About the only thing I use a crock pot for is for Vietnamese Pho Soup. You need to boil the bones for 6 - 8 hours, and the crock pot is perfect for that. I only make the soup a few times a year, so if I didn't own one, I'd just use a pot.

They're probably useful if you can get home at lunch, and start a soup for dinner. It doesn't have to be beef soup, could be chicken soup. Both need to cook for a while to get the flavor out of the bones. A crock pot might also be useful for slow cooking chili recipes.

Crock pots can be useful for office/company pot luck holiday parties. I have a crockpot and that's how I've used it.

My family really enjoys corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Corned beef and cabbage must be slow cooked for several hours and therefore, is well suited for a crock pot. We have a large crock pot for making dinner recipes and a smaller one that can be used for parties. The small one is great for making meatballs and keeping them warm for a party.

I'm a crock-potting fool (mainly in the wintertime). The one thing I haven't tried making in a crock pot yet is a dessert, but I keep seeing fabulous-looking gooey chocolate type dessert recipes for the crockpot and I think..."might have to try that soon!"

My favorite part about crockpot cooking is how you can come home to a house filled with the smell of a yummy dinner.

Raquelita -

Of course it is your preference - but I could not live without one! Using one is just like using a Dutch oven and slow cooking in the oven for hours. A crockpot/slow cooker can be used to cook anything - appetizers, beverages, desserts, cakes, breads, casseroles, soups, stews, meats/poultry/game, etc., pasta dishes, sauces, sandwiches - you name it. I do use mine all year 'round (actually I have a 1-qt., two 3 1/2 qt. and a 6 qt.) and I love it during the summer months because I don't need to use the oven and the house stays cooler.

If you need any particular recipes for foods you enjoy - just ask - I have many for the crockpot and I am willing to share them with anyone who would like them!

But this is just my opinion -

:p
