I love everything about this slow cooker! It has all the special features I am looking for in a slow cooker. I can steam, sauté/brown foods before slow cooking. I decided to make peppered steak and the food came out perfect!! The clean up was super easy. I like how there’s rubber handles on the side of the liner to prevent from getting burned. It also has the option of a timer to set when you’re not nearby. The liner is well made and a unique type of material. I look forward to using this everyday for wonderful meals for the family!
