    The crock pots work very well. However, the used ones can sometimes
    contain a surprise.  A few years ago, I needed a large pickle pot for
    some bracelets I was working on. There was a Good Will store across
    the street so I went over and found a large pot.  I bring it back to
    the stone and fill it with my Sparex and water and turn it on. 
    Within a few minutes, the smell of beans cooking was wafting through
    the store.  I at first thought it was from the bakery next door as I
    quite often got the smells of what they were baking.  Not so.  The
    pot had apparently been used a lot to cook beans and the odder was
    impregnated in the ceramic.  It didn't dissipate and after the
    project was finished, I retired the pot to the dumpster after
    smashing it with a hammer so some dumpster diver wouldn't try to use
    it for beans again.
