Space age Cholent pot
We saw this advertised in a Jewish Newspaper and were intrigued. We bought the larger size pot when we realized that they both had the same " footprint " and the larger size took up no extra space on the counter-top, the difference in volume being made up in the height of the unit, not the width or depth. It's a very cool looking unit. The design makes certain issues of Hachzorah and Hamtanoh easier. The little plastic switch cover looks neater than putting aluminum foil over the controls as we have done on out other crock pots. The instructions aren't really explicit as to how to use the Blech component, but anyone familiar with Hilchos Shabbos shouldn't have a problem. If in doubt, contact your LOR ( local Orthodox Rabbi ) If you are used to using a conventional crock pot, the cooking times are somewhat different and it does take some trial and error to get it right. Overall we are very happy with the unit. Very easy to keep clean. We give it 5 stars. There is nothing on the market to compare. Read more
