Why change something when it works
I definitely recommend that you stay away from this product. I just purchased this product and was very disappointed with its performance. It cooked the food way too hot to the point of burning. This would have happened if I had'nt been home to watch it. It cooks too hot to be left unattended. It spattered the broth of my roast all over the counter and I had to fill it up with water twice to keep it from burning. The lid was horrible because it rattled from the broth boiling. It is very dangerous when chilren are around. It is too easy to get burnt from the splattering liquid. I am returning this white crock pot to the store for a full refund and going back to the old faithful model. I give this no star rating.
