Both my slow cookers are have a ceramic, so I don't have a peeling problem.  I would recommend getting a slow cooker with the ceramic pot.  Second I would recommend something with a timer that shutoffs when you want it to.  Can't heard of a slow cooker with a really good temperature control.  But I figure that like an oven, slow cookers can vary and it's just a matter of getting to know how yours behaves.  Both of mine, a 3qrt ($20) &amp;amp; a 6.5qrt ($40), are Rivals.  The 6.5 qrt has the built in timer.
