[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]electronic timers[/b] (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]

That's what I do too, got the timer from Ikea.[/quote]
