If you like slow-cooker recipes, but hate cleaning the crock pot, this is the perfect slow cooker for you.

This 4-quart slow cooker can make a good size family dinner, and gives the same results as the crock pot type without the cleanup hassle. It is very compact to store since the lid can be flipped over for storage. For preparation the night before, this cooker is ideal, since the pan and lid easily fit in the refrigerator. It is also convenient to store any leftovers and reheat in same pan. The nonstick coating means the pan rinses clean with no effort. The pan can be used as an oven roaster, as well.

There are no disadvantages unless you need a huge capacity. This one is large enough for a big pot roast.

I had one of these for almost 15 years and loved it. Getting ready to buy #2. As mentioned in the other review, much less bulky to store than the crock version, and I always stuck both the pan and the lid in the dishwasher with the old one. This can degrade the non-stick surface a bit, but otherwise I had no problems. Good size for a 2-3 lb potroast.

I have had this slow cooker for several years and use it at least a couple of times a week. The metal pan is great because you can put it on the stove to sautee or brown. It holds a lot of food...plenty for my family of eight. The glass lid also doubles as a serving dish, and can be put on the cooker upside down so that it isn't so tall in the refrigerator.

It's really easy to clean and easy to transport. If mine ever wears out, I will order another one!

I have two of these and was going to buy one for my son-but I found one at a local store for 19.99 almost half of your price!
Sorry. As far as the reviews I have read, owners are on the money
with thier 5 star ratings.

I have one of these - it's what I brought to college some 20 years ago instead of a hot pot. We made pancakes on the griddle, we made rice krispies in the pot and mashed them into the glass lid, we made mac and cheese... and clean-up was always easy. I still have it, but the heat element is a little finicky. I can't believe the newer models don't have the same glass lid, because with this style of lid the lid can rest on the griddle base and the food kept warm.
