I definitely think it's worth owning at least two crockpots. With removable, dishwasher-safe stoneware liners, you can have one in the dishwasher while the other is in use. For more information about crockpot cooking, see Crockpot 101. And be sure to browse through my Crockpot Recipe Box for more ideas and recipes. Have a wonderful weekend!
Friday Dinner
This super easy menu is perfect for a delicious dinner that's ready when you get home from work. If you don't want to cook rice in the crockpot, get some of that wonderful frozen rice that takes just a few minutes in the microwave to heat up to fluffy perfection.
