[quote=Anonymous]I use it a fair amount for the nights we are running around and eating in shifts.  (We have 3 elementary-age kids who all do sports/activities, and we have a baby.  We try pretty hard to have family meals, but some nights it is just impossible to all sit down together.)

So it's great for those "eat whenever you can" kind of meals.  Last night I made a big pot of chili in it, made rice on the side, and one kid ate at 6, another kid & DH ate at 7:30, I didn't get to eat until 8:30, etc but everyone had a hot meal.

Last week I made chicken taco filling in it - same thing, I put tortillas out and had some cheese in the fridge and let people eat when they were home.  The week before that I think I made ropa vieja.  I make pulled BBQ chicken for sandwiches all the time.

13.49, what has burned in your crockpot?  Nothing ever burns in mine.  As long as there's enough liquid, you should be fine.  The whole point is to be able to use it when you're out for the day.  And if you have a programmable one, you can set it to cook for 8 hrs and then switch to "keep warm" if you don't want it to continue cooking.
