I received this as a product to review from Spectrum Brands. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this! You can saute, sear, bake, roast, and slow cook! My little oven is awful, as it is electric burners, so they smoke and smell sometimes. Well now that I have this and can saute my veggies, I do not have to heat the stove-top up everyday! I would highly recommend this cooker, especially to moms on the go. Just pop in all ingredients, turn on, and go. Dinner is always hot and ready to serve when you come home from work! All around just a wonderful product!
