I was raised on food often prepared in a crock pot. I loved my crock pot that I had in my first marriage. Then I got a little tied of cleaning that huge item and the space it took on my counter top, not to talk about what the steam from it has done to the wood stain on my cabinets. I prepared baby back ribs in my crock pot and couldnt eat them they were so dry such a surprise, also all the BBQ sauce that was cooked on the inside of that item. The crock pot has direct heat working at heating the food from the heat of the sides not allowing the heat to flow thru the foods. Look at the lids for crock pots only use is to hold some heat in but as we all know its losing steam because of the varnish on my cabinet is damaged. Now look at the beautiful bean pots kind of like potato chips, and whippets I couldnt stop at one. I made baby back ribs in my bean pot sad thing I had to use two bean pots. But OMG they were so juicy these stones allow the heat to flow throw the meat, then the lid holds moisture which places it back in the meats. I can fit two bean pots and maybe 3 in my oven at the same time. They keep the food warm. They can be used in the Microwave, But never use them on the stove top. the clean up is so easy I soak for a little bit run my brush over it pop in dishwasher. When you take it out of dishwasher shake lid to get extra water out of that wonderful canal.
