Bright Green Door Blog suggests painting your Crock Pot with chalkboard paint so you can write on it whenever you cook. This would be particularly helpful for potlucks so everyone immediately knows what you have in the pot. Of course, if you want your Crock Pot to match your kitchen, you could always paint it any color you want. Just make sure to get a heat-safe paint and to tape off the metal rim and the bottom, and to remove the handles and dial before you start painting.
