What Make Crock Pot do You Recommend?!
ThanksWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I just purchased one yesterday because my other died after 10 years usage!. I got a Hamilton Beach!.
I recommend it for a couple of reasons!. It cooked a 6 pound Boston butt roast for pulled pork sandwiches in a little under 5 hours!.
The other reason is the lid locks with the spoon for easy transport and it has a "warm" option as opposed to the standard low or high!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
