Sentimental over a fugking crock pot.

You guys dont have a friggin oven?
Yeah. Would you leave chit in it cooking while you were gone to work? I live at work. Also...I dont have to clean my oven every time I use it and put it back in the cupboard. I don't. You surely clean whatever pot or pan you put the food into to cook in the oven. You can cook a pizza right on the rack. Better that way.
I am MAGA.

I'm sure mine wasn't the oldest. It lasted from '93 through the first part of 2019 - far longer than the marriage for which it was gifted to me... The crock was replaced once (dropped), and the heating element eventually died. Replacement runs like a champ. We're on our 3rd "fun-sized" crock pot for lunches. The cord design on the first 2 lent itself to the wires fraying where it enters the unit: much like the OP mentioned on his full-sized unit. The most recent one seems to have addressed that with an updated design. Mrs. FC uses this one 1 to 3 times a week to warm up lunch @ work. FC

Got a electric pressure cooker now. Crockpot is retired. Same here. InstaPot, the crockpot is obsolete. Roasts, Stews, Soups in a fraction of the time.

Crockpots last 20 years.
Every Christmas the stores have pallets of new crockpots.
Surely everyone in the world who ever wanted a crockpot has one already.
So who's buying the new ones? The people from 20 years ago?

I've bought a few. Kids wanted to take rotel dip somewhere, I said sure. I bought a crock pot and told them just toss it when you get finished.

I don't like the newer ones.
Clear full of stuff, they are hot enough that they will reach and maintain
a decent boil, turned on low.
Those older ones would stay under that.
Our last one has a warm setting, once it's hot we turn to that.
But that only works if you're home.
Modern crap.
Stoves that are so "efficient" they take forever to get hot,
Washers and dishwashers that are so "efficient" they don't clean,
crockpot slowcookers built so "foodsafe" they overheat.
WTF?
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Let's pray Gruff's toaster oven make it into January.
I'd hate for him to wind up on suicide watch.

Slight topic change here, but.... Years ago I played a little basketball. I mean VERY little. The guys on the Church Leauge team nick named me "Crockpot" because it took me the whole game to warm up!
