Use Electric Cooker As "Crockpot"

Before you contemplate buying a crockpot, check out the smallest ring on your electric cooker. I found out that my past two cookers were usable this way by reading the information that came with the contraption. I didn't trust it to start with so I stayed in all day just to make sure.

Use the lowest setting and just let your pot and cooker get on with it. Saves on buying a crockpot as you probably have a large saucepan and saves on yet another thing to store. The joy of coming home to a soup or stew is beyond price!
