notkevinmyrick Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Can someone throw some decent crockpot/slow cooker names out there. I would like to invest in one. Keep in mind I'm a broke college student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areldi Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 No point recommending brands since I'm in the UK but... I have a cheap, basic supermarket own-brand one (thanks to my folks), but I use a timer plug* with it so I can make it switch on/off as needed - the models with built-in timers seemed quite a lot more expensive. So that's an idea for you the timer is a feature you're interested in. *This kind of thing: http://www.screwfix.com/p/plug-in-compact-timer/44241 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura B Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I received this one: http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCR500SS-5-Quart-Manual-Stainless/dp/B001DIXFAA/ref=sr_1_6?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1348089506&sr=1-6&keywords=crockpot and another as Christmas gifts in the same year and used this one for all my cooking. I just recently opened my other crockpot (that has a timer). I would get one that is at least 5 qts. It's $10 more than the 3 qt but you will definitely want the larger size. You could post on facebook that you want one, maybe one of your friends has an extra lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I have this one. http://www.amazon.co...ywords=crockpot I love it. It's great to have the programable dials so you can set it and walk away. When it times out, it just stays on warm. I just throw a whole spaghetti squash in it with no water or anything and it's perfectly baked 4-6 hours later (depending on whether I do it on low or high).
