I love Gourmet - I've been getting it for a long time. My only complaint is that a lot of the recipes have stuff you can't find in the regular grocery store - at least in Pittsburgh where people's tastes are simple.
Out of all the cooking tools I have, I think I've used my crockpot the most. The most basic of recipes can be used (with minimal effort) to produce superb results.

And that's a major reason I don't subscribe to any cooking magazines - they will often have 1) an ingredient or ingredients that you've never seen before and that no other recipe uses, so no store in your area has ever carried it, or 2) are so labor intensive/technically difficult that a good recipe could be had more easily elsewhere.
