NO! NOT THE LANDY! Our 30 + year old crock pot finally expired. I am starting to miss the slow cooked beef or chicken etc with loads of veges and yummy gravy in the bottom. Oh well. I suppose I had better go and buy a new one. :D:D Jim

Go to your local 2nd hand place as they usually have a couple of the old breville/ kambrook cookers there.

we updated ours with a larger oval shaped one (kambrook?) and have been wrapped with it, makes so much more. And wasn't overly expensive.

I haven't tried the cast iron pot one but if they are good it would justify the extra expense.

Nothing better than getting home to a nice cooked meal, meat falling off bones and the house smelling great!

Ours was a Wedding present, 38 years ago, died last month, now we have a bigger one, with a ceramic insert, that you can take out & place on the table, as a serving dish. It even has a keep warm function! How long has this been going on. [ A certain large store, not involved with the wool industry, has packets of jippers that really make the slow cooked meal tasty. Then again, you can buy Williams-Sonoma "essentials of slow cooking" , the slow cooking bible. Recommend it. Think it is published by Oxmoor House.

I wonder if the new ones will last 30 odd years???
I hope I find out!

We've got the same one, Digger. It's a very good size, and can fit half a cow in there. Well worth the $39 or so.

We have that one as well, big enough for 2 whole chooks or a large pumpkin soup, leg of lamb etc.
