It's nice to cook when I can, but by this time of day I just want to get home and eat and relax. My biggest setback with using a crock pot is that I haven't found anything that can stand up to cooking for 8 or 9 hours without it tasting overdone in some ways. Do you have any recipes you'd like to share that you can cook for half a day and still come home to it and eat well? The only things I can think of that can cook all day are spaghetti sauce and chili.

I wouldn't do chicken, or pork tenderloin, they cook a lot faster. You probably want a big slab of meat. Use whatever herbs, sauce, cola, beer, etc. that you usually use or have on hand, maybe along with some onions, carrots, potatoes, celery, bay leaf, etc. ' + '?' + google_ads[i].line2 + '?' + google_ads[i].line3 + '?' + '' + google_ads[i].visible_url + ' '; } } '' } if (google_ads[0].bidtype == "CPC") { /* insert this snippet for each ad call */ google_adnum = google_adnum + google_ads.length; } document.write(s); return; } google_ad_client = 'ca-pub-7757781251671730'; google_ad_channel = '3915199705'; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_max_num_ads = '6'; google_ad_type = 'text'; google_feedback = 'on'; google_skip = google_adnum; /* to skip for multiple units, insert this snippet for each ad call */ // --> __________________ She who dies with the most toys, wins.

It will stay hot for a while after it shuts off. You can turn it back on when you get home if it needs to be hotter. I do this with chicken or things that can't take 8 hours of cooking.

If I had it my way, they'd have a little bite to them, and I think this is just enough to push me over the edge to try to find some better suited recipes. __________________

Then I would cook the vegs separately, (bake, roast, nuke or boil) stash them in the fridge or freezer, then add them when you get home. Bakechef's idea with the timer is a good one. __________________ She who dies with the most toys, wins.
