I’m
not sure why I’ve always had such a bad attitude towards slow cookers.
It does a great job turning out delicious braised dishes like this
“7-bone” beef pot roast, it’s efficient, and could not be easier to use.
So, then why have I used my crock pot fewer times over the last decade
than ice skates? By the way, I don’t ice skate.
It
probably has something to do with going to culinary school, and judging
everything from the point of view of the professional kitchen. They’re
certainly not something you learn about at a cooking academy, or see in
the back of a restaurant, and are generally associated with the dreaded,
“housewife cooking.” This is the same reason we can’t serve jell-o
molds.
