Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Just yesterday I pulled my significant other's hand-me-down slow cooker out of the cupboard, only to discover that it's not the traditional crockpot but instead has a ceramic pot that sits on, not in, a heating unit. According to both crockpot cookbooks I've read, this style doesn't work very well, but unless I buy a new crockpot, it's what I've got. Does anyone have one of these? Any recipes/suggestions?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 I used to have one of these and had no significant problems using it as a slow cooker. I think the only big difference (besides the ceramic pot being on top of the heating element) was that there were 5 heat settings instead of the traditional 2. So try it out! :-) Eric - Amelia Kridler Vegan Crockpot Cooking Tuesday, June 11, 2002 9:58 AM slow cooker vs. crockpot Just yesterday I pulled my significant other's hand-me-down slow cookerout of the cupboard, only to discover that it's not the traditionalcrockpot but instead has a ceramic pot that sits on, not in, a heatingunit.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Like I said, it sits on top of the heating unit instead of inside it (which is what I think of when I think " crockpot " ). When I get home this evening I can look up the brand name.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Thanks for the encouragement! I found an enchilada casserole I want to try, and rice pudding, mmm... I'd like to make baked beans and similar but my housemates voted me down-- " Those are for winter, it's 90 degrees outside! " I think I already asked this but...are there really good crockpot cookbooks out there? Should I just read whatever the library's got, or is there one that's worth buying?
