I use my crockpot for all kinds of things and find it a wonderful and worry free time saver. But one thing I didnt like about this article was the suggestion of substituting canned soups for the liquid. Who needs all that sodium? |

if you've never used a crockpot, borrow one from a friend or family member and try it out. you might find that you don't want to give it back, haha. |

I LOVE my crockpot and use it all the time. Thanks for reminding people what a great tool they are. There are a lot of crockpot cookbooks out there and once you learn to use one most things can be made in them - I even make lasagna in mine. |

I, too, would appreciate a link to healthy crock-pot recipes... it's a wonderful tool, but I'm not very imaginative! Great info, thanks. |

I found this interesting. I use my crockpot to make oatmeal. I make a weeks worth on Sunday night and Monday have it ready to go for breakfast. I divide the rest into the correct portion size and then just put them in the microwave the rest of the week. |

I also recommend the Fix-it and Forget-it Lightly coobook. The recipes are easy of course and the food is tasty. I LOVE the Crock Pot. Such an easy way to eat healthy and have it ready when you get home! |

I've always used one for some things, but I am sure I could use it for a lot more. |

I use my crockpot all the time. I recommend the Fix-it and Forget-it Lightly coobook.by Phyllis Pellman Good. Portion control - serving sizes are quite modest and each recipe lists nutritional values. The recipes are easy to make, the ingredients are easy to find and the food tastes great! This is one of my favorite cookbooks and I hope you enjoy it too. M- |

I use my crockpot at least twice a week. It is so easy and great to know that dinner will be ready when you get home after a long day at work. There are so many awesome recipes online, that you can make almost anything in them. I always use the low setting - I find that meats are more tender when cooked more slowly and since I am gone all day, that is what works for me. |

I've never used one. Now I'm tempted... |

Interesting informaton. I have a crockpot but I'm leary of leaving it on while I'm not home. I use my crockpot to make split pea soup (yummy). I found it interesting that the veggies should be put at the bottom, I always thought they took less time than meat. |

Funny story here, My son gave me 3 years ago a crock pot, never used it. Until this week, not only you have to leave it alone (and not tasting the food adding calories every time I taste it is delicious when done!) I LOVE IT! I cooked beans this week to follow my diet plan with SP and it works, and the food tastes Soo Yummy !!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Interesting. I've always cooked on the HIGH setting because I don't want to wait the full 8 hours (I'm a SAHM) but didn't think about all the problems with safety at the low setting. Thanks. |
