OK that’s good to know I think that is definitely more for like cooking stews and soups and things like that and more of the things that I like to cook our steaks and pork chops and ribs and chicken and things like that the crock pot chicken is pretty good but I’ve had pork chops in the crockpot and I’ve discovered that they’re really not that good Sam thinking of more tips that will help with the toaster oven or A regular convection type oven And don’t get me wrong I’m not turning down your guises tips at all and in fact I appreciate them very much and I might do the crockpot for some things I’m not saying that I won’t necessarily I guess just the whole idea of slow cooking things kind of worries me a little bit just because I would worry about it catching on fire or something while I was gone even though I know that that doesn’t usually happen to anybody that’s just something that I worry about
