Those reviewed are the 4.0 to 7 quart cookers, some round, some oval

RECOMENDED:Fraberware Millenium , West Bend Versatility ,Proctor
Silex #33627

RECOMMENDED.WITH RESERVATIONS: Rival Recipe Smart Pot , Recipe Smart
Pot.

NOT Recommended: Toastmaster # 1320, Hamilton Beach Meat Maker ,
West Bend Crockery Cooker.

Also recommended is the accessory that Cooker plugs into and in turn,
plugs into the AC outlet: When the specific Cooker setting has been
reached it will turn to Very Lowlow; No need to fear and rush home to
find your food overcooked. About $10.00

Oval shaped Slow Cookers allow larger, bulky cuts of meat.

I just bought the Farberware Millenium at Amazon.com for 33.00, free
shipping. This, after hours of online window shopping for the best
price. Street Price is about $39., some sell for $49 and 59 , one
wants almost 16.00 for shipping.

Pot Roast seems to be the big reason for oval shaped slow cookers.

I got a revel crockpot biggest one I could find, I think 11 quart. I do
pot roasts and make some soups/stocks in it mostly. It does do a
excellent job on stews, chili, shredded pork and those pork shoulder
pretend hams are superb.

I find the oval shape allows a chicken to fit nicely also those pretend
hams.

Tip: Use one of those plastic oven bags in the slow cooker if you intend
to cook something that will be hard to clean up after.

Pot roast made in a pressure cooker (with gravy) can't be beat.

My pressure cooker sat unused in a cupboard for years, but I've been using
it quite a lot in the past 6-8 months. I think it does an incredible job
on pot roast, soups, and stews. Can't quite remember why I quit using it
before.

I have used a slow cooker since the mid '70s. Always got good results
by choosing the cheapest one (without a removable liner) and using it
until it stopped (rarely). Then get another. The one I use now is a
Daisy costing $13. It has been immersed.
This is not state of the art technology.

Was there a ceiling-cleaning incident that was so painful you
blotted it from your mind? (That's why my Sainted Mother(tm) put
her pressure cooker into the attic.)

No, although my aunt had a pressure-canning incident like that years ago.
I think I started grilling more, slow cooking more, and eating out more.
Now we've done a turnaround.

I put mine away because it was so hard to replace (find) the
rubber gaskets. Do "modern" pressure cookers still have
those?
