Probably, but I don't know because I wasn't in the market for such an
animal. It sounds like a good idea, though.

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!
