But I digress. As I was saying, if you, like me, would rather your kitchen appliances be multi-purpose, an actual slow cooker may be more up your alley, especially if you plan on using it just for soups, stews, and the like. This saves you the need for extra appliances that take up space and in some cases the need to use extra pots and pans when preparing a meal and making for a whole lot less cleanup.

I also believed that a crook pot and slower cooker were two different names for the same appliance! Crook pot meals are great, at first I had only used it for beans, my first crook pot was a very small one given to me as a gift.

It is pretty much mistake proof in that there is no worry of food scorching or burning. The easy clean up is a plus as well. One thought. I have an actual Crock Pot brand pot that died after several uses.
It has a digital panel and that is what broke. I loved my old Crock Pots and had no idea when we bought the new one that the temp regulations had changed.
