I have two sizes and yeah, they take forever. I have always wanted to try the oatmeal in the small one, but, I just pop it in the microwave.
I do have a recipe for stuffing in the crockpot that’s ok, though.
My GF made uf a batch of Boston Baked Beans in the Crockpot a few months back.
It was Reallly good.
Lot’s of great recipes for stuff like that out there.
