The Crock Pot
Hey we got something new yesterday. We went shopping in Bangor and stopped by the Goodwill store.
Did I say new? It's not exactly new. It's a Crock Pot, an original Rival. Hard to tell how old it is but I'm thinking by the scratches in the paint on the back side this thing has spent decades pushed back against the wall on someone's grandmother's counter. So gramma passed it on and granddaughter sold it at the yard sale and whoever bought it had it for a dozen years and never used it and finally gave it to Goodwill. It doesn't seem to have much use on it. The plastic cover is still transparent, as opposed to the translucent cover on the other one that was there.
I washed it and am cooking a beef roast with carrots and an onion and chopped celery and tons of spices for the trial run.
First thing I noticed when I got it turned on was that there was no indicator to show that it's on, not even a little red light, and certainly no digital control panel. There is one rotary switch where the pointer can point to Off, Low, or High. That's it, simple as that. I do love simple. It's like OK what is there about a 1991 Mazda Miata that appeals to me the most. It's that the car is simple.
As opposed to this YouTube video which is anything but simple...
