I recently bought this crock pot and have used it a couple of times now. It is a good sized crock and perfect for smaller amounts of food to be made instead of a such large amount. The pot and design are cute and a refreshing change from the usual kinds of crocks on the market. Recipes (written for 4 qt to 6 qt crocks) can be cut in half; any recipes that were written for a 1 quart crock can be doubled. I also bought the calendar sized cookbook and it has alot of different types of recipes that can be adapted to the 2.5 qt. pot (cut them in half). I recommend this pot and is worth the money spent.
I bought this model on sale a few years ago and have taken it to many Potluck suppers. Even when filled, it not as heavy and cumbersome as my larger Crock Pots. I can make up a recipe for a side dish and the pot is just the right size. It is definitely a keeper!
I was in love with this item as soon as I saw it. After cleaning the stoneware I accidently dropped it and it broke. I have been searching everywhere to find a replacement stoneware but no luck. I don't want to have to purchase entire item all over again but I guess that's what I'm going to have to do. So disappointed!!! So I have to give this 3 star since I will have to purchase a new one. Will recommend just don't drop the stoneware or the lid!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the size, but knob fell off as soon as I got home with it, and kept falling off. Are replacement knobs available? I've completely lost it now.

I purchased one of these about a year ago for my mother in law. She loves it and uses it all the time. It is small and she is able to cook her meals in it and not waist large amounts of food. It saves her time and is very easy to use. She accidentally dropped her bowl when washing it and now the bowl is cracoand starting to seep a little. She has become so dependent on this in her kitchen and uses it so much she asked me to get her another one as soon as possible. Thank you for making my 89 year old Moma happy. She can’t be without this in her kitchen
