They're junk! They heat from the bottom and sides, yet the top stays cooler because of air exposure. So the condensation refluxes, and the meat dries out more than it should. Ever notice how liquids separate into layers in one? As in your chili get watery on top. Plus the temperature is all over the map because there is no active temperature control. Real cooks run from them.
My new oven has a slow cook feature that puts my crock pot to shame. And it's safe. And it can shut off automatically. And it controls temperature well. The whole pot plus lid experiences the same temperature, so no reflux.
I've had two and they were both junk. The crock pot is one of the great kitchen hoaxes of the 20th century.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
