I love my crockpot and could not live without it! I can totally relate to your new crockpot excitement and how perfect it will be to take dinner on the run come baseball season.

I will never forget registering for and receiving a crock pot for our wedding 15 years ago. Low and behold, we opened the box and discovered an, oh, I'd say 1972-ish, new in the box, olive green 1 piece crock pot from KMart. This was pre-bar code, so there was really no way of knowing exactly how old it was. Needless to say, K Mart wouldn't let me return it. It has to go in the hall of fame of classic re-gifts. Enjoy your new fancy crock pot!

Enjoy the new cooker! I also have one something like your old one, plus another 10 yr. old cooker that is still going strong. I love crockpot meals!

I have the same one as our old one but we just got it a few months ago. I love it. I hope it lasts 3 years like yours did. It's great! We use it all the time.

Kim,

You need to try the slow cooker liners. They make clean up so easy. Reynolds Wrap makes them.

I had the same old crockpot as you but in white and mine cracked a few months ago. I asked for the exact same one though and got the one you have pictured for Christmas. I just loved it so decided to keep it!

Oh how fun!!!

our crockpot came w/3 sizes of crocks :) 2,4 & 6 & I love that I can use it 3 days in a row w/o the fast scramble to scrub the crock (b/c sometimes they NEED to soak)

I love my crockpot too, it was a lifesaver when I worked fulltime. Nothing like walking in after a hard days work to the smell of simmering beef stew!!! We got a new one a few months ago but I didn't bother with the digital one this time cuz I'm home to turn it on/off. Yours is gorgeous!

I've had the same cream and blue country style crock pot for 20 years and it still is going strong. I finally broke down and bought a larger one like the top photo because I wanted a more contemporary looking one. I am planning on using it today to slow cook some meat. I hope it lasts as long as my old style one.
Your new Hamilton Beach slow cooker is perfect for you. You are such a good mom thinking ahead!
