I love my All Clad pans, so I knew I could trust this slow cooker. It’s such great quality and I find it to be more versatile than the average crock pot. I love that I can put the main pot on the stove to brown meat and then set it into the slow cooker to braise. What a great feature. It’s also very attractive on the counter in the stainless steel and fits in with the rest of my kitchen appliance design. Highly recommend!!
