whitjm5 186 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm seriously thinking about buying another one for my weekly cook-up. Am I crazy or has anyone else done this? (The two are not mutually exclusive, though) Link to post Share on other sites
Susan W 3553 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yes you are crazy..but not because of wanting 2. I have 2 and sometimes dream of having 3. :0) Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Strathdee 2914 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have three. Made pulled pork and baked 8 sweet potatoes today. One is a smaller size, and the other two are bigguns. Life is good. Link to post Share on other sites

whitjm5 186 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Ha! Asylum inmates to support my tendencies. I just made 3+lbs of pulled pork (Boston Butt), but still have a whole chicken and a tray of wings to cook, yet. Next paycheck. Boom. Link to post Share on other sites
LoisH99 78 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Before you spend your money on another crockpot, ask friends/coworkers if they have one they don't use. It's surprising how many people have one and it's gathering dust. You might get yourself one for free! Link to post Share on other sites
AmyB 84 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I totally want another one! My roommate and I are both paleo/Whole30-ers, and we both loooooooove to eat! Two crockpots means we don't have to take turns. We also need a bigger grill! Hmmm, note to self...get rid of toaster, mixer, and waffle iron! Link to post Share on other sites

CraftyCarnivore 177 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have three. I have an ancient 4 qt that I only use for parties. And two 6 qts - one was a shower present almost 8 years ago. The handle broke off, but I still use it. I bought the other one about 6 months ago. On any given Sunday, I have a chicken in one and some sort of pork in the other. And we have a toaster and waffle iron, too. Um, and two Kitchen Aid's (Kohl's shipped me a second one by accident and just told me to keep it!) We have our own housewares department.

Susan W 3553 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Just to tempt everyone..it's expensive, so don't look if you don't want the temptation. This is my newest member of my slow cooker family. I love it. I often brown things before slow cooking (roasts, carnitas, lamb shanks, stews etc.) so this is a dream come true for me. http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MSC-600-Central-6-Quart-Multi-Cooker/dp/B008YEXC22/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366214370&sr=8-2&keywords=3+in+one+slow+cooker Link to post Share on other sites
SpinSpin 1948 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Um nope! you are NOT crazy! At last count we had 7! LOL from the 1 qt warming one thru the big 7 quart oval. Link to post Share on other sites
Susan W 3553 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Spin, what do you do with your one QT. I have one that came with the first one I bought. It has sat on a pantry shelf. I look at it but never know what to do with it. It's not like I am going to make a cheese dip. Link to post Share on other sites

1Maryann 1314 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have...several...Most I picked up at Goodwill for $3-5. I mostly use them for parties. I can have hot appetizers in different areas of the house instead of one central table. Improves the traffic flow and the conversation when everyone isn't piled around the buffet.

whitjm5 186 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Before you spend your money on another crockpot, ask friends/coworkers if they have one they don't use. It's surprising how many people have one and it's gathering dust. You might get yourself one for free! Great idea. Sometimes I get so excited I forget my brain. I'll be patient. If I can't find a neighbor/friend to give me one, I can always check yard sales or go thrift shopping. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
SpinSpin 1948 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Susan--I have used the 1 qt for making SOS for hubby on new years. Other than that, not so much. Would love to figure out some warm compliant dips though! Maybe a curry?? Link to post Share on other sites
Sharon Simpson Thumann 378 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I now have three and it's all Susans fault! Link to post Share on other sites
pjena 1624 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have three. Perfectly normal. Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Christensen 156 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have three. I keep one with perpetual bone stock in it all the time. Then two more for cooking with. Link to post Share on other sites
GLC1968 583 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I also have three. Well, 4 if you count the one extra base in our basement! I broke the crock on two of mine and wouldn't you know it, buying a replacement crock is more expensive than just buying a whole new one. One of our working ones is actually a mixed set - base from one unit, crock & lid from another. Link to post Share on other sites

One of our working ones is actually a mixed set - base from one unit, crock & lid from another. Yeah, our daughter stored ours poorly after doing dishes and it ended up falling and cracking. I found the same to be true. Just bought the same one brand new for $34. Still a great investment. We did a whole chicken in ours tonight. Tomorrow....WINGS! Link to post Share on other sites
carolinaBlue 63 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm so glad for this topic! I've been resisting getting a second slow cooker because I thought it was over the top, lol. I'm going to Goodwill today to get at least one more Link to post Share on other sites

I'm drooling! Yes kitchen appliances do it for me. [For the record (and to explain my lurking) I'm starting to eat Whole30-style on Sunday, interrupting for a beach trip in May, then I'm starting a literal Whole30 after I return. I quit Diet Coke a couple of weeks ago and already avoid grains and artificial sugars, so I just have a few more tweaks to make. Should be interesting!] Link to post Share on other sites
