The only problem I have with slow cooking is that you generally have to make more than you really want (unless you have multiple people eating). I haven't tried those personal size crockpots yet (I already have two slow cookers so a third is pushing it). But it'd be nice to be able to shrink the portions to cut down on any waste.

Oh, it probably wouldn't be used for much else for me. They're not sophisticated enough to have a pre-cook setting and if you leave anything in there like noodles, go to work and come back, it's likely to be mush. But it might be nice to set up a soup or stew, go do a chore like exercise or shovelling snow and come back to a hot meal. Maybe if I get one, I'll try braising some meat or something. My own version of zhajiangmian or something similar that I can put on not hot noodles.

I've seen a few items that work like that (either plugged into the car or at your desk). But I would like to try to cook something in one. Ah well, too many toys, not enough time. I'll have to research it to see what would be good to mess with.

Laksa soup with pork chop from a local food court stall... never mind that in South East Asia the dish doesn't exist (at least never seen it in my travels), but the soup wasn't even a laksa base... it was missing the laksa flavour and the coconut milk... wasn't very happy. Will need to complain next time I'm in the area.

A friend uses a 2 quart one for cooking. I've always just used a larger one and had leftovers, then used the mini one (20 ounce) to reheat at work.

Having to deal with waiting for the biggest digital blackout Canada has had in a while, got bored... So dinner was pan fried basa fillets, bamboo shoots, some stir fried bush beans in a Thai chili sauce and brown rice... I have a few more fillets so will have to see what else I can do with them...

Gazpacho Soup (strangely served COLD - and I was way too intimidated to ask for it heated)
chips & salsa
spumoni & French vanilla with strawberries
Im feeling light headed so I might have some nuts
