Okay, Karlmarx cracks me up in an Old Skool Red Diaper Baby kind of way, but Stalin and Staliny? Because one kid named after a totalitarian dictator wasn't enough?
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

The small round ones are generally pretty stripped down, yeah. But also, it's hard to find recipes for them. I think you might be better off with one of the 5 - 6 quart models.
But here's a programmable 3 quart one. Not super cheap, but not $100 either.

Yeah, I don't know. She had kind of shifted the pronunciation so it was pretty close to Stephanie, but I don't know how the boy handled it!

I don't suppose his middle name was a viable option?

Oh, nice. I wonder if that's the one Cooks Illustrated was going to recommend. I refuse to sign up with CI just to read their reviews and recipes--though yes, that's their business model, they're prerogative, etc, but ignoring them is mine too. End rant out of nowhere.
I'm cooking for two people, and I don't have a working freezer. Too many leftovers means food gets thrown out.

I really don't get the appeal of slowcookers for one or two people. I guess it's just not for me. Not how I was raised!
So I haven't actually read this, because it's about (a) Supernatural and (b) sisters, and I don't have time, but the comments say it's great and possibly makes you cry? [link] Enjoy.

I mostly use mine to make soups that need hours to cook, because I can just toss everything in it and walk away. I can't do that with a pot on the stove, what with an open flame + foolhardy kittens = disaster.
Split pea soup, for example. Which reminds me that I should make that sometime soon.

Oh yeah, I have never made split pea soup (I don't think), but also would have no problem cooking it on the stovetop for hours. Pot roasts and stuff, I just make in the oven. I guess I just think of those as weekend tasks, and I am generally home for hours at a time on the weekend at some point. (And when I make a pot roast, it turns into like a month of dinners for me, so Big Cooking doesn't happen that often.)

I dislike cooking, and the idea of having a big pile of something that I have to eat through is unappetizing. But having a pot of stroganoff ready to go when I get home appeals.
