Took the broth out & left the SC to cool.When I removed the liner to wash it, there was broth that had seeped into bottom....between the liner & outer shell.It had turned black from burning.It went back the next day & so did DDs.
We founf Hamilton Beach SCs at Walmart & went with them. BTW....all new SCs seem to be slick on the bottom. So be careful!
I have found you have to be careful not to fill them too full as they add so much more liquid during the cooking. I never fill mine more than half way, usually about 1/3.
