Stay or Go 33164 Cooker & Steamer

I was given a Rival programmable 6qt over the holidays. Cooked way too hot. Did some research and decided on this slow cooker. I decided to do an experiment.

I have this in the stainless steel color. I absolutely love it! It is important to know that you can only use the hinges when traveling, not while cooking. It's controls are very basic with high, low, and, heat. But its just what i was looking for.
