I love my Crock-Pot and use it about 3-4 times out of the week. I use it a lot for chicken and beef dishes. Put it on early in the morning on low and it's done by the time everyone's home from work. So easy for me to just cut and throw everything in there and forget about it. The meat comes out so tender and soft. There's so many different recipes you could use with the Crock-Pot, it's amazing. The only downside I would say is that it is kind of bulky and it does take up some counter space. Other than that, I love it and recommend it.

I'm an a huge Crock Pot mama. I've had many in my lifetime and this one is the best. We use it about 3x a week or more, from lasagna to chicken. Never disappoints.

I have this crock pot for years and I've used it hard! It's still working just as good as the day I bought it. The capacity of it is perfect for a bigger family. Overall just easy to use and always gives wonderful results!

I use it 4-5 times a week. I love how easy it is. Dump and go meals are awesome for a busy mom!

The lid came without rubber seal or vent hole like my 6 qt. did.

We were given this crock pot for Christmas, and it has worked great for us. I would recommend it to others who are looking for a larger size crock pot. Cooking Performance Food comes out great and delicious. Ease of Cleaning The inside part comes out easily, and it can be washed pretty easily by hand. Food will dry onto it pretty hard if you don't soak or wash it right away, but if you soak it or clean it right away, then it is pretty fast to clean. Ease of Use The slow cooker has high, low, and warm settings. The warm setting is very helpful if you're not sure exactly how long something will take to cook and you start it early to make sure it's done on time. You can start it early and if it finishes early, simply leave it on warm for a few hours and the food will stay good and at the right temperature. Durability We've only had it for a couple months, but it has held up fine so far. It seems to be well-built and designed to last for a good long time.

This was a birthday present to me from my Mom. I had slow cookers in the past, but never really got into using them all that much. As I get older and my time is now spread too thin with a hectic job, a fiancée who works a different shift than I do, and a wild toddler at home, there's just not enough time in the day to do everything and then always slave over the stove making supper. Needless to say, both of us have come to rely on the crockpot a lot over the last couple of years. I love that you can make almost anything in it, and there's tons of cookbooks and websites that offer plenty of recipes specifically for the crockpot. It's nice to be able to throw it in, go to work and come home to a hot meal without much effort, most of the time. Making spaghetti sauce that you can actually simmer all day so the flavors blend together without having to have a burner on your stove going for hours is really nice. It's also wonderful in the summer because it doesn't let off the heat that your stove would, so you can cook without making your AC work harder than normal. I just love everything about my crockpot, and there will never be a time that one isn't in my house. Time to Heat Mine is exceptional. It heats up almost instantly. Ease of Cleaning There has been a time or two when things have burned in the crockpot (the fiancée's doing of course! LOL) and even then it was a breeze to clean. It seems nothing ever sticks to it to the point where I have to actually use some muscle to scrub it clean. Durability I have had mine now for over two years and it still looks and cooks like it's brand new.

I love my crock-pot especially when the weather is cold because I can throw all my ingredients into it quickly, turn it on and go to work. When I get home, there is a nice warm meal waiting for me and my family. This crock-pot is eight quarts which is enough for dinner and leftovers the next day. The food comes out delicious as the ingredients cook slowly over the day releasing all the flavors. I make chili, stew, pulled pork, vegetarian chili and so many more dishes in it and they have all come out wonderful. It heats up quickly and cooks at an even temperature all day. The inside pot is heavy duty and it is very easy to clean as well. The outside just wipes off easily with a damp cloth or paper towel. It has a nice modern design as well and looks nice on a countertop while in use. It does take up a bit of room in a cabinet though but most of them do. I really recommend this crock pot. It does an excellent job, cleans up nicely and is priced reasonably.

The Crock-pot slow cooker is a great appliance to have and the size of 8 quarts is great because you can prepare a whole week's worth of food at one time. Slow cookers are great appliances because you can throw in all your ingredients without even cutting them very small, turn on the appliance and it will cook your food deliciously. Slow cooking times are what makes the dishes stand out. You won't get your food out and ready instantly, but if you spend a little time in the morning or a few hours before you can have a delicious meal ready when you get home. What I like about this slow cooker is the design of it. It's shape lets you throw in a whole chicken or piece of meat and it seems to cook it more evenly. It's easier to stir the ingredients too. I think this appliance in particular is an improvement over other slow cookers. Not only does it function well, it has a great design. I would recommend it for those without one. For those who do already own one this one is pretty much the same, though the larger size is a plus.

Best little slow cooker on the market for our family. Not only roomy, but cooks the food just right. I can put something in it before church and come home 4 hours later to stress free eating. Wonderful product, I would recommend it to everyone. Roasts fit in really good and it cooks stews and chili really good flavors on those! We have a family of 2 but when we have more to eat it is really a good way to hassle free cook anytime. Quick and easy to do. It heats up in great time and the cooking performance is superior to others I have had in the past. And it is much better than just a crock pot too. Roomier than one. Great for a single person who wants to save on meals and cook in it for themselves to have 2 or 3 meals in or for a larger family. Even makes it easy to take time for one another on a romantic supper. Just pop in and let it cook and you have more time with each other to spend watching a movie, or playing a game or whatever you need to do. Also is good for people with kids or Grandkids in sports. You can easily set it to cook, go to the game and then come back to a hot delicious meal in one. Time to Heat good time to take to heat.
