This is the biggest crockpot I've ever owned. I was able to cook 6 pounds of chicken legs and thighs with room to spare. The crockpot is made for traveling, due to its locking feature and anti-spill lid. It also came with a small sauce/dip crockpot. It allows you to choose between 4,6,8 or 10 hour cooking time. And it switches to warm mode once the cooking is done. It cooked well and I am pleased with my new crockpot!
