I'm on a budget.
I'm thinking:
Size - Bigger is better. Not looking under 5.5l
Shape - Oval for chickens
Settings - Some switch to 'warm' after cooking... Is this important. Lets see... If I have classes at 8am I'll want to turn it on before I leave at, say 7am. Then if classes finish around 5pm I won't be back until around 6pm. So... 11 hours. Anyone have experience cooking around 6l (a bit over 6 quarts) for that amount of time on a slow cook setting? Feasible?I'm thinking this one:
But it is possible I have merely been dazzled by its beautiful blackness and a bit of brand recognition because there is also this:

which is slightly larger. the latter doesn't have the 'fast cook' option (apparently it uses the extra watts to crank out more heat then comes back to low after heating up). but... i don't think i want that feature anyhow.
i think the ones with timers are a lot more expensive (like, starting from 2x the price). thoughts?
