This is an amazing read because I absolutely hate slow cooker meals. I thought it was just me but all of my meals comes out tasteless and watery. Smh

I haven’t had any success with my slow cooker either. I love to cook and the whole experience of tasting, flavor and aroma development, etc. But if I’m in a hurry, I rather count on my pressure cooker any time!

In reply to Janet Martin. I agree! Examples, in terms of what?

In reply to Valerie CottageMakingMommy. Do you want to give some examples? I do use mine for stews using tough cuts of meat, and always for beans, but they overcook chicken and for most dishes, it's more efficient to just cook on the stovetop

All I do with my slow cooker/rice cooker is make beans, which mostly means bean soup because the water becomes the tasty broth. Just now I put soaked white beans in the cooker with 8 cups water, 1 cup sesame seeds (high in calcium), 1 chopped onion, a whole bunch of fresh frozen ginger & garlic, and tons of spices (onion powder, roasted garlic powder, tumeric, mustard, lemon peel, celery seed, cumin, tomato powder) set it for 6.5 hours, and I’ll have fabulous & healthy soup for me and the freezer tonight! Stir it every few hours to make sure the spices are dispersed and nothing else.

I have to agree. The only thing I use mine for is making stock. Veggie, chicken and bone broth. It is super convenient for that.

In reply to lisa. I swear it congealed into one big lump of flavorless meat! It goes back to your point about not deviating from the recipe -- I experimented a little and left it too long!
