Crock Pot in the kitchen: A short history.

Site: http://hubpages.com/hub/Crockpots


Many people who are involved in the whole "web 2.0" phenomenon are at least vaguely familiar with HubPages.com . Basically, Hubpages is a host site for a diverse community of mini-sites that are available for free to anyone who wants one. It is very similar to Squidoo in that respect. Also like Squidoo, Hubpages encourages its members to host as many separate pages, or "hubs" as they are referred to on the site itself, as they like. In fact the site readily encourages its members to have more as opposed to fewer sites. When you remember that the host site takes a share of all adsense revenues earned on the sites mini-pages, the logic behind this becomes clearer. Anyway, it is not that uncommon to see members with well over a hundred hubs to their credit! (Remember, however that a hub can be little more than a prettied up article in many cases) My own personal preference for hubs - well at least for my own limited attention span - is to browse through those that are shorter in nature: I appreciate the effort that goes into a longer piece of work, however I find that if I like your shorter pieces of prose then I will be willing to graduate up to your longer masterpieces! A recent hub that I came across that was a very good example of this was one on a subject I had not even set out to find: the history of crock pots. Yes Crock pots, the slow cooker created by the Rival company way back in the early seventies. In fact it was almost a lucky accident that saw the Rival company chefs toying with the freshly acquired beanery appliance and finding that it cooked meat very well(see I learned that from a hub!) It was clear, concise and most importantly: a quick read while sitting in front of the computer. This hub about the history of the Rival Crock Pot, Crock Pot in the kitchen: A short history, can be found along with many others on HubPages. Give it a looksee and see if you find yourself wanting something longer...
