Raven, I think someone once confessed to cooking a steak in one, and all heck broke loose. I've heard references about this but didn't read the thread.

I make baked beans in mine and they surely turn out well.

Oh no. Let's not open that can of soup.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Never ever cook filet in one. And never ever use mushroom soup with said filets while wearing knee high and flip flops.

Re: Can someone tell me...........

Uh, oh.........was it me? Although I didn't read the commotion posts afterward..........I often throw in top shoulder blade steaks (second only to filet minon).......and they turn out so very tender and delicious. Also New York steaks. I love cooking steaks in a slow cooker, as I don't want to take a chance frying them because sometimes some cuts aren't tender enough for me. ............'Heavens to Betsy', (Whatever that means), I'm always in trouble, it seems..........

Also, many recipes call for cream of chicken, mushroom, etc., soup, and that is a no no.

I really don't know if it was you Yellow Rose (as I still think of you), but it was about four years ago, maybe? And I missed it, but there was an "aftermath" thread.

Re: Can someone tell me...........

Some people made fun of those who said they used a crock pot. As if they were lazy or didn't know how to cook.
