Thanks, Kathy!!
Wow, that's a lot of meat talk. I can't be the only pescatarian who uses a slow-cooker, right??
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Ooh, Kathy beat me to the ATK reviews!
I have to say, for my purposes, the 5-qt Rival I got at Target for $15 has worked just fine. I would like to have a timer, but a "modest 5-lb roast" would feed DH and me for several weeks, and if I'm cooking for a crowd I'm likely to be in the kitchen all day and can just use the oven.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, I was just wondering about their definition of "modest"...

I think since fish and veggies don't necessarily need slow cooking the same way certain cuts of meat do, they're not going to be at the forefront of an equipment test.

Oh crap - I just realized I'm skipping the Business Update meeting. Hopefully nothing important will be announced, because I need to eat.

Oh yeah, that makes sense.
The way megan described the clam chowder and various other non-meat things she'd made made me re-think the idea of a slow-cooker. I never thought I'd want one, but I love the idea of coming home to a hot meal!

The last thing I made in mine was a veggie chili. It was pretty awesome.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
cheap oval rival crockpot here. I have no need for a 5 pound pot roast. the only thing I don't have on it that would be nice -- the ability to program it to start on high for an hour or two and then drop it to low. But if you are cooking fish or veggies -- you probably don't need to worry about that

Java, here:
Sorry there are no measurements on the spices - I've been making this for almost 15 years, so everything is eyeballed.
