Try making chili or spaghetti in one. I brown the meat and onions, add it and everything else to the crock post and cook on low all night. It is so good. The smell in the morning is wonderful. If you get one, get one with the removable pot. It is so much easier to clean. When I don’t feel good, I will make something, cook it and then keep it on warm so I can get a little all during the day. I have made soup in it, too. You will love it.
Almost everyone I know swears by the crock pot.
