I don't know what some of the 2 star people cook but I use my little 3 liter. Granite crock pot for chilling soups and stews, roasting chicken (don't normally use a lid), cooking that steamed pork (like Kalua pork but in the oven) with potatoes and onions, sticky pasta and cheese casseroles, etc., and it all works great ! And delicious. Anything that cooks on it, like all the cheese, I just soak the pan in hot water with some dish soap overnight and use one of those stainless steel tools (like little rings, not a Brillo pad) to scrape it off. . Mine is easy to clean and I love it. The lid doesn't fit the pot snugly, so any time I need to sear/bake/cook something that requires steam, I just use foil wrapped tightly around the rim of the pot. I will buy another Granite item (I don't bake very much) just because I like it. It's not thick metal, so you have to be careful not to burn anything on the stove (use the most insulated pan possible for this type of cooking).
