ktgrok Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 How on earth does that happen? I was making a dish for a friend that had a baby yesterday. I cooked it overnight on low. It had beans, vegetarian burger crumbles, tomatoes, etc. Some of the beans and burger burnt to the bottom and it tastes GROSS. Now I'm struggling to figure something else out, and wondering how on earth something burns in a crock pot on low? Particularly soup!

KS_ Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 The newer crockpots don't really have a low anymore. They boil on low or high. My mom and I were discussing how her old (like 30 year old) crock pot really had a low setting, but the new ones don't. I ended up getting this Nesco, which has real temperature settings, because of the lack of control in my crock pot: http://www.amazon.com/Nesco-4816-12G-6-Quart-Porcelain-Cookwell/dp/B003I4F6NG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321627774&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two bigger Nesco but now I totally want that one. It's the perfect size for decent sized family meals. Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsAlimar Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I have to be very careful when I use my crock-pot because it's so easy to overcook and burn things. There is no more all day long cooking, even on low. Recipes have to be adjusted for the time difference. They are definitely hotter than they used to be. I prefer my old one but it's not big enough for some of my recipes. My husband was telling me a couple of days ago (after I nearly ruined apple butter in my crock-pot by using it overnight) that Alton Brown says that there in no temperature difference between High and Low. The difference is in how fast they reach that temperature. I am going to have to seriously consider that Nesco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yep, the new ones seem to have a low boil and a high boil. There are a few with actual temperature controls.
