What is this “actually innocent” fuckery? If your conviction is overturned, you’re right back at “innocent until proven guilty.” There’s no “double chocolate innocent with whipped cream and sprinkles.” Innocent is innocent.

Damn it Florida. I have taught history. Which means I am educated. Which means I know that to teach history and believe this crap you have to be a willfully ignorant dumb ass holding onto white supremacy as something you think is based in “facts”.

Great idea! When I don’t go back to check, I worry all day that by leaving the toaster plugged in, I am putting my pets in a huge safety risk, because who will save them if my carelessness causes the toaster to self-combust?

There is actually a lesson here. It ain’t about a crockpot though. It’s about the smoke detector. Batteries people. It’s easy to blame the crockpot but he could have survived had the batteries been replaced in the smoke detector.

I actually love my slow cooker but I mostly use it for roasts, soups and stews. I avoid the pinterest-y recipes like the ones you’re describing because they are indeed garbage. I make pulled chicken breast in my cooker a lot and then use it for BBQ or to make enchiladas, etc.

You’ve never had my grandmother’s Grandma Beans, slow-cooked in a Crock Pot. If you had, you’d never have let such slanderous utterances pass your lips.

The weird thing, it’s all metal (heating element) and ceramic.... There is no reason for it to have a weird plastic taste!

That happened to me once. I upgraded from my small slow cooker, which I loved, to a larger one that had the timer and the varying heat levels. The first 3 times I used the new one, it was great. The fourth time, something was....off. Like a musty spice smell that just lingered. No matter how much white vinegar soaking…

Huh that’s weird. I’ve even cooked lasagna in a crock pot and it comes out tasting just like regular lasagna from the oven.

I’m the same — but I’ll use it at home on the weekend, but go and run quick errands while it is on. Part of the reason is my work day is very long with my commute and things would be on for 12 hours and be ruined and part of it is I am scared that it will melt or otherwise catch fire and burn down my apt.

As someone who lives in the same household with a person who does watch the show, I find it hilarious that people have watched the show have known for the longest time that dude was gonna die, kept asking, how and when dude was gonna die, and still get super upset that dude is about to die.

I imagine This Is Us is a show that endlessly airs in The Bad Place. You fat dinks.

Wat wat waaat, I don’t cook but have helped myself to many a crockpot dish and it’s always delicious

Are you cooking with herbs and spices? If you throw those in at the beginning, all the flavor cooks out. Maybe that’s what’s tasting weird. I hardly ever use mine for soup and stew and stuff like that, but when I do, I hold the spices back until the last 30 minutes or so. The house doesn’t smell as nice but the food…

I have no idea what you are talking about, but they do make crockpot liners for easier cleanup... I would think they would help this phenomenon.

#NotAllCrockPots

There’s something about root vegetables and that long cook - they do make anything cooked in a slow cooker taste weird. I don’t mind it, but my boyfriend hates it. You are not imagining it !

There is nothing more American than worrying about shit that we don’t need to worry about and ignoring shit that will actually kill us (i.e. not wearing your seatbelt, domestic violence, heart disease).

#NotAllCrockPots

Are you kidding me with this nonsense? America, we need to be smarter than this. Spit that Tide Pod you’ve got in your mouth out and go get your Crock Pot out of the trash.
