OK - I gotta do this but I need a crock pot, any suggestions?

A good ole' Rival Crock from Target for $20 will do you....

Mine is a Rival. The ingredients fill it exactly to the top.

Since I have leftover onion, parsley, carrots etc., I'm gonna get another couple of ham hocks and another bag of peas and make some more!.

i just looked and saw it makes 8 servings. sounds like a perfect thing to make in late september before i deliver so i don't have to worry about cooking for a bit while i recover. i'll give it a test run some time before now and then though. it does sound delish.

I have a 4 but I would go bigger if I had to choose again.

Checking out the recipe, it sounds great, and then I step outside and it is 90 plus degrees, and I think, soup? A good French Onion is damn tasty, but then again... 90 degrees? soup?.... and I'm thinking maybe I'll just file the recipe away until February.

Go big or go home!

I think the one I have is a 6 1/2 quart oval with a lid strap and thermal carrying case. It's nice for cooking something up at home and then transporting it to work or a house party for consumption.

Thats a nice rig. What did you pay for it? A crock you can stuff a whole bird in has got to be big.
