I love crock pots too. Granted, one sometimes gets less than ideal results if something's WAY overcooked, but I love having a great hot meal in the summer-time without using the HOT ovens in a tiny, contained space on the counter-top... and I love the magic of throwing stuff in it- leaving the house for a few hours and returning to delicious aromas wafting throughout the house!
It's a totally lacking meal in some respects, but to me one of the finest kitchens aromas in the world is a dish my Mom often made: throw a beef roast in the slow cooker. Add an envelope of Lipton French Onion Soup Mix, a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup and a small swaller of burgndy or merlot (2-3 Tablespoons). MMM, MMMM, MMMM!

I love my RIVAL crockpot and use it a lot. I mainly make stews and soups in it. I have made desserts too.

My wife has one and has used it only once. However, I use it quite a bit. Her problem with a crockpot is she doesn't know what she will want 8 to 10 hours from now. As far as myself, I love them.

I would like to know if anyone can tell me what the difference is between a crock pot and a slow cooker. Some say that it's a slow cooker and some say it's a crock pot and yet others have both on the box. I just don't get it. I was just wondering if someone could answer this for me. Thank you. My sister and I both are trying to figure this out.
Technically we should call them "Slow Cookers". CrockPot is a trade name of the Rival brand so all others should be listed as slow cookers.
