Hazel's 5 reasons for having a crockpot

I have been asked many times about why I use a crockpot so here are the top 5 reasons that I always give:

1. Simplicity - Toss a few ingredients into one pot, plug it up, turn it on, go to work and when you get home, you have dinner...
2. Economical - Using a slow cooker can save you money. It cost less to make your meal in one crockpot over cooking a meal in an oven and/or on the stove...
3. Versatile - You can make everything from meats, vegetables, casseroles, breads, desserts and so much more...
4. Time-saving - Dinner is ready when you get, so you have more time for family, friends and other activities that you wouldn't have if you had to make dinner the old-fashioned way...using a stove...
5. Popularity - The crockpot does all the work and you take all the credit...
