I would not recommend this product because it was not working properly and no place to have the steamed air out and all of the surrounding area of the cooker is hot while cooking and the two handles were once missing and then I have no idea why they disappeared and showed again. BTW, the instructions of the slow cooker is offensive to disability personals. I wanted to return the product but has no way to do so, and I want all of you who read this to know that I am a disabled personal probably because I never say something after I was treated this way.
