It's been years since I've had a slow cooker.  I made a vegetable curry and used the multiple program setting.  Since I'm so out of practice, it took a little trial and error to figure out how long to set the cooking time, but the the food came out perfectly. I have a dump cake in it right now, and it's wonderful to "bake" without heating up the kitchen.  This slow cooker is easy to program, and it's nice to have the option of setting x hours at high and x hours at low.  As a vegetarian, I'm looking forward to being creative.
