I want to try crock pot meals but the only one I have is the really small like $15 dollar one I got at an Elephant gift exchange.
Any recs? Nothing too fancy or expensive. We will be a family of 4 soon. Bonus points for links!

I have a large crockpot and a small crockpot. The large one is too heavy so I haven't used it in a while, but would love to use the small one. Maybe chili?

I have one Hamilton Beach that has a locking lid that was about $30. However, it doesn't have a timer and I very much wish it did, so if I could do it over I'd look for one that has both of those features...

I have large one with timer. I think it was $70 new but I found it used on CL for half the price. I love it.
This one looks pretty cool.

I wanted one with an insert that I could use on the stovetop to brown meat. If I am going to use the crockpot, I really don't want to use more than one pan.
I am not sure which one it is, but it's similar to this one.

Something that has an automatic turnoff and a keep warm setting is a must if you work long days, it's good to know that it will stop cooking after 6 hours or whatever.

It seems to me that slow cookers are always killer deals on black Friday, if you can wait that long!

I have this one. It has a removable inside so you can do stovetop to slowcooker and it is programable with a warm setting. Love it.

I have this one and love it. Not sure what your budget is or what you would consider pricey. I had my mom's 70s crockpot and used it for about 15 years so this is the first one I ever purchased; knowing it would get heavy use and that I needed the auto keep warm feature, I felt that the price was reasonable (that said, I think it was $60 when I purchased it). Hamilton Beach makes comparable ones for $50. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KVZTFO?keywords=crockpot&qid=1445025395&redirect=true&ref_=nav_custrec_signin&ref_=sr_1_24&s=kitchen&sr=1-24
