Over the past few months, I have enjoyed cooking with my 360 Cookware and for this show, I am going to showcase their Gourmet Slow Cooker Base –with the 6-quart pan. Now, if you don’t have this, please note that you can combine the ingredients in a roasting pan or even a slow cooker, but I have to say, this pot was so easy to use, and clean up was a breeze.
