“It’s quite a bit larger than my decade-old slow cooker, but I love the fact that the insert for this is dishwasher safe. I cooked a batch of ribs in it with homemade barbecue sauce and onions. The ribs just fell off the bone. I might not be the greatest cook but I rock the Crock-Pot.” Sasha Grant, Mom of Alix, 12, Richmond, B.C.
