I kept looking at recipes and decided that even if I want to cook any of them I can do it with regular pots and pans or use my slow cooker. I just don't need another device!

The young woman who got it is going off to college next fall. She loves to cook so she can experiment with it over the months before she leaves and take it with her for a versatile cooking device. She was very happy with the idea and is looking forward to testing it out.
