Just an observation. Been doing a lot of pot lucks for the kids' various school and extra-curricular stuff. Seems the made in the USA crocks with the simplest of off/lo/hi settings last for 30+ years. The made overseas versions with digital everything last 4-5.

@tinsami1 You're better off looking for a deal locally. Automatic power supplies are DC switching units, it's a pretty simple thing to do in that domain. AFAIK, crock-pots work with heating elements running on AC and temperature controlled by a simple TRIAC. Doubling the voltage in would double the heat out. Assuming nothing blew up/caught fire, it would likely destroy the heating element pretty quickly.

PSA. Don't cook with the lid latched like that. Steam can build up and very bad things happen when hot steam is kept under pressure and released very quickly when you go to undo the latch. They are for transportation only. Thank you!

@shawnthegirl That vent is tiny. You really should not cook with it latched. I'm almost certain the user manual has warnings about this.

ETA - Crock Pot indeed does recommend against it.

Can I use the Cook & Carry™ locking lid when my slow cooker is cooking?
If your Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker includes the Cook & Carry™ slow cooker locking lid feature on the glass lid, the unit should not be in the locked position while cooking.

@communist My current model has the same feature. I like that I don't have to be home (I can leave something cooking while at a full day of work) and I don't worry that the food cooks into mush. I don't recall ever having a life crisis over the hours not matching what I needed, and if I am home, I just go mash buttons again after a few hours if necessary.

So I'm thinking that @jasontoon has not attended many potlucks or church socials in his sheltered life. The dishes of Lil Smokies cocktail weiners or sweet, richly sauced meatballs are full of the most improbable ingredients, yet are heaven in your mouth. My go-to meatball recipe for these functions is the grape jelly and chili sauce one. Here below the Mason Dixon line, Smokies, meatballs and chili sauce are scarce on shelves until after January 1st. Heaven in your mouth, you just don't need to know what went in it.

I literally used a crockpot for the first time this thanksgiving to slow cook the stuffing. Turned out great, though a little burned on the bottom.

Mine is definitely a base model of some sort, with only a dial for Low, Warm, High (and definitely no latches). Pretty much this:

I'd have to double-check the size, but I think it's on par with the one offered today. So here's my question... is this one, that appears to have more temperature versatility, worth the purchase over what I own today? Or is that just gadget gimmickery?

As I said, I'm pretty new to this kind of cooking, we just happen to have one in garage and used it on short order. Thanks!

@ACraigL generally anything you're going to cook in a crock doesn't need anything more specific than the low, high, warm dial there. soups/broths (especially anything with bones in it) and chilis and pot roasts etc.

@ACraigL Personally, I had a crock pot that was just the temperature dial and recently upgraded to one that has a timer and I really like that feature. If I throw stuff in and go to work, I don't have to worry about things getting overcooked because traffic kept me from getting home in time or something.

Welcome to the modern age, how about a pressure cooker? I'd be up for one and I'm sure other as well. We are looking for a great meal in under an hour, not 4-8 hours.

Reply
Whisper

I have an older model of this and it's a PITA sometimes. You cannot just turn it on the "warm" setting. So, if you're slow-cooking and determine that food is done and you want to just put it on warm, you are out of luck. It has to actually run through the timer and then switch itself over to warm. So, basically, you have to turn it off unless you want to burn your food. But, then you have no way to keep it warm. If they have changed this restriction I would buy this in a second and throw my old one out.

I've also found that the "low" setting is just as hot as the "high" setting. It's almost like, "Cook your food at a constant temperature for 4, 6, 8, or 10 hours". Maybe mine is malfunctioning, but I doubt it since it's been that way since I bought it. There is very little temperature difference in these settings.

@jsh139 In the Amazon Q&A someone asks about the Warm setting, and several people indicate that you can set it to Warm manually.
