- You throw your food in and forget about it for a few hours.
- It allows you to leave the house while dinner is still cooking.
- It tenderizes tougher cuts of meat.
- They make the house smell really good.
- Mine is red.
I start off with this:
After several unwatched hours, I get this:
I also like to make split pea soups in my crock-pot. One of my girlfriends stuffs uncooked manicotti shells with a spinach-ricotta mixture, places them in her crock-pot with a bunch of marinara sauce and then has a magically delicious meal hours later. I recently made hot apple cider for a large group of trick-or-treating kids by pouring a whole bottle of apple cider into the crock-pot and adding a few cinnamon sticks. Several hours later, our thirsty and cold group came back to the house and there was hot cider all ready to go.
Who else uses a crock-pot? Let's hear about it.

I'm just starting to use mine again after not for a long time. Tonight (cuz me and Julie wen holoholo ka'a all day long) I had put sweet/sour meatballs; was all pau cooking when I got home! Last week I made one stew (I like browning the meat first). Before that I made this chicken breast thing with mushrooms and sour cream.
I have a friend who bakes her potatoes in a crockpot. Just poke 'em a few times, put on low all day long.
I've made overnight oatmeal in it.
Next week going be kalua pig.
I have this one crock pot that has a separate but still inside the crockpot section for veggies. But I kinda think now, why? I've never used it.
We inherited Papa-san's HR one, but I think it cooks more hot than my Rival.
And somewhere around here I have a really big 5-quart one. Sure wish I could find it for the kalua pig.
