the time requested, not over or under cooked. It's great for my family of four.
