hi Charles.
Can you get combination crockpots in the US? I've jsut bought one
here. It's called a Sunbeam VersaCook, and it's a slow cooker, frypan
for browning, saucepan and deep fryer all in one unit. This way, I can
brown in the pan, then switch to slow cooker mode afterwards.
Cheers
Andrew

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!
