Thanks for the great beginner tips!
So... technically, I'm actually cooking less per week crock potting than trying to cook every night eh? Seems that way to me, and it certainly appeals to the lazy in me.
So, if I were to cook something, do I keep it only on low? When do you ever use medium or high? What happens if I cook longer than 8-10 hours? Would the food get nasty? 8-10 hours is the ideal time frame right? Or should it be longer?
Can you stick something inside the crockpot? Like a smaller metal pot? Mine is kind of big. I think I overdid it, but the tiny crockpots they have in the store looked really cheap. I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about here. Besides, it wasn't terribly expensive to me to get a bigger one, and I wanted to be able to "cook" for my kids when they come over to visit. Most of the time though, it's just for myself, and is there a way to just cook one person portion instead by using a smaller metal pot or something like that inside?
I'll stop rambling now.
