My Crockpot, The Original Slow Cooker Review

Yesterday I made the best soup in my crockpot, using my prep sink of course 😉 We are a soup obsessed family, especially in the winter time. I usually make a soup in the crockpot twice a month just to have in the fridge. My sister came across this recipe one year after Christmas. It is Holly’s slow cooker corn chowder from her blog Spend With Pennies she has one of my favorite food blogs! We do alter it and use honey cured ham instead of bacon, we did this originally to use up the Christmas ham leftovers and it was so good.

Last year I purchased my Crockpot, after have a different slow cooker for a few years. My old slow cooker’s temperature gage went haywire and it was running way too hot. It would dry out all my meat if I didn’t shorten the time frame. Who wants to do that? The best part of a slow cooker is filling it up and letting it “slow” cook all day. The longer it cooks the better everything tastes! It became very difficult guessing what the actual time should be for each recipe. The last straw was when it ruined a pot roast I made one football Sunday for company. It went directly in the trash and I hopped on the computer to research the best slow cookers as I couldn’t live without one. I have been happily using my Crockpot, the original slow cooker ever since 🤗

I have the six quart Crockpot, they do make mine in larger sizes FYI. I also like how the lid has snaps that clasp onto the sides to seal it for easy transport. The digital timer is so easy to use. Simply pick high or low and set the timer, it will automatically switch to warm once the timer finishes. Here is the one I use –
