I swear the crockpot should be called a ‘deflavorizer.’ I finally put mine out on the curb hoping someone would take it away. Back to using my Creuset and oven! My homemade baked beans are in it as I write.
“I swear the crockpot should be called a ‘deflavorizer.’”
I”m inclined to agree. I have 3, one of which has an ill-fitting top, and two others that work as they’re supposed to.
I have a small one I got for making overnight oatmeal. Tasteless.
The other I’ve used for ribs, roast and stew, but wouldn’t rave about the results. They’re also a little iffy on cook times. Hard to plan a meal to be done at a specific time.
I bought myself an electric pressure cooker and and immersion cooker for Christmas. I’m embarrassed to admit I haven’t used either yet.
Lately, I’ve been thinking I should eat out more.
What’s a Creuset?
I was thinking about getting a crock pot, but seeing as I have gotten along for a very long time w/out one I guess I really don’t need one. Plus I have a huge paranoia about leaving one plugged in with no one home.
We got a Le Creuset we got as a wedding present. It is 99% of the time used in winter/fall cooking. It makes me feel happy & cozy to bring it out.
