CROCKPOT TIDBITS

If your crock pot recipe calls for meat, browning first will help reduce the fat content and enhance the flavor and texture of slowcooked recipes. However, you really don't need to brown your meat before adding to the crock pot. Also, because of the condensation in a slow cooker, reduce the liquid if you are making a sauce or gravy from it.

You mean, I have been doing that all this time and didn't have to? That is what you get when you read all that stuff that comes with it. The day is not wasted! I learned something new today. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You can do any crockpot recipe in a heavy Dutch oven, just put the ingredients together, cover it and put it in a very low oven, about 175*F. It will cook perfectly. Just check it from time to time.
