FP EDIT: ope, was not expecting this throwaway post to get any votes. I just wanted the Imgur 13 trophy.
Didn’t get the trophy, but the laughs I’m getting from reading the comments is well worth it.
Uff-da from Minnesota!

Ope.. let me add Michigan too. Also, I have the 3 burner. (Suck it aunt Helen!)
unnecessaryredarrows
Fake news. I don’t see a single piece of masking tape with their last name on it.
SensitiveShiori
i also dont see the pots bumping into each other and going "oop" or "sorry" "didnt see you there" "my bad" "no you go first" "no you"
nero4ty2
that goes on the cord

Fair.

You bring that three in one someone saying "oh look at that don't you know" which is the highest praise you can get

My family has that triple crock in the front right there. Talk of the town at parties let me tell ya.
hwatL4bloopy
Nachos cheese, chili, and what goes in the third one?
Teasaurus
I didn't mean for that to sound so... Midwestern... I live in New York... It's infectious...

Pennsylvania here, same thing. I mean, cmon, it's 3 separate crocks in one! The dipping possibilities are endless!!!

It makes hosting a crowd on Thanksgiving easier. I sure hope we can have a crowd again someday.

Crockpots & Hotdish!
Lewynsa
My Mom always said not to trust anyone with more then three crockpots. Apparently four is the needed to dispose of a body.
TinyOctopus
Tiny octopus thinks it doesn't matter what the crockpot is, but you better bring your A-game hotdish to this hootenanny, doncha'no.
stonetemplefox05
Anyone else remember that gold rush of crock pots when this is us was in full swing?
szepasszony
Smorgasbord time!
dardar2002
Man...I only have 2 crock pots. I had 3 but I gave one to my crock potless friend.
GondwanaCraton
It's nice to share your pot.
silentwolf1999
I need an 80s crockpot. The new modern one cook too hot even on the "warm" setting.
Shellzie2010
I have my parents' from when they were first married. It's great. Harder to clean than the new ones though
FlametongueKavu
Oh man the 3-pot crock is out. Honey go into the trunk and get my blazer. This is more formal than I thought.
nero4ty2
where is the rest of their collection?

Plot twist: all filled with tater tot hot dish
bigh0rse
At least one will be green been hot dish
Pheynx
I'd be down for everything but the Lutefisk.
StewedTomaters
I honestly think the percentage of Minnesotans who've even tried lutefisk is somewhere around 1-5%. I sure haven't. We have refrigeration.
Shellzie2010
My dad was forced to eat it every xmas bc his Norwegian mother loved it. We never had it growing up. But it's not bad with enough butter.
StewedTomaters
Here's the thing, though: we have GOOD food. Food that's better than "not bad with enough butter."
Shellzie2010
True. I did only eat it once, for the cultural experience. My grandma loved it, so I figured it was worth a try.
StewedTomaters
We had Norwegians over for dinner once (who lived in Norway) and they were confused about why people still ate it here. "We have

thetwistedstars
I have a triple one and it's FABULOUS for get togethers.
ChurlishSunshine
Not gonna lie, that was this Minnesotan's reaction. I want one.
TakeYouAway
Not big enough. Only good for a warm dip spread
raydnjames
That's exactly what it's for though. If you own the 3 pot, you also own at least one full size
Gremlynn4023
It's ok. All small containers and no seals, so I really only use it to keep sides warm.
CyanideBreathMint
They’re great for feeding a marching band!
fstngutz
Call ours the “triple pimpin” usually make queso in one, lil Smokey’s in one, and sausage dip in the other. Great for “game day”

"Yo Dawg" intensify!
GoooForPapaPalpatine
Apparently my mom is actuallay a Minnesotan. When we helped clean out closets we found soooo many crock pots
ReusableBastard
Ya, U Betcha.
Snooj
I have three crockpots. I have no idea why I have three crockpots, but what I don't have is the triple crockpot.
Ratchr
I have 3 crockpots and also the triple crockpot. Seldom used I might add. The individual baskets are small
LiillooDallasMultipass
A triple slowcooker?
johnlong03
I have that one. Works well for dips and keeping things warm. Use it mainly for holidays and graduations
Raventhief
Uff da, that's a good lookin' set a crock pots you got there!
arrbos
and one sneaky instant pot in the back there
Shellzie2010
Instant pots do have a slow cooker setting, so I think we can allow it

I bet it takes three days to leave this house.

This Is Us fans are triggered.
thornofnight
uh oh... I speak in a neutral MO accent, no drawl, sound like a dictionary. I read this in Minnesotan in my head.
zethma
I can hear the accent.....
gitguuud
This is how my extended family greets the host at each gathering. My dad is plotting what crock pot to get next to one up one of his sisters
gitguuud
Also, I’ve had to tell my parents a couple times to not get me another crock pot. It’s engrained in them to have and give dozens of them.
SirGalahadKnight
Sadly not a note of spice has ever graced them once either
SnoopyDancing
just cream of mushroom soup
happyberyl
I'm in MN and just made meatballs with cream of mushroom soup lol - I feel attacked

LadyNetrex
Uff da? Are there Norwegians in the area? That's Norwegian.
Raventhief
Yep, lots. Something like 18% of MN is descended from Norway, with another 20% from the rest of Scandinavia.
LadyNetrex
That explains it :)
YetiSpagettee
In northern Minnesota we are very heavily Norwegian. Lots of German and Swedish mixed in too
LadyNetrex
Oh, very cool.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Minnesota is half Scandinavian and half Canadian.
LadyNetrex
I guess all of US is like this being a melting pot.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Yep. My area has heavy influence from a lot of both Western and Eastern European countries, plus Mexico
gingen
Ohh yah, sure! Gonna make some great hot dish, dontcha know!
Codybill
You bet.

Hippb
Oh interesting- I know my grandma was very proud of her swedish heritage and she told us it could mean all sorts of things as long as...
Hippb
They had a negative connotation. It was like the word was her favorite spice you could put on everything
Hippb
She didn't grow up in Minnesota but in another swedish community in the Midwest
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
16,5% of Minnesota population is of Norwegian descent.
Raventhief
Yep, lots of Norwegian descended folks in MN. Uff da has become a general expression of remark like "wow" or "oof".
darthinebriated
From what I understand there are a lot of Nordic people in MN. It like they gravitated to a frozen hell that reminded them of home.
Krembananen
Can someone please confirm for me if people are using Uffda as an expression? My people need to know!
HappinessIsaColdPint
Yup. Uffda, Oof, Oofta.
eathotdog
In MN it's used as an expression for whatever you want, like ufda ain't she pretty, or uffda this box sure is heavy
Krembananen
This is great, thanks! Not exactly the same use here, but close enough!
AngerMike
I grew up with a kid from Minnesota and his family said that shit all the time for every fucking thing
EricSSmith
100% my Minnesotan mom says it. I catch myself saying it sometimes.
happyberyl
Family's from MN, can confirm! My mom also uses 'dritt' in her regular curse word rotation x)
