Those of you who have been following the blog for some time will know that I regularly--and pretty consistently--get my arse kicked by the crock pot. Rice either turns to mush or is still crispy 5 hours later, and I have produced enough shoe leather to make even the heart of Imelda Marcos go pitter-pat. HOWEVER, I might finally be able to do some roasts.
Tonight we had roast beef, and if I put the roast in the crockpot with no liquid and turn it on LOW--never high--we can still eat the results. This is significant progress. To be fair, the last time I tried cooking beans in the thing, the beans were still amazingly crunchy even after an overnight soak AND 8 hours cooking in the crock pot, so it isn't an outright victory, nor have I tried roasting poultry, but I can successfully cook a pork or beef roast in the darn thing now.
I'm VERY excited, and I think I'm ready to learn to use the pressure canner!
