I absolutely love this crockpot. I work full time and no longer need to rush home or have my teenager set the crockpot to keep warm while I’m gone as this one does it for you. You can schedule meals based on the recipe type that will be cooking and can even select the weight. Setting it manually is so easy with the hour and minute buttons and choosing the temperature setting. Meals come out perfect every time! It has definitely made cooking a whole lot easier!
