Explain a bean pot

Thats why i was dubious about the new gift. The ceramic pot evenly heats the beans, so when placed in the oven you can keep it up pretty high (allowing you to create that crust on top) without burning the beans... its like a less durable, smaller, cheaper, enameled dutch oven.
Overall i'd give it a B- as a kitchen utility. Its nice to have, novel, and theres probably quite a few dishes it can make really well (Mine's too big for the microwave, but if you have a huge microwave there are recipes for making tons of crazy stuff in it, like a meatloaf or lasagna) but the fact is when set next to my slow cooker, dutch oven, and pressure cooker one of those 3 is going to be better than the bean pot at whatever category you're trying to measure. The slow-cooker is more hands off, the preassure cooker is faster, and the dutch oven can be used on the stove top/higher heats.
