Can you get combination crockpots in the US? I've jsut bought one here. It's called a Sunbeam VersaCook, and it's a slow cooker, frypan for browning, saucepan and deep fryer all in one unit. This way, I can brown in the pan, then switch to slow cooker mode afterwards. Cheers Andrew Charles Rivard wrote: > I've always heard how easy and convenient a crock pot is.
