This morning I assembled Charmion's bean recipe - i just now sampled the results and it's divine. I used bits of ham - lots of it. Cooking the beans in the crock pot/slow cooker is so easy - and when I came home tonight the smell was just mouth watering. I think I'll leave the beans on low until morning. My crock pot is over 30 years old and still works perfectly. It has an "automatic" setting where you can put it on high and it will automatically switch to low after four hours. I've never heard any bad news about slow cookers - they're almost foolproof. Very little mess, don't use much electricity, and it's almost impossible to burn or overcook anything especially if you set it on low.
