I remember you mentioning it in another thread and it sounds awesome! We received a pressure cooker as a gift, and now have a 3-in-1 slow cooker. It would be great to have just one thing though--those appliances take up a lot of real estate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-crock-pot#post-1377624 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 22:05:26 +0000 mrs. bird 1377624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: the pressure cooker/ slow cooker/ rice cooker? i have one like that (dif brand) and love it! and it has the programable feature which is nice. i use mine all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-crock-pot#post-1377616 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 22:01:58 +0000 LindsayInNY 1377616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get one with a timer. Sometimes it needs to start mid-day to be ready by the time I get home (later). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-crock-pot#post-1377541 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 20:55:59 +0000 Happygal 1377541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got one where you can also brown and saute in it. It is by Cuisinart. It's great! I can get nice color on onions and meats without having to dirty another pan, and it's easy to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-crock-pot#post-1377490 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 20:32:09 +0000 blackbird 1377490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the one mrs bird and Americas yet kitchen recommend and it was on amazon for $80 last year I think </p> <p>One feature I wish it had was to be programmed for when to go on. I want to put my food together or pull it from the fridge at 6am, have it turn on at 10, and go for 6 hours. It doesn't have a start delay, though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-crock-pot#post-1377474 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 20:22:54 +0000 jhd 1377474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I have one similar to the one @NCSUchick27: posted only it's not programmable.
