Slow Cooker

I got a slow cooker for Christmas (well really my mom got me a fryer, but I'm not really sure why.  Either way I didn't really want a device whose sole purpose was to make foods deliciously fat so I exchanged it for a slowcooker!) and I am currently cooking some rice.  I hope it goes well.  It takes a lot longer to cook it via this method as opposed to on the stove, so I'm not really sure why I'm doing it, but it should be interesting to see how it turns out!
