Slow Cookin'

If any of you are on facebook you might have heard about a page that has gone viral regarding crock pot cooking.  Sparked an idea...can we find a crock pot made in the USA?  We have searched and searched and searched. We called many of the well-known brands and found out that while some of them years ago were made in America they are now made in China.  Then we called many lesser-known brands and most of them were made in China too! Seemed most electric cookware is made in China these days.  Hmmmmm...

And then we came across another issue while we were searching to find a crock pot made in America.  LEAD!!!  Many current ceramic glazed crock pots still contain lead.  While those levels may be within the FDA regulations, lead can still be present.  So when you cook with these items you are releasing small traces of lead into your meal...yuck! Many of the old ones definitely have lead and may not be in the current FDA regulations.  If you already have a crock pot, we would suggest you call the manufacturing company and ask if your model contains lead.  

Now, here is the great news!!!  We found a crock pot that is not only MADE IN THE USA but also LEAD-FREE!!!  The company is called 360 Cookware and they manufacture all of their products in West Bend, WI.  They take pride in not only manufacturing all of their products in America but also they hold themselves to the highest of safety standards.
