This is a beautiful crock pot. I really like the mushroom color. The first thing i made was chicken noodle soup and it was perfect in the crockpot. I like all the setting that it offers with 4,6, 8 or 10 hours on either low or high. I really like that warm is an option as well. The best part is that this comes with a smaller dip crock pot too. If you're someone that travels and brings food in crockpots then this is definitely the one for you. There's a locking feature to keep the lid on and tight.
