New Mini Size Crock Pot Express Crock

A great smaller pressure cooker! I already have the 6 quart and found that once in awhile I needed two so this smaller size fit the bill.

Let me start by saying I am not a cook. I hardly cook at all but I would like to cook more. My crockpot broke a couple of years ago and I kept putting off getting a new one since I hardly used my old one. The first thing I noticed about this crockpot was how light it is compared to my old stoneware one. I remember how big and awkward it was to clean the pot the food was in, not the case with this one. The pot is light and a cinch to clean. I love the look of the stainless steel and black too. It's very chic and modern looking. I was overwhelmed at first by the many features on this cooker compared to my old slow cooker. I just started with what I knew, the slow cooker function. I love being able to set a timer and that it automatically switches to warm if no one turns it off when the timers done. I wanted to use the pressure cooker function but it scared me a little when it warned it could explode if you didn't follow the instructions right. I'm sure it would have been fine but I was chicken. I cooked a beef brisket in it first and then some shredded beef. Both turned out wonderful. I do wish it came with a see through lid so I could watch the food like my old one, but I love how the lid locks. Something my old slow cooker didn't do. Overall I was very impressed by the many functions and ease of use with this crockpot and I can't wait to make many more things in it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
