There are as many recipes that you don't have to cook anything first as
there are ones that you do. I rarely prepare any recipes for the crockpot
that require cooking something first. No need to let those that require
prior preparation deter you from using the crockpot. It just takes searching
for the type recipes that you want that do not take cooking an ingredient
before throwing everything into the pot.

Subject: [CnD] under a misconception
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!
