Crock-Pot 6 Quart Cook & Carry Programmable Slow Cooker with Digital Timer, Stainless Steel (CPSCVC60LL-S), Ideal for Portable Cooking

I just got this plus the croc-put liners (ordered ones that were correct size). Everything came out great, love the timer, it heats up well. So, if you ever bought one that you put on low and nothing happens this one works.Plus, the timer and warm section is a bonus. But, as far as I know you cannot switch it from low temp to warm without manually doing so.I really suggest getting the liners for easy cleanup. If you're busy taking care of many others or want to spend les time cleaning for yourself, get the liners. The ones that are BPA friendly. Just make sure you get the correct size liner, and oval.UPDATE: I have been using a dutch oven for years cooking chuck roast, I am extremely picky. The crock-pot made it so perfectly tender. I cooked it on low for around 9 hours, added in some spices. This was a pretty big roast (Costco, dad got it). Anyway, best one I have made.... cannot wait for parental units to enjoy.I also love the way the lid is completely silled to the container, at least with my model. It attaches to the handles.

UPDATE: Feb. 17, 2015. I have used this Crock-Pot a dozen times since writing my review ... and it gets better and better! I've made casseroles, breakfast dishes, beans, roast, ribs, Mexican food dishes - all just great (including the chicken/rice recipe with the rice cooked in the Crock-Pot)! The stoneware liner is easy to clean and food is NOT sticking to the sides or bottom. Warmer feature is super and it does not appear to be too hot. I found that when a cooking time range is given, such as 6-8 hours, I should probably go with the low or middle part of the range. For someone who actually HATES to cook, I'm becoming a regular Betty Crocker, and even experimenting, because cooking is SO easy with this appliance. I'm SO glad I made this purchase! Now ... back to your regular programming with the original review ...----------------I have an old Crock-Pot and it still works, but is too small for a roast, etc. So I got this one for two reasons: 1) bigger, 2) can program the time and temperature setting. I've only used it twice and, at this point, I am extremely satisfied. Should things change, I most definitely will update.The programmable feature is really nice because you can set the cooking temperature on LOW or HIGH and set the cooking time in 30-minute increments all the way up to 20 hours. Some other "programmable" slow cookers have a few time/temp combination options but they are quite limited - this one gives you total control. Once the programmed cooking time is finished, the Crock-Pot automatically turns to "warm." The controls are touch (instead of turn dials) and very user-friendly. The user manual is small, but complete, and includes a couple recipes.My first dish: Breakfast Casserole (photo attached). Very tasty and the Crock-Pot worked perfectly. There was some extra browning around the edges so I probably need to adjust the cook time a bit ... and you'll have to do that with any slow cooker. Second dish: Hot Sausage Stew. Again, the appliance worked perfectly and the "warm" feature is great because the food finished cooking before I was ready to eat. Keep in mind: you may consider the "warm" temp to be hotter than you expect but that's because of government regulations, not the Crock-Pot.This Crock-Pot holds a LOT of food! I'm cooking for just me so I put some in the fridge and the rest in smaller containers in the freezer. And since I truly hate to cook, this is the best way to keep me out of the kitchen but still have good food to eat.The food I prepared didn't stick to the stoneware and it was super easy to clean. Just hot, soapy water and rinse. You can also put the stoneware and the glass lid in the dishwasher. I will probably never use the "carry" function but I did try the locked lid and the rubber seal is tight and should make it easy to take your dish to the potluck, etc. Just don't lock the lid while you're cooking!Bottom line: the ability to truly program the cooking time/temp ... and the "warm" function ... make this my top kitchen appliance (right along side my George Foreman grill). I'm actually looking for slow cooker recipes to try - and I can't believe I'm doing that! My old Crock-Pot is at least 15 years old and that's why I chose this brand. Because of the "computer" that allows the programming, I know the chances of it lasting that long are probably slim because the fancier you get, the more chances you have of something going wrong. But the price is right and, so far, I'm very happy with my purchase. Amazon shipping was fast and the slow cooker was packed in its original box with plenty of protection.

I love my new crockpot! I like the stainless steel appearance and the fact you can program a specific time to the half hour. I have only used the low setting because the food cooks pretty fast.

The locking lid is fantastic! I can take my crockpot anywhere. It cooks a little bit faster and hotter than my old crockpot, so I’ve had to make some adjustments to a lot of my favorite recipes. But I think this is a wonderful crockpot!

Upon arrival, I knew this thing would be good. But I didn't know how good. The size of the slow cooker was a tremendous upgrade since it was easily 50% or more of an increase than my old one. I loved being able to set a time on it to cook and it automatically set it to keep the dish warm after.But then it showed me how good it really can be... By overcooking my food in the warm setting. This is definitely my fault for not attempting to use this outside of a normal 9-5 work day so I could come home with a cooked dinner, but boy does thing use some heat!Quality: Great quality in the build. As always, the ceramic bowl is wonderful from CrockPot. It maintains the traditional oval shape, so there is not curveballs to worry about when preparing to get things going.Pros: Great size, Has a timer, Cooks foodCons: Might be a little too hot in the warm settingOverall: This thing is great and I recommend getting it on sale if you are not hard up for one in the near future.

The best crockpot. I use it so often and it never fails to cook delicious meals. I actually purchased the exact one for my mom for Christmas

Got for Christmas made cooking easier.

This is the second time I have purchased this crock pot. It is the perfect thing to use on a busy day because it has a timer function. I bought another one without this feature and it didn't last long!
