I was given this product free in exchange for my honest opinion.First off, I have always wanted a larger slow cooker and this one takes the cake! It has multiple settings and large capacity. I made sauce for lasagna and allowed it to simmer all day! That sauce was a hit! I also made a pork rump roast for pulled pork, and cooked it low and slow! With the capacity I was able to feed a crowd of 12 with leftovers! Yes I am a very proud owner, and will use it for many more things!
