Needed a new reliable crock pot and this does that and more! Excited to see all the things this can do! So far have only done a pork loin on slow cook and it turned out really well. I like that it has its own timer and a digital display and I think it's cute that it says hi and bye to you when turned on or off. It's really big so it does require some significant counter space. But I am hoping it will last for years to come!
