they all basically do the same thing in the end, right?

Yes. You can also get the same effect with a covered dutch oven in a low oven for 6-8 hours.

Iatee, I got a big cheap one from target that has been working fine for a couple of years, I think it was around $30.
Just make sure it has a tight-fitting lid, and a good timer is useful. Mine only has ”low” (6-8 hours) and ”high” (2-4 hours), and it doesn't switch off, it switches to warm.

pulled out my slow cooker to make dinner tonight. It's a cheap Proctor Silex model. One of the handles broke off a little while ago - it still works but I should replace it at some point.
Googled to find out what the low temp specificaiton is for the model - found out this model has been recalled.
Why?
The handles break. LOL

omg!
So Mr Veg followed up on the recall and called Proctor Silex -- they're totally sending us a new crockpot! We just had to send them a photo of the old one with the power cord cut off. The recall was posted in 2003 so we kinda figured it was done.
So exciting!
