Suggestions for a CrockPot (we need a new one)
Our crock pot must finally be breaking or something. It keeps going to "stay warm" when we're trying to cook something...
Any suggestions?

Re: Suggestions for a CrockPot (we need a new one)
There are a lot of options out there - from no frills to a lot of bells and whistles. So I guess it depends on how often you use it and for what purposes and what you want to spend. I think the $30 ones will get the job done same as the $200 ones, but maybe don't have all the features.
I couldn't find mine online to show you but I have a pretty cheap Crock Pot brand cooker with a 10 hour setting. It isn't programmable. I got it thinking I could use it all day since it has the 10 hour setting, but I find that the food gets overcooked if I do it that long (we are only 2 people so I don't cook HUGE roasts or anything). I usually use it at home on the weekends, so I wouldn't want a more expensive one.
If I was getting a new one, i would get a stainless one to match the rest of my kitchen. I have used it as a serving piece when having a party - I put hot drinks in there and it stays warm all night. You can also use it to serve hot food, so I would buy a nicer looking one now for those purposes.

Get the crock pot brand. A removable liner is a must. Warm setting is great. Programmable is awesome i have heard but more pricey. I'd get at least 4.5 quart one. Oval is better than round for cooking cuts of meat and such. (to fit them in)

Re: Suggestions for a CrockPot (we need a new one)
crate and barrel has a delonghi one on sale.
though it could be a slow cooker.
I have one that I have yet to use
I really want the All Clad b/c you can brown on the stove top with the insert and then put it right into the cooker. sadly mine is not so fancy.
