No I haven't and I should. When I tried to cook stuff in it, it was too hot
in comparison with an old one I used to have. That is why I won't cook my
beef in it because I put it on the stove, on the smallest heat and use a
diffuser too. It hardly bubbles and the meat gets vey tender.

I read that the new ones are made hotter so there could be no possibility of
causing problems because it is so low
