I only recently got a new crockpot, although my Crock-Pot was still working. It was, you see, 45 years old---and still worked perfectly. One of the original Crock-Pots. I only replaced it because I was afraid any day could be "the day" and I didn't want any safety hazards in the kitchen.

I use my new crockpot (another Crock-Pot, of course) all the time. The latest and greatest (which I'm chowing down on right now) is homemade chicken soup, because I am trying to shake a nasty cold. That hot soup with its veggies and noodles, is bringing me back to life.

My Crock-Pot has taken a big backseat to the Instant Pot.

Feel better! You’ve got that Jewish penicillin, so you will be better in no time.

Dropped my original one right before Christmas. Bummer.

45 years ago.., Lordy, probably. Never though about that. The thing was old.

45 years old! egads! I have a blender that is probably going on 40.

They made things good back then, didn’t they?

What I love about the older crockpots is that they really did SLOW cook. I bought one last Christmas, on a really good sale that I couldn’t pass up, and it boils on low! My old one doesn’t do that. That just makes the meat tougher. I imagine the same people that made my washer not use hot water were involved.

I replaced my old Crock Pot with a new one recently too. I found the new one on low seems like the old one on high and high is a lot hotter than the old ones ever got. Could be my imagination but I like the new one better.
