Crushing on the slow cooker

So, as those who frequent my blog and my Facebook page are already aware, I've been growing pretty fond of my slow cooker. In the last two weeks, I've used it to make beef and broccoli, Philly cheesesteaks and pineapple chicken, all to rave reviews from my husband.

Fellow Yourhome blogger Vicky Sanderson has also admitted a "culinary crush" on the slow cooker, recently writing a round-up of a few different models and sharing recipes on her blog.

And, if last week's poll is in any way accurate, we're not the only ones having a bit of a love affair with the slow cooker.

Just over half — 51 per cent — said the slow cooker would be among their kitchen crushes for 2009, while just over a third said they weren't interested in the slow cooking trend.

The remaining 15 per cent said they didn't know (but I'm guessing some of them might be swayed before year's end!)

Vote in this week's poll, on whether Is a builder obligated to disclose to a purchaser that a suicide occurred in the house just before the sale closes (learn more in Bob Aaron's column), on the front page.
