I have 7 crockpots of varying sizes. I too like to cook breakfast and load something in the pot for supper at the same time. Almost any low temp oven recipe can be adapted - just reduce the liquids a bit to modify.
I have even cooked beans in my 2 qt. size. I use several crocks to make stuff and keep it warm when we would have lots of people for holidays.
So far, the best use I’ve found for it, is making bone broth.
I’m going to have to play with it and learn more about it.
And I thought I was a crockpot junkie!!! (Own one but know who to borrow from!)
Beans that are dry go in my pressure cooker. Next time I'll try my crockpot!
