I was given a Crockpot 8 quart crockpot to product test. I was very impressed with this crockpot. It was so easy to use. It is programmable so you are able to pick the temperature and the length of time to cook. I used it to cook a whole chicken which worked very well due to the size. I also made baked potato soup in it. The look of this crockpot makes it look more high end. The stainless steel looks good and was easy to clean.
