Dawn,
I use my crockpot several times each week. In fact, I have a whole family of them. The big Oval one, a regular sized oval one... and two small ones for dips and sauces.
I have been a crockpot cook for years and have never had any issues where one overheated or caused a fire hazard.
I did try a new recipe a while back.... where I felt I had to stay home.... because the recipe called for NO WATER.
ROTISERIE CHICKEN IN THE CROCK POT:
Roll up aluminum foil into several loose balls
place on bottom of crock pot.
set whole chicken on top of aluminum foil balls
season to your taste ( I used creole seasonings for frying a turkey)
cook on high for 6 hours.

This is YUMMY. someone commented that they wrap foil around potatoes and put the chicken on top... that way it cooks the chicken AND you have baked potatoes too.
I worried about not having any water in there.... so I made it one day when we planned to stay home, but it worked fine and was very good.
Yesterday I did the same thing, but I laid NY STRIP STEAKS on the aluminum foil balls and cooked them for 4 hours while I was at work. I put them on at lunch and they were done when I got home.
I love my crock pots !!

1 can condensed mushroom soup (do not add water)
1 can cola
1 beef roast

i'm making this right now. Can i add other vegetables to the crock pot with the meat? i'm throwing in potatoes, onion, carrots, turnips, rutabagas. So i'm thinking put the meat on the bottom and the vegetables on top?

FYI. The salmon in the crockpot was great!

There's nothing better than coming home after an hour commute on a cold night, walking in the door and smelling dinner is all ready!

I have two Sandra Lee Slow Cooker cookbooks. One of my favorite recipes is "Moroccan Chicken with Couscous".
The couscous is cooked on the stove (in about 5 minutes) with the delicious broth made by the chicken, veggies and spices.

I've left my crockpot on unattended for 10+ hours.
The trickiest thing for me is making sure the food doesn't turn to mush.
Crockpots are also very handy for parties. I cook and serve sweet and sour meatballs appetizers right in the cooker.

I need to leave for work NOW and I have nothing thawed to put in the pot.

I always put frozen meat or chicken in the crock. My cookbook says it slows the cooking down of the chicken so its tender but not overcooked.

it's the large box underneath the bruners on the stove that you use for making shrinky dinks and drying out strawberry leather and soaked logbooks. caution: do not put lock and locks in there while you are drying the logbooks...the smell of melting plastic has been found to be toxic to pregnant women, small children, and animals.

I've had no problems cooking frozen meat.
Just give it enough time and liquid to cook thoroughly.
