LOVE it :rockon

Now I just want to make sure my slow cooker doesn't contain lead!

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

:hunh how do you do that? I hope mine doesn't! Never heard of lead in slow cookers... :no2

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

This is great! I love the crock pot during the first trimester of pregnancy because you can put it in the garage and don't have to smell it!

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

i'm sorry, but :lol and you know, i wouldn't have thought of that :no (note- file that thought away in case needed someday)

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

I don't know... but looks like most of them do? Thread about it at mothering http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=789962

I think there was a thread here too, I'll see if I can find it

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

I appreciated that there are vegetarian and vegan recipes also :tu I have a hard time coming up with ideas that don't include meat when looking at slow cooker recipes :sigh

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

And many contain soy, which is a challenge for me.

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

I just ordered a new Hamilton Beach one. My mom broke the stonewear in my old one. It is lead free and it comes as a 3-`1....it has a 2 qt, 4qt and 6qt crocks. The reviews on amazon were really good. I can't wait until it gets here.

Thank you so much for this link! I"ve already used one of her ideas (modified for what I had at home).

I NEED to use my Crock this year, b/c evenings with homework and baths are absolutely crazy... If I don't get dinner started or done early in the day, it doesn't happen. :shifty

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

How fun! :)

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

Oh, I'd love that one! After doing more research, I think I need to get rid of my Rival one. Do you know if all Hamilton Beach ones are lead free? or just that particular model?
(well I guess they have different colors, but they are all the same I'm sure)

Sorry to be so off topic :O

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

From what I saw on threads online and on mothering...all hamilton beach are lead free. :) I have rival before this one too.

I got the black/stainless one. :heart

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

thank you! SO much :heart

I'm going to check out deals on Amazon...

Re: A Year of Crockpotting
 

She's done all 365 recipes, and has some good FAQs at the top now. :) I didn't realize I need to be filling the crockpot at least 2/3 full or it will cook too hot. That may be why my steel cut oats are always stuck to the sides in the morning. :think So a smaller crockpot would be a good choice for that. Such a cool blog! :heart
