[CnD] under a misconception

[Charles Rivard]

I've always heard how easy and convenient a crock pot is.  I figured that it 
would be just the thing for a beginning cook because you have to do so 
little to get great meals.  However, there are a lot of recipes for the 
crock pot that I don't want to try because you have to brown the meat, boil 
this or that, and then, basically use the crock pot to finish the process. 
This is disappointing to me, because I figured, under an apparent 
misconception, that you would put everything into the crock pot and let it, 
not the cook, do the work.  I don't want to have to cook the food before it 
goes into a crock pot to complete the process I was hoping that it would 
perform from start to finish.  Some meals are the type I am looking for, but 
a lot of them aren't.  One exception to that is the chili recipe I make, 
which I have previously posted.  I use Venison, and I do grill it before it 
gets thrown into the pot to cook for 8 hours on the low setting.  It makes 
the house smell really good all day, too, which is another thing that I do 
like about the crock pot.  You've been smelling something all day, and can't 
wait to eat it!
