A crockpot/slow cooker is good if you don't want to be going to the kitchen
and checking on something cooking at regular intervals. It's really an
outstanding tool for meats that require long, slow cooking times that you
don't want to be heating up the kitchen by using the oven. Of course, this
is moot in the wintertime when you might want that heat, but a crockpot
doesn't use near as much energy as the oven.
