They can be real time-savers, and you can serve delicious meals within minutes of getting home from work or school or whatever. They kind of went out of style for a few years, though. I like to make stew, chili, soup, or even small roasts in mine. They don't create a lot of heat or use a lot of power, and the results are delicious! Most crockpots come with a recipe book or at least some recipes, and there are a number of good cookbooks out there, too. Try one and enjoy!
