Anybody have a crockpot that they just love?

I have the same model and it does the trick though I'm not in love with it. I find it cooks fast and the crock doesn't clean up all that well. I used an appliance timer (one of those timer thingys many people use on their Christmas lights where you can set times to turn on and off) with my old slow cooker and I can't do that with this one because you have to push a button to select the setting once the power is turned on. Probably not a big deal for most people but somehow I never home at exactly the right times so I liked using the timer. Another FYI on this one, the 4 & 6 hour settings are high heat and the 8 & 10 hour settings are low heat. If you want 4 hours on low you have to be around to turn it off or down to warm.

Over all, it does a good job but it's not my ultimate slow cooker but I haven't found anything better in the same price range.

Hey Tracy, why don't we get together and offer our "consulting services" to Rival and Hamilton Beach for a fee. ;)

I hear you about picky eaters and the piece of mind a slow cooker can bring. Same thing here.

Here's one -

and it's only $40. I know whats going on my birthday list. :0)

mine is as old as the hills but works so well. We got my g'ma a new one two years ago. It was digital, had a timer, low, high, warm...all the bells and whistles and it sucked. The thing broke last month, just stopped working. Mine my mother gave me, its a Rival brand and only has two settings but I've never had a problem with it, it take a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. :)
