Received the cuisinart 7-Quart Multicooker as a Christmas gift from my daughter.  Just love the fact that I can sear & roast or sauté & slow cook, etc all in one pot, very convenient and easy to use.  Recommended the multicooker to friends who are presently using the traditional slow cooker. They were amazed at the convenience of using only one pot.  Thank you cuisinart for this  amazing multicooker and all your products.
