6. Comfort Food? Your old friend…The Crock Pot!
   http://chef2chef.net/cgi-bin/menuc.cgi?search=Crockpot
-----------------------------------------


My wife and I wanted to buy our daughter and her fiancé a Crock-Pot for Christmas. My, haven't things changed! Are Crock-Pots making a comeback of some kind? I think so! I'm the kind of guy who has to have two of everything in my kitchen…Just in Case! Drives my wife Crazy! But our old tan one-piece crock-pot sits in my cupboard without a companion. That may change.

Seems like nowadays all the crock-pots have those removable inserts. Some even have a "Keep Warm" setting in addition to the high/low settings. Wow! And they make them bigger too. We saw one that I swear I could get a small turkey into. It's no secret that "Comfort Food" is the hot ticket of the times. And to me, my crock-pot says…Comfort Food. We've got around 300 crock-pot recipes to stimulate your appetite and just maybe get you to dust off your old friend. You'll find them here: http://chef2chef.net/cgi-bin/menuc.cgi?search=Crockpot
