I have been running this through the paces since I got it. It gets used at least once a week. I have cooked boneless skinless chicken, green bean cassarole, and several breakfast cassaroles in this. Using the breakfast cassaroles as reference since eggs can go from runny to rubber so easily, this dish has turned out very good every time. Cooking on low, the sides never got beyond a light brown even after reheating a couple times. Eggs were always fluffy and cooked well without getting rubbery. The green bean cassarole was cooked on low over night then unplugged for a 2 hour commute. It was in the trunk during the trip with an outside temperature of about 35 degrees. Upon arrival it was still hot to the touch. I cooked it on high for about an hour then the ceramic pot was placed in the oven for about 10 minutes to brown the top. Again it never burned around the edges.
I chose this product due to the reviews across this and several other sites. There is also a crock pot review that compared this and about a dozen others. They were tested by an engineer from MIT and several chefs. This was the overall winner and after several uses myself I can agree that it is well worth the money.

After much debate and testing, it’s a keeper!
Based on the reviews here and at Cooks Illustrated, I had my fingers crossed I’d get a slow cooker that actually worked the way it should. I chose the “easy serve lid” because I liked the option of not having to remove the entire lid to serve or check on the food. Like other reviewers, I noticed it didn’t seal perfectly. It wasn’t level on my countertop either. By itself, after 12 hours on low, water was 180 degrees. I added two light hand weights, which elimated the gap in the middle on both sides, and another 12 hour test on low got up to 183, a third test on high for 6 hours was 195. I then decided to try a beef stew tonight on high. After 2 hours, the broth was 180 degrees. After 5 hours, the meat was well done and the broth was at a low boil, over 200 degrees (probably around 210, but I pulled my thermometer out once I saw it was over 200.) My guess is it will do beautifully on low for a slower cook, and the meat will be perfect (closer to 140-145 degrees as opposed to 185 on high.)I’m considering swapping the lid for the newer version to see if it seals better (without my hand weights.) But, I really appreciated the ease of serving dinner with my current lid. I may just have to store those light dumbbells with my pot!

Expensive, poor glazing and lid fit out of the box.

I'm returning it. Like others have written -- I'm shocked by the poor glazing of an expensive slow cooker. I counted at least 5 poorly glazed points. I'm concerned about the lack of glazing leading to water intrusion and early failure of the ceramic pot. Many have reported of both problems with glazing and the pot cracking. It seems KitchenAid doesn't stand behind this poorly made product since they don't replace early failing pots. Also the top left about a 1/4 inch gap between the bottom of the lid and the pot where it is supposed to seat. A small gap would be okay but considering it is a slow cooker, much moisture will escape through the large long gaps. This will make it difficult to slow cook. I now have to search for another slow cooker and return the old one -- what a waste of time. I don't mind paying extra for something that is well designed, works well, and of high quality but I found this to be of low quality for the price.
