10 Non-Food Uses For Your Crockpot You Didn't Know About

Are broken, crumbly little nubs of crayons collecting in your junk drawer? Don't toss them in the trash... toss them in your slow cooker, just like Stephanie did for her blog, A Year of Slow Cooking. A disposable 6-cup muffin tin will help you out with this task. Remove the paper wrapping from each crayon (a soak in warm water will help you with stubborn paper) and place the broken pieces of separate colors in each cup. Place the muffin tin inside your lined crockpot, then cover and set on high for one to two hours. Once the crayon wax is melted, remove the tin carefully from the crockpot, and place in your refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Your brand new crayons are now ready to pop out and use!
