I bought it for the size. My previous one cracked, so I thought I would try this one because you can sire on the stove top. When I finally used it a month later, I got everything ready for a stew, and it did not work. It was too late to exchange or return! I now distrust all Martha Stewart Completely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this slow cooker! The touch screen is really convenient, it's light weight unlike other ones I have had. Cooks fast but fast for a slow cooker and the metal base insert it's easy to wash. Whole thing cleans very easily, very easy to store, and hardly weighs anything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This crockpot is great!! We made some beef tacos and let the beef cook all day- it turned out perfect. The display and dial are very clear and easy to use, i didnt even need to read the instructions to figure it out. Also, theres so much space for big meals, perfect for large families!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This slow cooker exceeded my expectations. It’s very spacious, having never cooked in an 8QT slow cooker before it’s great having so much room and surface area. The blue or indigo color is a welcome addition of color in our otherwise white and black kitchen. Typical slow cookers feature a ceramic smooth cooking pan, while this one has a grey textured, non stick surface which could come in handy! I cooked chicken in it tonight and it heated evenly as when I temped the chicken, they were all around the same temperature. The digital screen is very nice, certainly don’t expect that from a crockpot but is nice to have. The menu is fairly intuitive to navigate as well and had a variety of settings including low, medium, high, simmer, and keep warm. The texture and feel of the exterior is also quite nice. Overall this has been a great addition to our kitchen and very satisfied with this slow cooker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This appliance is really pretty and sleek. I was very surprised by how light it is. My last slow cooker was very heavy which definitely impacted how frequently I pulled it out to use. The internal basin and the lid are dishwasher safe which is super important to me too. At this point my only star reduction is that the controls are a little confusing. I’m not sure how to turn it off without just unplugging it. I’m glad I didn’t throw away the instructions because it’s not super intuitive. But regardless, the meals I’ve made with it so far have been very good. I made shredded chicken for tacos, a whole “rotisserie” chicken. And then I made bone broth with the remnants of that whole chicken.
