KitchenAid KSC6222SS 6 Qt. Slow Cooker with Flip Lid
I would love to be able to give 5 stars to the KitchenAid KSC6222SS 6 Qt. Slow Cooker with Flip Lid, but I am afraid it will ultimately deserve three stars. Until I have had a chance to thoroughly test it out, I will compromise and give it 4 stars.

I purchased this slow cooker as a replacement for my 15 year-old 3 Qt. CrockPot, which had performed admirably, but was too small for many dishes.

I finally decided on the Kitchen Aid with the flip lid (and yes, the flip lid was definitely a deciding factor for my purchase...).

First of all, for those who care how your crock-pot looks sitting on the kitchen counter, this one is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye :) Nice and shiny and elegant, and despite it's size, does not really take up a lot of space.

Now, for the cooking. I have used it faithfully now for maybe 2 months and I love it. Love love love. My very favorite function is the fact that after cooking for the amount of time you set it to, it automatically flicks to "warm" for 4 hours (or less if you need it), eliminating the need for me to rush home to flick off the crock-pot and also eliminates the need for relying on...
