I actually own two. I had one that worked just fine, but there was no lift-out insert for easy cleaning. But I use it enough, and yes I'm just that lazy, that I bought another one. $15 at Wal-Mart WELL SPENT. I just made barbacoa in mine last night to taste like Chipotle's. It's on my blog if you want to steal.

I mean I confess to a secret longing for Sugar Frosted Flakes and Rice Krispie Treats, but I don't actually eat them. (OK, I did make Rice Krispie Treats for a white trash potluck about a year ago and they were a huge hit.) <BR/><BR/>But yeah, I can totally picture Bubba getting all jazzed about his gravy.

I use it for all kinds of sauces and dressings...even salad dressing for fancy dinners.<BR/><BR/>I got a crock pot as a wedding gift (first husband), 1874. It's been runnin' ever since.<BR/><BR/>Found this online:<BR/>"THE DEBUT OF CROCK-POT®<BR/>The first slow cooker was introduced in the early 1970s by Rival, under the trademarked name Crock-Pot®. Today, two models of this appliance exist on the market: multicookers and the original slow cooker. Multicookers can be used to deep-fry, steam and slow-cook."Ellen Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153459009479689234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-26341369593708188242008-11-21T10:30:00.000-08:002008-11-21T10:30:00.000-08:00Oh, and.

He has like five recipes that he follows that are from the actual crock pot cookbook.

Every Thanksgiving I bust ass to make a creative and delicious spread and Andy makes Green Bean Casserole with French's Fried Onions and Canned Mushroom Soup. That and the gravy are his favorite. And mashed potatoes with more butter no matter how much butter is already in there.dig this chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418144148141016215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-84129208168907419632008-11-21T08:02:00.000-08:002008-11-21T08:02:00.000-08:00I am on my second crockpot, cause well, I have the...I am on my second crockpot, cause well, I have the FTJ and...two lazy daughters who don't cook much, and then when they do I thank them profusely and then wish they hadn't cooked when I taste the food.

Because I don't. And I know you're JUST LIKE ME.<BR/><BR/>Also, my first Crock Pot was my dad's swingin' single guy Crock Pot, which WAS from the seventies and worked really well, until it died. Then I got a new one, and it doesn't cook as evenly. Which might also be why I don't use it much.<BR/><BR/>I usually go the lazier way with gravy and shake some milk and flour up in a jar, then dump that in the meat juices. When I make it, which is rarely. Eliminates the need for whisking. Probably not as good as yours, though.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.com
