although I will sometimes make oatmeal overnight in my small crockpot. I'm not really a morning person, so I like having it already cooked up. If I add cinnamon to the pot it simmers slowly all night and smells good...and if I add cut up apples, it's heavenly... :)
But anyway, I did have a large crockpot I never used and ended up giving away. I'm home all day too, and don't need to have something cooking all day. With a pressure cooker, I can do a spur of the moment thing in less than 30 minutes, most of the time, depending on what it is.
It took me a long time to trust pressure cookers after being frightened by the one my mother used to have when I was a kid. But they're much safer now than they used to be.
I also use my rice cooker and wok quite often, and one of my favorite things to cook is a stir fry or lo mein meal using pork or chicken, frozen vegies, and something called Mr Yoshido's sauce. I make it all up and put it over rice or use those ramen noodles and make a lo mein from it.
oops...upon reading the rest of the replies, finds out there are way more than two people in the world who hate crockpot food
