How good are these things? Sounds like a good deal. You throw in some meat and a few vegetables and you come back a few hours later and dinner is ready.
There was another thread on this. Whats not to like about something that cooks your food while you are away? And it can be anything. It doesnt have to be soups. Ive dry cooked chickens in them, made pulled pork, bone broths.
Crockpots are fucking awesome. You put in whatever you want and come back in a few hours to an awesome pot of goodness. The whole house smells fantastic also. Meat is tender and falls apart. Super easy to clean afterwards.
