I was looking for a device with a low-temperature cooking with the possibility of keeping warm, he made 2 and more! The other function that interests me is the rice cooker, but also soups ... I have this unit since one month and has already enabled us to arrive late in the evening and put our feet under table, as if someone else had cooked for you. On Facebook many recipes in English but I just bought on Amazon a book called "small dishes to Slow Cooker", an ideal complement! I am fully satisfied with my purchase.
