I need a bigger crock pot! The past two weeks everytime I put something in it I have to stay home. because the meat is too big to fix in the pot. So I have to have way cover the meat, then have to come back and turn the meat over placing the other end into the seasoned water using tong and a large cooking fork. In a few hours I went back to check the pork roast and I picked up the tong that are silver metal with red rubber tips.off the spoon rest to see that one of the red rubber tips had fallen off!. Where could it have gone? I quickly looked the best I could around the large pork roast that was in my crock pot. Could not see it! So I looked in the sink, on the counter, in the dishwasher and in the jar that I keep them in. DID NOT FIND IT! I resorted to looking under the crock pot! Still Nothing! So I got a plate out went back to the crock pot and with the large cooking fork I took the pork and put it on a plate.Then I lifted up the crock pot cooking bag the best I could and saw the red rubber tip in the bottom. I sat the bag back into the pot, got a large straining spoon and fished it out!.

Glad you found the rubber tips and didn't end up eating it . As our kids are growing and eating more, I'm realizing we need a much bigger crock pot too!

There is just me and my daughter here, but the piece of meat was way to big. Same thing happened a few other times.

@much2say Oh man! I sometimes cook the meat and veggies together, but this time I didn't. But the meat alone was too big for the pot.

@dfollin I often do meat and veggies . . . so once when I got a piece of meat that was way too big, I just took some of the veggies out to make the meat fit! But then I had to cook the veggies over the stove.

We have a five quart one I think, but I'm gonna get a instant pot which does crock pot as well as so many other things and is bigger.
