crock-pot dating
like carbon dating, not social dating.
Interesting concept. I was just reading on Average Jane’s blog.
When I was getting my own small kitchen appliances, i had a west Bend crock (non crockery on a heating plate base) and a 6 quart electric pot. It would be a few more years before I got my first crock pot, a light blue one, that didn’t have a removable crock. it was a pain to clean, and I did not find it very useful.
20 years later, and I have 3 crockpots. One is a small red one, one a large green one, and one a shiny chrome one (with electronic heat sensors and a cover lock for traveling)
.
It took me years to figure out how to make one work, and now that I have, I love my crockpots. But then, as I have said, I am a kitchen gadget whore. some day, i will attempt to list them…if not for you…all of my multiplicities of readers, then for myself!

psst… its nice to see you again!

I think that it is a very interesting and amusing article. Practically all its main points are true.
