Don't invest too much!. I have had my 19!.99 rival for about 10 years!.
Most have a removable ceramic insert (necessary for ease of cleaning)
Most have 2 heat settings (low and high) and I find this is sufficient!.
Clear cover is nice
Other features like timers and thermometers I find unnecessary!.
Buy the largest size you can get!. Not sure what the actual volume of mine is!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
