Slow cookers & crock pots

[Dzone]

Whats the difference? What are they good for? I went to walmart to check them out and there were 80 different kinds. Call me confused. Nobody on this board knows less about cooking than me. When it comes to cooking, frozen pizza and microwave tv dinners is about as advanced as it gets for me

They are the same however not all are created equal. Some hold temperature better than others and remember that there times for cooking are more guide lines than strict instruction. Theres some trial and error with cooking with them to keep from drying out some dishes. Over all very easy to use otherwise.

If I where in the market today I would search out americas test kitchen for reviews. They have yet to steer me wrong with kitchen cooking equipment and gadgets

Re: Slow cookers & crock pots

stay away from the cheapo ones. and you will find you do not need the expensive ones either. just read the reviews online. great for whole meals done when you walk in from work.

roasts, chicken, pork veggies soups and beans. I have a big one and a small one. use them at least 1X a week.
