Geez - I don't know wht to say except that maybe at the time your cooking skills needed honing maybe!????!!
Why don't you try one of the recipes for crockpots on this forum and see how it comes out. If it tastes terribly like plastic, then something's drastically wrong with that machine. Are you willing to give it a go???
I thought you were at work, so why aren't you working???
