I have to add to the crockpot love on here. I have a roast sitting in mine right now . It's great in the summer when I would like something hearty, but I don't want to turn on the oven and heat up the house.

I'll admit to occasionally making some less than healthy meals in there, but not usually. And, I highly doubt that crockpots are to blame for America's weight problem. Personally, I feel that a lack of self-control is much more to blame. I'm all about everything in moderation.

And, crockpots are still a wonderful thing for SAHMs who, either hate cooking, or are flat out terrible at it. It was the only way MH and I were going to get a hot dinner on a regular basis when DS was smaller. Because, as fortune would have it, his cranky time of the day would always occur just as I was trying to prepare dinner. And, I must say, listening to a baby scream while trying to make dinner gets really old after a while.
