Good crock pot recommendation

Well, I don’t generally leave the house for work, so that helps.

During most of 2020 and 2021, I didn't. Boy do I enjoy getting out of the house now!

I do mine. I just throw them in the oven at around 300F and let them go the same time as the slow cooker recipe calls for.

Some people don’t like running their oven all day, but I don’t mind.

thats how I do it.

Many people probably don't realise this, but your oven can be used as a slow cooker! Remember when your mom would do Boston Baked Beans in the oven. It was set to about 250 or 275. They had to cook for at least 8 hours or so. I used to do it in the oven, but now I use the pressure cooker. The beans are done in just 90 mnutes or less!! A cast iron kettle can also be used as a slow cooker,as can a cast iron skillet. On top of the stove or in the oven!

Here’s mine in action this morning:

Now here’s a funny story…I was about to snap that pic, and I said, “Hold on, Handsome, what’s them buttons what say Time on them? Could it be…?!”

Yes indeedy-doo - I’ve had this crockpot nigh on 25 years, have used it quite frequently, and just now noticed that it has a built-in timer.
