however, she said it cooks food a lot faster than slow cooker recipes say.
i do have to say that it cooks faster than recipes say to cook food, but after a few times i know that and can adjust.
i expect it to work very well with modern cook books, neither cooking slower or faster than expected, nor burning or undercooking food, as can be a problem if your machine's low setting is too extreme
it still cooks the food faster than i would expect but now that i have used it several times i am getting a better feel for how long things actually take.
a few minor things however: i don't know if it is because of its size or output, but things tend to cook in it a bit faster than many recipes call for.

i did find that the cooker appeared to be faster than expected: i followed a couple of recipes from the book and they were obviously done before the time expected.
the cuisinart had good ratings elsewhere and i thought well even it cooks faster that is fine.
faster then i want it to.
meaning that foods cook faster than usual...which is a great thing unless you leave it on while at work.
i believe there would be issues with people not using the right amount of food in this one though, since it is so big...the smaller amount of food will cook faster and may burn, like the oatmeal i
it seems to cook faster than other crock pots i've had in the past.
