I got a (pink) 6 qt slow cooker and was so shocked when it arrived because it's SO LIGHTWEIGHT! I had to stop using my old heavy one where everything stuck to it, impossible to wash clean, and my hands would go numb and hurt to where I dropped it (arthritis).
Not only is my green life slow cooker super lightweight but it is also much more powerful so instead of "High" setting I can now use the "Medium" heat setting and get even juicier and more tender meats. I'm so pleased with this cookware that it's been the only thing that I've used since I bought it over 6 months ago, except for my complementary rice cooker.
The other features it comes with (that regular crock pots don't have) is the non-stick coating and the non-slip handles. I can now sear and brown meats, onions, etc. before I add some half & half or other choice of liquid and there is no need to use any type of oil or fat to fry in first unless you prefer that. I've used a tiny bit of virgin olive oil for onions or eggs.
I cannot recommend this high enough! Oh, I forgot to mention that you actually sear/fry on your stove top as usual and then put the insert pot into the base. Amazing. I came on here to see if they sell extra inserts because it would be so convenient to be able to prep and have the next one ready to go.
