Why don't you just use the recipes that you don't have to cook for? Most of
the time browning the meet first helps to remove Greece that the crock pot
cant.

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!
