Okay, folks.

One of the many things that didn't make it with us was our grand old crock pot. Therefore, we need to buy a new one. Do you lot have any particular recommendations?

I'll check the name of my "two seater" as I like to call it. I got it at Walmart. It came with a large ceramic insert dist and then 2 smaller metal ones to allow cooking 2 items seperately.

check out thrift stores. They always seem to have loads of them. :)

Something that comes up often in [livejournal.com profile] what_a_crock is the fact that newer crocks seem to be set at much higher temps than older ones, so whatever you wind up getting, "break it in" with a recipe you can make in your sleep, and watch it carefully to see how long it actually takes to finish compared to what you're used to.

We have this one, and we looooove it. The probe is key for the crock-potting of meats. The ceramic part comes out and it's easy to clean. You can set it by temperature as opposed to low/high which I find to be more precise and lowers the chances of burning or whatever. And you can just set it on a timer and split!

Big Lots - at least the ones around here - have Rival 6QT Corckpots, model # 3060W, for $20 + tax.

I have the Westbend crockpot. It works just fine and I do love the removable ceramic crockpot, I would not buy it again. The stainless steel exterior gets hella hot! It could burn you.
