With your feel for this I am sure you will master the effect, but this is something to keep in mind should you travel to some competition when your fame spreads. You might need to adjust.Machinisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823033143224574421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398221400738351120.post-20671987555794167232009-01-09T04:57:00.000-08:002009-01-09T04:57:00.000-08:00I think you may be right.

The past two meals I've done on my 250F setting and they've worked well.Gfron1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09293609846439667977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398221400738351120.post-38872156398080979252009-01-09T01:07:00.000-08:002009-01-09T01:07:00.000-08:00I don't know your altitude there but higher altitu...I don't know your altitude there but higher altitude means lower pressure and that means water boils or vaporizes at a lower temperature. This might be why the pot runs dry before the food is cooked. (At low enough pressure water will boil at room temperature)Machinisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823033143224574421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398221400738351120.post-36273966881314094012009-01-08T06:42:00.000-08:002009-01-08T06:42:00.000-08:00Part of the issue is that everyone is speaking in ...Part of the issue is that everyone is speaking in "high" and "low" terms, but my pot actually shows degrees. So I've now been assuming that "low" means "simmer" or 250.Gfron1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09293609846439667977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398221400738351120.post-38705387901439475182009-01-08T05:22:00.000-08:002009-01-08T05:22:00.000-08:00Oh dear, burnt rice is not tasty.

Adding more liquid to the crock pot would probably just leave you with gummy rice.<BR/><BR/>Do check out "A Year of Crockpotting" blog. The author has 365 crock pot recipes(!?!) and is a very funny writer and perhaps you will have inspiration for your long work day meals.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211857370548116268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398221400738351120.post-59002741643342302702009-01-05T01:20:00.000-08:002009-01-05T01:20:00.000-08:00Haha, nope, I have the same kind of slow cooker.

It looks yummy in the photo anyway though! <BR/><BR/>I have a recipe somewhere I feed my husband for french onion lamb that can go in the slow cooker. He loves it and it's easy. I'll see if I can find it.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418079315150652057noreply@blogger.com
