Usually some meat is more tender when cooked first. Like beef cubes of a
stew.

I feel the same way I really enjoy cooking with the crockpot what
determines whether you're supposed to brown the meat first or just throw it
in there and let it cook

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 go
od 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!
