I definitely bookmark the crock pot you listed. Ours (from Thomson) is getting to the end of its good life (we used it for years!) and we will need to replace it very soon. In parallel, we got a lot of advertisement for full cooking robots like Thermomix and we may consider going with one of those. They however look to be so over-priced... that I may just go with a more standard crock pot.

Anyways, enjoy your week-end!
