Easy to use

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I use a 10qt crockpot every day and this ius the BEST!!!

Unfortunately this cooker is not compatible with UK voltage. Not sure why it is being advertised in this country. Now have the inconvenience of returning it to the US.It's in a very large box so have had to ask for help to get it to a courier as was told it could not be collected from home. Not to mention all the packaging and paperwork involved, I am also very disappointed. A refund has been promised but this was all so unnecessary.

Our older 7-quart crockpot just didn't have the capacity for some stews - we kept getting perilously close to the top! This slow cooker with its 10-quart capacity solves that with 1.5"-2" to spare. Additionally, the removable inner pot is very lightweight relative to common ceramic pots, and that makes handling it MUCH easier. The inner non-stick surface is easily cleaned by hand in a couple of minutes. Best, the full metal pot can be moved to the sink (note 8-quarts of stew weigh about 16 lbs) and surrounded by cold water which quickly cools the stew or soup - much faster than first filling plastic containers. When the first batch of cooling water gets warm, just transfer the pot to the other side of the sink (or countertop) and let the warm water drain away, then fill the sink again with cold water. Repeat as needed. We can cool 8-quarts of hot stew to about room temperature in 40 minutes, ready to transfer to refrigerator or freezer containers. We have made two batches of stew so far and I am exceptionally pleased with this slow cooker. I like having an LED 'ON' light, too - most crockpots don't have one.FYI, I measured the power consumption as: Warm 18W, Low 180W, High 270W. We mostly use Low overnight. The outside surface of the slow cooker does get uncomfortably HOT and this is the only minor negative - I wish they would add more insulation and/or a double-wall air gap to keep the outside cool.
