This is an expensive piece of garbage. The ceramic liner cracks easily. Had it less than 30 days before it cracked. No mishandling. Replacement liners aren't available. All-Clad doesn't have them (they'll call me if and when they become available). For this much money you'd expect quality. My old Crockpot never cracked. And I had it for 20 years. This was supposed to be an upgrade. Instead I wasted my money. Don't you do the same.
