When I first opened the box I noticed that my crockpot had a dent in it! The dent is on the crockpot base, I was so sad! I can’t tell if it was manufactured like that, or if it was dropped during shipping. (I have included pictures of the dent.) Nonetheless, I still used the crockpot. Tonight I made chicken and dumplings in it. I like how the screen lights up blue. I also enjoy how the handles lock into place for travel! Just be careful because the base of the crockpot gets very very hot! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
