MADE IN CHINA.. damn tried to kill us with a bio weapon, now they sent 100,000 kitchen bombs to ruin Thanksgiving!!
I didn't even know there was such a thing. A multi-tasking slow cooker with a speedy nuke-em-under-pressure mode. What could go wrong?
And just when you think those childhood fears of 'sploding pressure cookers had passed...
Crock pot lids don’t latch down that sounds more like an Insta-pot.🤔
Hand crafted in China
Off by a factor of 10! Make it 1,000,000 injuries we need to blame on president elect biden. Someone ask him whats he going to do about all the crackpot injuries caused by the chinese??
Fry a turkey in one of them on the kitchen table and have loads of fun.
My 1977 Rival crockpot has yet to explode. Though it will push out some of the contents past the lid if I overfill it.
Chinese factories have about as good QC as Chinese virus labs!
Skimming quickly, I thought it said “Crack Pots”. That would be a great recall!
Chinese factories ...
Oh, don’t get me started. The place where I work gets nearly half the components from China. It’s crap-tacular. And THEN trying to convince them that they made the parts wrong and we want our money back ... selective loss of English gets engaged.
When dead Turkeys fly...
Just imaging having your thanksgiving meal thrown at you by your crock pot and your ceiling fan. Is that not a great holiday story in 10 years? Beats salt in the pie by miles, seen that one happen.
Let me guess..product of China
Does that mean they are taking back Sleepy Joe Biden?
Some Thanksgiving...
Crockpots (Sunbeam) trying to burn us to death...
Crackpots (communists) planning to burn us to death...
The lid doesn’t fasten down on my 40 plus year old Crock Pot, and food has never jumped out of it.
Probably by the skilled workers in slave labor camp 2417.
Idea for a slow news day thread—what’s your worst kitchen ruination?
I burnt a loaded six egg omelet in 1980. I still grumble about that one! I was SO jonesing for it, too!
Westinghouse televisions, Polaroid imaging and probably the holder of the Crock-Pot name earn up front money from naming rights.
If no American engineers are overseeing the design or QC of the products, this is exactly what happens over and over.
That’s a heck of an omelet, would never be able to eat that myself. During training to be a chef, I’m not, figured out the hours I would be working and decided there had to be a better way.
Let some Perch go out that had started to turn just a touch. No food poisoning but sure had one pissed off customer. Lesson learned in the hi-paced environment of the restaurant world. Personally that one bugged me for a while. Back in those days, we had no dates on food in the storage/fridges. Smelled fine but failed.
I’ve gotten busy and set the smoke alarm off a few times as well, some multi tasking projects are better than others.
Blessings!
It is the Crock Pot company’s version of an Instant Pot. Many companies now make a pressure cooker/slow cooker combo appliance.
