Our parents had them. Our grandparents had them. Should we get one? If you are thinking about whether or not to buy a crockpot, the answer is yes you should. Will it make you feel like an actual adult? Yes. But nevertheless, I think if you are thinking about buying one, you should, and here are seven reasons why you should.

It saves you time.

When you have a crockpot, it lessens how much time you have to cook. If you're going to be gone for long periods of time, you can put whatever you're going to make for dinner in the crockpot on low before you leave, and it'll be done by the time you get home.

They have easy and cheap recipes.

If you never know what to cook, crockpots have easy and cheap recipes you can find and cook. When you have a budget, this helps tremendously.

Clean up is a lot easier.

Before having a crockpot, you'd have so many pots and pans to clean plus silverware and dishes to clean. When you cook with a crockpot, all you have to clean up is the removable crock that you place the food in.

You can make anything in them.

You can make casseroles, meatloaf, chocolate cake, chili, soup, anything in them basically.

Leftovers.

When you make food in a crockpot, you have so much food leftover you can eat them for dayssss.

They have a 2qt crockpot.

Instead of buying the huge 4qt or 6qt crockpot that feeds a whole family, you can buy a small 2qt one for just yourself or two people.

They're perfect for parties.

You can make appetizers, drinks, and entrees in them. Making it the perfect thing for parties.

So if you are still considering buying a crockpot, just do it. You will thank me later. And it is so worth it.
