I’ve been “burned” more than once by this crock of crap! My mom bought a crock pot for us for an anniversary present a few years ago and I swear the new ones DONT cook! They heat. That’s about it. I can put in potatoes on high for 6-7 hours and they’re still hard. Maybe I have a faulty one but today I’m THROUGH with it! Took my corned beef out and put it in a good ol Dutch oven to cook properly!!! I may hang onto the crock pot to try and render fat and make soap. It deserves a crappier fate tho. I’d like to take a crowbar to it. what brand Crock pot is a brand but lots of knock off slow cookers I just dug mine out this week have not used it since pre-covid we had a potluck at work it was interesting probably 10 slow cookers at work and most of them were nearly the same model virtually all crock pot brand mine has high low keep warm with a timer for how long you wat before it switches to keep warm it must be 15 + years old I wasn't asking it to do a ton just get it hot from refrigerator temp as I had made up 6 quarts earlier in the week it works I used it for a month of perpetual pot and would set it to cook for 4 hours every night .

I have nothing clever to put here.

I've bought several over the years and they all boil grease into oil no problem sounds like you got a bad one.

I have 3. Just bought one that has the lock down sealed lid. Got it for taking meals to potluck cookouts. You have to cook on low to match the regular ones. Never had an issue with not cooking. But new ones they changed the settings. All the way to right is warm now used to be high. Ask me how I know! Lol that sounds like I would have the paint marker out labeling it is short order

Sounds like you got a lemon so you think they are all bad. Not really good logic.
I have several of different sizes and they all work great. One is brand new. I agree I prob got a lemon. I never claimed to be logical; thus the crowbar. see there you are with that not logical , so much better pounding ,beating , destruction tools than bar intended for prying. if you don't have a pressure cooker they are very handy for fast cooking , I cook most of my pheasants in 19 minutes under pressure then pick the meat good for all sorts of stuff then , same with chicken thighs for making soups or other things you can dump bunch of thighs in and 19 minutes pressure pull let cool and pick . yes you probably got a lemon of a slow cooker potatoes in a pressure cooker only need 7-10 minutes under pressure unless they are huge most of the time it works fine to fire it up get up to pressure let it cook 5 minutes then shut off the stove and leave it 10 more minutes before opening the valve they keep cooking and stay under pressure for a while with no additional heat.
