Real Issues!
I have been using this model now for six months and here is what I found. Knowing the ceramic bowl is large even temperature heating is very important. I try to get the bowl centered as much as possible especially side to side where there is most play. Get the items close to room temperature and place things like onions or carrots under large pieces of meat to keep from having a cold spot in the middle of the bowl. When starting I use the Banquet setting to Low after time to allow things to come up to temp gradually. The only big problem is it runs too hot! I too use Banquet to slow cook or simmer as anything above that will boil out the moisture in less than six hours. WHY KA?

Cracked Crock
Hairline crack along bottom of ceramic pot after only a dozen uses. Should have checked reviews before purchase like I usually do. After reviewing other comments on this product stating kitchen aid replacements also cracked, will just take the loss and try another brand.

Take a pass on this one!
Based on the recommendations from Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen, I compared The KitchenAid and All-Clad slow cookers. I decided on the KitchenAid in onyx because I liked the look. Because of warnings from some of the reviewers re:cracking ceramic inserts, first time use was water only on high for 2 hours...testing...testing...all was OK. Next, a bed of onions, an herb and garlic rubbed pork roast and a sour cherry glaze. After 2 hours the house smelled great,then I heard a loud crack. I pulled the insert out and checked the bottom...hairline crack. I decided to take a chance and finished cooking the roast.(Delish!) Cleaned up the crock and the crack was visible on the inside too. So this one got sent back to Amazon(and they make it SO easy to do that!)I didn't want the same experience of one reviewer who went through 3 ceramic inserts...obviously there's a quality control problem...shame on Kitchenaid for not recalling these...they're a safety hazard! So, I just ordered the All-Clad and am crossing my fingers. Next test will be Mexican Pork Roast with Tomatillo Sauce. I'll let you know...
