It's a great time saver and it cooks some amazing, healthy and tasty meals. You just put all ingredients into the pot and after 4 - 8 hours (depends on the recipe) you come to a ready meal! You can put it on before you go to work or when you just don't have the time to spend 5 hours in the kitchen.
