Re: Ignorant: how are crockpots safe?
don't know that i'd stick another pot inside, but a more experienced crockpotter might be able to confirm or deny...
i know i've cooked a whole chicken in my old slow cooker and it was yum-mie. season skin-on chicken, pour in enough chicken stock to cover the bottom of the crock pot an inch or two, place chicken in crock pot breast up.
the low for 8 hours or med/high for 4 hours is more the difference of "are you setting this up before heading out to work?" and "it's an afternoon on the weekend and you want this ready for dinner". at least, that's been my experience.
my last crockpot suggestion: baked beans. woohoo!
