[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get one that is programmable!  I have a super old one (just warm, low and high settings) and a lot of recipes call for 4 or 6 hours of cooking time, which is annoying when I leave the house at 8am and don't come back until after 5pm.

Also, pulled pork BBQ is super easy.  Throw in a hunk of pork, 1/2 a bottle of BBQ sauce, and walk away for 8+ hours.  Shred it up, serve sauce on the side, put it on a bun with cole slaw and you're set.[/quote]

I too have one that is not programmable but someone gave me advice about it which has changed my life.  Get one of those electronic timers (you know, the type you use when you want to put your lights on timers when you go on vacation?).  Use that with your un-programmable crockpot.  I LOVE IT.  I put it on low and then plug it into the timer, which is set to go off in 8 hours, and then dinner is done and ready when we get home from work and school in the evenings. . . .

Plus, I like the older crokcpots (like this) b/c I find the newer ones are TOO HOT and burn everything I cook in there to a crisp.  I don't know how or why they are so darn HOT.  It is like cooking something on the surface of the sun.[/quote]
