Bean Pot

A slow-cooker makes the perfect bean pot. It cooks them perfectly through and you don't have to keep an eye on them. Toss them in with enough water in the morning, set them on high, and your beans are ready by dinner.

I have this StayorGo Hamilton Beach slow cooker. It's large enough to hold 2lbs of beans and plenty of water. I like the clips on the side that make it easier to take to a pot luck.

I haven't used it to cook a pot roast in a very long time. Really, aside from cooking my beans, I don't use it for much else. I do want a small one to make yogurt in. Maybe I'll make that a goal for the New Year.
