Low, High and Burn Down Your House?

Ditto on the unplugging. It’s also good to unplug appliances not in use, because they still draw phantom power. The wasted electricity can make up something like 10% of your electric bill.

My sister still has my moms from the 70s. It’s that burnt sienna color. Works great, but only has like 3 settings.

My mom, who was an experienced pressure cooker user, somehow blew up a lot of beans before my sibling’s first holy communion. There we were in our Sunday best, cleaning beans off the ceiling. I have never and will never use a pressure cooker myself. Beans. On the goddamn ceiling.

My anxiety would never allow me to leave a crock pot on all day while I was at work. Plus, I hate when my apartment smells like food. Plus Cat Singular would have/cause problems if she was smelling food all day and not getting any.

I assumed the faulty switch caused it to not actually turn off then it shorted out. Personally I always unplug an appliance once I’m done with it because I am super paranoid.

This show. Goddammit I used to love it, but I am afraid I may be done. Like Jack and Rebecca would really still be using a crockpot in 1997 that was given to them in 1980. Plus, I thought I heard the guy tell them it was already 14 years old when he gave it to them in 1980. No fucking way, they would have bought a new…

It’s like I always say: “Never accept gifts of used home appliances from elderly neighbors who are moving out of their house.”

Well....the hair and makeup is bad.

The show has different timelines, but he is playing the father of 17 year olds some of the time.

Except the rice cooker cooks rice BETTER than I could cook rice. It just does. Don’t know why. Magic. But there’s no machine that can make a stew or other meal better than I can make it. Convenience, fine...I get it.

I just really hate Milo’s hair and facial hair in this and he looks so old and it’s freaking me out because I’m rewatching Gilmore Girls rn and...it was on while I was in college...I can’t be this old.

I don’t care how many supposedly dreamy tv husbands it kills; y’all better NOT come for my Crock Pot. I just ate the most delicious chicken tacos that were ready when I got home from work because they had been cooking in the Crock Pot all day.

They’re good because you can throw a bunch of stuff in them in the morning, turn it on low, go to work(and leave it, knowing it’s quite safe), and come home to a meal of tender, slow-cooked food. They’re perfect for low-hassle meals, and for people who like to walk away from the kitchen while the food is cooking (like…

I was pleased to know the inventor of the crock pot. Downer Dykes was a motorcycle riding outlaw inventor who happened to be married to my Jr high school English teacher. RIP Downer.

Well, similar concept to a rice cooker - except it’s a whole meal (soup / stew / chili / curry, etc), not just rice.

I do not own a crock pot. Have never cooked a meal in one. Have no idea why people want one/use one/own one. Now if this show went after my rice cooker...that shit would be ON!

Pressure cookers are back!! Hopefully they’ll have an Instapot kill someone next.

Death by Crock-Pot has always been one of my go-to paranoias. That’s why I always stand and watch my Crock-Pot whenever it’s plugged in and operating.

Before crockpots? Pressure cookers!!! Now there was an accident always waiting to happen.
