I love my crockpots (I have one in Portland and one in Seattle) and especially love the idea that dinner is ready and waiting for me when I get home (and clean up is super easy).
A big hint here....prep the night before and search for recipes that take 7-8 hours (or longer) to cook on low heat. This way, right before you walk out the door you can dump all the contents in the crockpot and turn it on and dinner is ready for you when you get home!
Another hint....many of these recipes can be prepared and placed in large freezer bags and kept in your freezer for use later.
Enjoy!
