Very clear in 20-20 hindsight that something this good would be invented not only in flyover country, but in the middle of flyover country for and by people who have real lives and real challenges.

No. I always put the meat in first (maybe on a couple carrot pieces to lift it off the bottom), then potatoes, then carrots. Potatoes: I cut into fairly large chunks, like 1/4 to 1/6 of a medium size russet. Onions on top. Cook on medium heat.

Serve with horseradish for the meat.

I still use my crock pot that I got around 35 years ago.

Crock does NOT remove, for washing :- /

Sounds almost identical to my recipe...only, I’ve recently replaced the Worcestershire and onion soup mix for coco aminos and fresh onions/garlic, etc.

One of hubby’s FAVE meals. Especially, the left overs!

Now I am probably going to have to make one next week (after next grocery run!). Yes, if the meat is large enough, we can get at least 3 nice dinners out of it.

And, now they have plastic liners for easy clean up. I love plugging it in in the morning, then coming home after work to the wonderful smell of a ready to eat pot roast.

the other issue is they where to small.

I can tell you when I make stuff in the new large ones it all disappears..

Fun to use, for parties, to keep foil wrapped rolls (or, other non-messy items) warm.

My newest crock-pot runs circles around it ;-)

I stock up (on chuck roasts) when they’re on sale.

I vacuum pack, then freeze.

The vacuum pack keeps them good....for years.

We’re still cooking/eating roasts I packed over a year ago. Delicious.

Yeah, women probably like crock pots because they are easy enough that even a man can do it.

sharply dressed up in colors like avocado and harvest gold

The colors of our kitchen when I was growing up. Wallpaper had avocado, wood trim was painted avocado.

Yep.

I have a lot of 70s cooking appliances/tools and dishes/serving pieces, from mom and my aunts....that I like to use for parties. Brings back a lot of good memories, for all.

It was an early subliminal marketing effort by avocado growers. 😉
