We absolutely loved this show cooker! We've had it about 6 months, but while cooking our Mississippi Pot Roast last night, about 7 hours into cooking, there was a loud pop. I went to go check what made the sound and the pot was leaking all the juices into the metal area and I took the roast out and the pot was literally snapped into 2 pieces. Really frustrating considering we haven't had it that long, and we got the more expensive one, hoping for years and years of use.
