Agree! You put everything in there and forget about it for hours.
No need to check water level or stir. I will sometimes stir a bit
though. A slow cooker really *IS* a handy (and inexpensive)
kitchen appliance, imo. :-D

I don't use mine very often so it lives in a bottom cupboard. So
handy to have for certain things though.

Mine is an old 1980 or so Rival "Crock-pot Stoneware slow
cooker." No removable inside bowl and only 3 settings on a
dial...off-low-high. It says 75 watts on slow and 150 watts on
high. I only use the high setting to bring it up to temp then I
turn it down to low to cook for hours.

Size is 3.5 quarts.
