Regarding a recent mention here of someone on the tube using a crock pot
insert stove top to brown meat: I was leafing through the October 2011
issue of Good Housekeeping and stumbled on to their reviews of "Super
Slow Cookers".

The West Bend 6 quart model # 84966, mslp $80 is described by GH thusly:
"The compact West Bend may be a godsend to anyone with a small
kitchen. As a slow-cooker, it simmers nicely on low heat, producing a
moist roast. The dishwasher safe nonstick pot can be used on the stove
or in the oven, and the base doubles as a griddle and warming tray."

Hey - great wedding gift idea. I think we ALL remember those first
apts. Mine had counter space of about 10 linear inches somewhere
between the small stove and single sink.
