I still have my old crock pot from the mid 1970's.
I broke the glass lid and can not find another one to fit it.
I remember that the first ones were not removable.
They were a pain to clean.
Then shortly later the removable ones came around.

I've got two of the original Rival Crock Pots, both of which still work,
though I only use them with liners these days because otherwise they're a
nightmare to clean. I've got two others, my 5 quart removable crock Rival
the one I use the most. I slipped up and melted the cord on it, so I had to
replace it., but it still works great after that repair.

Wow, I like this recipe. I've had one of my slow cookers since the 70's too,
my firiends gave it to ome at my first baby shower. It's a smaller one so I
only used it for me and my husband. I use the bigger one when the fam comes.
They eat a lot! (smile)

One recipe for round steak in the slow cooker that was on this list and I
consider tried and true had three ingredients. Round steaks, onions peeled
and halved, and left over brewed coffee for the liquid. Makes a real tastey
gravy and tenderizes the meat with the acid in the coffee.
The crockpot and that's what those were called originally was invented by
Rival just in time for World War II., and women doing work in Defense Plants
bought them and used them regularly to feed themselves and their families
when they got home from work.
In my past I did lots of cooking with crockpots. The all metal slow cookers
I have less confidence using. I had an Aroma and it died after three uses
so wasn't well built.
