This cooker was great until the clay pot broke. Unfortunately, the company no longer makes pots for the VM7900−8 cooker so I am out of luck. Wait, I can just buy a new one at $ 150.00 plus. I don’t think so. If you can’t make replacement pots for this model but you do for others, shame on you! Sorry, but I will purchase something else. It isn’t worth it for a product that breaks after such little use. Save your money.
