Our old crock pot was so old I worried about electric fires. I have never been a real crockpotter so I guess I really don’t need one. But they are cool! Torn between a crock pot, feelin’ like a fool, desiring a crock pot is breaking all the rules...........(sung to the tune of “Torn between two lovers”)
I think the key is really cutting back the liquid in any recipe.
Most things we’ve made have been very bland. I think it’s an art, and you have to work it out with all the new generations of crockpots. They seem to cook a lot hotter now, even when they’re supposed to be ‘slow’.
