The newer models cook at a higher temperature (even though many still just say "high" and "low".)<BR/><BR/>Here's an article about it:<BR/>http://ezinearticles.com/?id=553889<BR/><BR/>I bought a new Crockpot (Yes, new! One of those very few expenses I felt justified.) a little over a year ago after hearing about the safety concerns, and I've found the food cooks in as little as half the time my old recipes call for!<BR/><BR/>Anna: Welcome!

I am going to try the idea of chopping my onions all at once and putting them in the freezer.<BR/><BR/>Do you find that chicken, even when covered with water, dries out in the crockpot? I never have good luck with my crockpot but I really want to be able to use this appliance more.<BR/><BR/>Keep the great posts coming.<BR/><BR/>ChristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
