Pot roast in the crock pot/slow cooker. With some nice potato chunks, quartered onions, carrots. A little Worcestershire sauce, small can of beef broth and/or some packaged onion soup mix (add water). An amazing meal to have ready when arriving home after work in cool/cold weather.
YUM

The crock pot is only 50 years old?!
I just always thought it was invented in the 40s or 50s

Don’t the potatoes and carrots turn to mush?

We’re still using a crockpot we paid $5 for at a garage sale 25 years ago. Darn thing is indestructible. Crockpots are incredible gadgets.

they gave those home economists in the test kitchen a lot more attention than they ever did beforeThey actually used to have a class in HS "home economics". Sadly it was replaced by non useful classes in climate change and diversity studies.

I have always loved my crock pot and have even used it as a sous -vide cooker with the help of a temperature controller. However I find I am using my Instant Pot pressure cooker and air fryer more these days. With colder weather there is still nothing like my crock pot to make comfort foods like soups and super tender beef pot roast. Interesting that my microwave, which I once thought was indispensable, and my kitchen range are now my least used kitchen appliances.

I am using my Instant Pot pressure cooker and air fryer more these daysPressure cookers are crock pots on steroids, do abut the same thing in half the time or less. I am new to the air fryer and hope to experiment this winter when I have the time.

I remember when I was a little kid my grandmother had an electric stove that had a well for a bean pot, built right into the stove top.
I also have a crock pot from the 50’s. It implements high/low functionality by having 3 pins in a row that are used with a common heating appliance plug, and a little slider in front of them. Slide it one way, and it exposes the center and one outside pin. Plug into that and it is high. Slide it the other way and the center and other pin gives you low. No switch needed. Very clever.

I have one here from the 70s and it works but is a pos compared to a good old bean pot or the new crock pots that have removable crock linings

I'm old enough to remember life without microwave ovens and clearly remember Mom and Dad getting our families 1st one, but I just cant remember life without crockpots.
I sure wish I could ask Mom about it but she's gone on ahead.

The bean cooker that eventually became the Crock-Pot was first patented by prolific inventor Irving Naxon in ..... 1940.
