Every kitchen should have a crock pot
Crock Pots or slow cookers are great for busy people. Ive had a crock pot since the 70s and I used all the time then. It was put away and got moved around the kitchen cupboards for many years but my lime green crock pot has made a revival for the following reasons:
My vintage crock pot
- Crock pot cooking is simple, healthy and a time saver.
- Crock pots are great for busy families and especially for new mothers, just add all the ingredients in the morning, turn it on, and leave the cooking to happen while you get on with your day.
- There are many easy crock pot recipes including soups, stews and desserts.
- Crock pots use a small amount of electricity so its a money saver too.
- They come in several sizes from small crock pots that cook enough food for one or two people to medium sized crock pots are often best for families of four or five, and the largest crock pots can serve ten people or more.
- Very little clean up required. Now that's a bonus.
An electric crock pot or slow cooker usually consists of a removable porcelain bowl which sits inside an outer container that has electric heating elements and some control buttons and switches. My vintage one has only two settings, low and high, but the more modern have digital programming and automatic settings. My crock pot is round but they also come in oval which is good for cooking whole meats like chicken.
A crock pot is one of the most convenient appliances in a kitchen. If you don't have one then you are spending too much time in the kitchen. Have a look at the great range of crock pot slow cookers and accessories like books and liners

I agree wholeheartedly! We couldn’t live without a crock pot. We both work and finding time to cook with our busy schedules is a challenge to say the least.
Using a crock pot makes life so much easier. I can quickly put together a healthy meal at night and put everything in the crock pot. In the morning I take it out of the fridge and set it out to cook while I’m at work.
By the time we get home, our dinner is not only ready, but cooked to perfection. We used to eat way too much fast food because we were just too tired to cook in the evening. Crock pot cooking has helped me learn to prepare leaner, healthier meals and that fits well with my present
Making healthy meals for my family is so easy now I almost feel guilty.
my kitchen needs a crock pot!
