[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks all.  Do any of you crock pot devotees have a particular brand or features that I should look for?  I've avoided crock pots forever because I always think of the ones from the 70s where everything comes out mushy and tasting the same, but maybe I need to update my thinking.  Also, do you use during the summer?  I see the appeal of stew or chili in the winter, but now...?  Thanks again![/quote]

I just got the Cuisinart Crock Pot.  It has a timer feature so you can set it for for however many hours that you want it to cook, and then it automatically shifts to the "warm" setting for 8 hours before it shuts off completely.  So if you are gone for longer than an 8 hour day (usually the max time limit I see on crock pot recipes) then that may be a good option for you.   Or, if the recipe does call for some prep work (see the other post on crock pot questions where you need to brown the meat first), you can just start cooking it at 9:00 pm for 8 hours, and then it will be on the warm setting when you wake up, and then you can let it cool for a bit and then transfer it to the fridge before you leave for work and then just reheat it when you get home.[/quote]
