I finally decided to buy a crockpot (slow cooker). Walmart had a big anniversary sale and I got this large 7qt one for $22 not including tax. It seemed like a reasonable price although to be honest I didn't do much research. I couldn't wait to try it out as I've never used one. I was thinking slow-baked ribs. Well, stupid me, I misread the icons on the control button...They meant low high warm in that order. Well, I thought the warm button was the high button. After 5 hours I had to discard the ribs as you're not supposed to cook on warm and I feared bacteria must have built up after all that time on warm. I did read the manual, but it never explained the icons.
Anyway, I tried the ribs again the next day and they were successful and quite delicious. Nothing beats slow cooked ribs! It was so easy, just add the spices and turn the cooker on to the correct setting!
I did some research after the fact and it seems I got a nice stoneware one with a glass cover and 3 settings which is good enough. It suggests purchasing crockpot liners for easy cleanup. You can make roasts or whole chickens with this size. I understand you really don't even need liners.
Do you use a slow cooker?
