Crock-Pot SCCPRP500-LTD 5-Quart Round Programmable Slow Cooker, Limited Edition Pattern
How To Use a Crock-Pot
Works well
I've used this crock pot a couple of times now and I have been very pleased with it. I like the warming function when it's done cooking.
Several reviewers claimed that the crock pot runs hot. Something that you have to keep in mind--as is noted in the directions--is that you have to fill the crock pot at least half full. If you don't put enough in the crock pot it will run hotter than normal. The first time I used the pot, I only filled it about 1/4 full and the liquid did boil, as other reviewers have mentioned. Lesson learned; I have an old, 3-quart crock pot that I use if I know the recipe won't fill this pot adequately.
I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

So far, so good!
I've had this a couple months now, and have used it half a dozen times. So far there are no complaints, it's easy to use (which was important - my cooking skills are lacking) and the pot is a good size (not too big when only being used for one or two people). Even better, I can cook extra, and stick it in the fridge for leftovers!
I will say that it cooks a little faster than the times given in the manual. What worked for me was adding additional liquid before I left the house, and making sure the crock-pot was set on one time setting below what was recommended. If I needed to, I could just turn it up when I got back home, but I haven't had to do that yet.
For the price, it's a great buy, and has a lot more features than any other crock-pot I've seen in this price range.
** UPDATE 8/11/2013 **
Had this for more than a year now, and I still love it. I use it pretty regularly and it still works great. The cook time is still a little fast,...
Great deal on a large crockpot.
When my wife told me she was looking at a larger Crockpot at a local drug store and told me the price I said let's look on Amazon. Sure enough we found an even better one for for less money. She used it for the stuffing for Thanksgiving to save oven space which is always at a premium on big family holidays. She is very happy with it and we highly recommend it for anyone needing a large crockpot. The autumn motif is very attractive as well.
