Goodbye, Crockpot

My trusy Crockpot is in slowcooker heaven. One day after our festive Cinco De Mayo potluck at work last week, I dropped it and the crock broke into many big, chunky ceramic pieces. I’ve been on the search for a replacement but felt a little sad about the Rival Crockpot I inherited from my mom. At least I got a lot of use out of it though, something mom would be proud of. It’s cooked everything from steel cut oatmeal to a lamb shank I impressed my boyfriend with. Thank-you, you old crock.
So last night BF and I shopped for a new one. We went ahead with a Hamilton Beach slow cooker. It’s a super basic model, doesn’t even have a timer, but I felt it fit my needs just right plus the price was within my budget. I can’t wait to try it out this weekend. Will keep you all posted!

It worked beautifully on the ribs you made last Sat. Is that recipe on your Blog?
