I don't know what the difference is between a crock pot and a slow cooker thought they were the same. We had a small sunbeam one last year it was good cooked enough for like four people really lol But it broke and Bruce just bought me a Zip one from Briscoes for mothers day. Its only the small one but I can cook enough for two nights worth of dinners in it and it cooks great. I got given a couple of slow cooker recipe books as well and use it all the time!!!

MIL still has a oval sunbeam one though and swears by it, They have the LARGE one and she regularly cooks for just the two of them in it but its big enough to do silverside in so best of both worlds I guess lol ]]> Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:40:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16820&PID=420978&title=so-i-need-a-new-crockpot#420978 <![CDATA[so i need a new crockpot... : And if u only wanna cook one meal...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16820&PID=420889&title=so-i-need-a-new-crockpot#420889 Author: Kellz

We've got the big Zip one, and it's been great here.  Going on a year now, and I can easily make 2 big meals in it.

Jess, sometimes the elements are screwy due to a manufacturing fault. If it's still within it's warranty (normally between 12 & 24 months) you can take it back to the store you purchased it from and they can either provide you with another (still under warranty) OR give you a refund]]> Sun, 11 May 2008 14:28:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16820&PID=380358&title=so-i-need-a-new-crockpot#380358 <![CDATA[so i need a new crockpot... : oops sorry Jess, I didnt answer...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16820&PID=379903&title=so-i-need-a-new-crockpot#379903 Author: aussiegirl

That's good to know!
Our slow cooker is a Zip one though and has been going strong since Christmas '06! I use it a lot and truly it! Hopefully Daikini's DH is right!

We have a sunbeam 4.5 litre one. It roasts whole chickens even though it's not the biggest model. I also find it cooks a little quicker than the times given in the crockpot recipes I have.

We got it from appliance shed - was nice and cheap though I don't remember the exact price.

Oh and I should add - I LOVE it! My family would starve if we didn't have it since it's the only way I can produce dinner.
