Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Katie, Glad you joined us over here. Canning soup is a good idea and things with potatoes in it, doesn't end up tasting funny. Good use for thee 6 qt. crockpot. I've only got a 4 qt and have had it for at least 20 years. I was looking at crockpots at Walmart yesterday, and noticed that many of them have locking things on the lids to help prevent spills. Also noticed that they had bags that fit around most crock pots and zip up. They looked like those nylon collapsible coolers. What a great idea. I still have the box mine came in and I set mine in that when I am traveling somewhere with it full. It helps to give it stability.

In reading through the last couple messages, I am beginning to feel crockpot deprived. I only have two. One is a 6 quart that I have had for 25 years that I got when my kids were little and at home. Now that they are grown and it is just gramdpa and me, I mostly use a 4 quart Rival. I still use the big one to make soups though, because most soups freeze and thaw nicely. If I want to can the soup to make quick lunches, I want to make lost. Have any of you canned your own soups. It is easy to d, in ball jars, and they store in the pantry until you want soup for lunch. You can take a jar to work, remove the lid and heat in the microwave. Since mu husband always manages to ruin the lids and loose the rings, I take his off before he takes them and replace it with a plastic lid that doesn't keep it sealed, but keeps it from spilling till lunch time.
