Plus, the notion that I can cook overnight and wake to wonderful-smelling beans in the morning is something I've grown accustomed to. I think I paid $15 or $20 for my last one. I've given enough of them to Goodwill; one ought to be able to find a used one there for even less.<br /><br />A Crockpot is really good for soups and sauces, too. It's just a slow-motion way of cooking that gently heats instead of turbulent boiling, to the same result. It's also one less ball to juggle during the meal preparation time. The downside is that it requires you to think ahead, often as much as a day, to plan your meal.Jack a.k.a Diegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119541722259197369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2014313424177984027.post-42688881736753474832010-06-10T12:59:24.012-07:002010-06-10T12:59:24.012-07:00That really does look delicious and so simple!

No crockpot here.....guess it would have to just go into a regular big soup pot and cook until the beans are done, huh?Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912320960118608950noreply@blogger.com
