The crock pot worked out well for my husband and I. I was able to cook 2.5 lbs of boneless chicken. I was also able to fit a 1.5 lb pork roast. There aren't any bells or whistles on this pot. It's pretty basic and easy to use with really only 4 cooking options and a warm setting. Overall it cooked well, but nothing fancy. Disclaimer, I received this crock pot for free to try in my home before writing this review.
