The Nesco 18 quart roaster with porcelain cookwell is a real quality well built product! We used this to do our Christmas dinner and it worked flawlessly! We had just bought a another brand from a big-box store that we used for Thanksgiving which worked all right but the handle was cracked and falling off after just one use so we returned it and decided to try this one from Wayfair ... sure glad we did...we love the color ..goes with a red kitchen perfectly, heats up real well, and we really like the way it heats around the outside of the food and cooks the food so evenly ..everything came out tender.. we couldnt say anything better about it. Now we know why all the good ratings! You cant go wrong with this Appliance. Recommended!
