Let’s talk crock pots & slow cookers. It does look like Phil may have had it right, seeing his shadow. The cold weather is back so I thought we’d dig out that crock pot once again. I don’t hear any complaints!
First, the facts. The first actual slow cooker was introduced in the early 1970 by Rival, under the trademark ‘Crock-Pot’. Today, two models of this appliance are on the market: multi-cookers & the original slow cooker. Multi-cookers are highly useful & functional in that they can be used to deep-fry, steam & slow cook; while slow cookers generally just have an insert that rests in a metal housing unit only intended to do just that- slow cook.
A fantastic multi-cooker on the market is the Deni 5-In-1 Multi-Cooker. This versatile multi-cooker lets you deep fry, slow cook, sauté, bake and boil in one convenient appliance. Very handy around the kitchen. Cost, $100.
Stay tuned for the upcoming I’ve Died & Gone to Heaven Chicken Slow Cooker / Crock Pot Recipe.

I run a related blog and recently was quoted saying…
