This crock pot is horrible!  First of all, it cooks too hot!  If a recipe calls for 4-5 hours on high, you better do 4-5 hours on warm because that's how hot this gets.  When you open it, steam pouts out of it and burns your hand.  There is a hinge on the back & handle that locks on the front.  The hinge broke after a few uses.  I don't think the hardware was fit properly.
