I got my first slow cooker as a wedding gift and we used it sometimes, but since I was the major cook of our household–I should have known I would run a restaurant one day- it wasn’t all that often. 

Looking back, it was probably because I had seen a slow cooker used when I was growing up, mostly for roasts and meatloaf, two meals I am not that wild about.
