The Crock pot is extra! Be sure to order a crock pot in the range "skipped", they are the only ones you can lay flat ceramic directly on the flame to brown your meat or melt your onions ... Other crock pot are will not, so you have dirty another dish. I have only one dish at the moment and I liked it! I like the principle of cook time at low temperatures. I had a bad surprise by cons with my seller (Cab'Export) on Amazon that gave me a different model than the one ordered, so I had to return the item and the order elsewhere (Delamaison, fast, efficient, perfect! and cheaper!). Beware, be sure although they are good of SCVI600BS-I and not another.
