Great cooker but sadly, vapor seal doesn’t properly work
"I like to slow cook pinto beans. And this cooker (crock pot) did a superior job of cooking them til tender and delish. But I’m soooo disappointed in the vapor lock—which spewed steam and bean broth from here to kingdom come the entire day. I’m still cleaning it up, a day later. A complete mess. Very disappointing! I do not want to clean up such a gigantic mess every time I crock pot my beans (weekly). This pot is way too expensive to fail in this manner."
