GREAT! Why didn't someone think of this before?

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this slow cooker to anyone who needs a variety of crockpot sizes and doesn't want to store 3 different machines!
I got this slow cooker as a Christmas gift and I've already used it several times. What a great idea!
First, the slow cooker comes with three stoneware crocks of various sizes: 2-quart, 4-quart, and 6-quart. There is one base unit and one glass lid that fits all three bowls. The three bowls nest inside one another for easy storage.
You can choose which size crock serves your needs and use that one in the base unit to cook your meal. Select the size on the front dial. If you want to make something small (an appetizer or dip perhaps) you can use the small 2-quart bowl. The medium 4-quart bowl is good for average size meals for families. The large 6-quart crock is perfect for soups, stews, and large meals like a whole chicken or pot roast.
The slow cooker has three heat settings (warm, low, high) and cooks evenly. I've been pleased with all the meals that I've made in it.
The best part is you can cook a meal in one crock while storing leftovers in another. If you make a meal that has leftovers, just cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge. Then you can still cook a meal the next day in one of the other bowls! It's great!
