The one concern I've had about crockpots is the lead, but even Bee, from

what I recall, is OK w/crock pots...

I found a clay oven at the thrift store, Joanne. It is a bit of a pain in

that you have to soak the base and lid in cold water for 30 minutes before

use. But it makes for a tasty roast, for sure! I found a smaller one later

on at a thrift store but passed it up...

I buy all the glass I can find!!! Glass gallon jars are at a premium!!!

We'd made contact with a guy who worked in a hospital kitchen and he was

saving the glass for us. Then came christmas and we lost track - or

something - and he stopped collecting for us! Then he said the suppliers

were not using glass so much so it would be a long time between jars

saved.... :-((

I have just remembered another benefit of the slow cooker, it has helped me

get rid of the aliminium foil I used to use (bad girl I know, but I did not

know back then)

 

Right now I am on the hunt for clay pottery. Eventually I am hoping to only

have clay pots and maybe even plates, may take a while but from the few I do

have I can see the tremendous advantages, and just generally feel it is

safer to cook this way

 

Glass too! A friend from freecycle kindly gave me a load of glass jars that

I am using to store more and more of my stuff in. I even think this makes

the food taste better, and it is certainly making my kitchen feel and look

more homely
