    Back in the time when I was a meat eater I was a crockpotter pro. I filled zip lock bags with all the ingredients for at least ten different recipes and had them in the freezer. That way I was never out of food. Only thing I needed to do was to make sure I remember taking out the bag out of the freezer and let it thaw a bit before adding it to a crock pot, start it and let the pot do all the magic.
    The slow cooker was a life savior at that time.

    Now when I'm a vegan, I find it easier (easier than adding all the ingredients in a pot, starting it and letting a pot doing all the job haha) cooking without a slow cooker. I find cooking without meat much faster, and it takes less effort to prepare vegan food than it takes to wash a big pot that weights a lot. Well, that's probably the biggest reason why I'm not using a crock pot more often.
    Maybe I should start using it more often again. We´ll see.
