[quote=Anonymous]I just got my first crockpot for Christmas. My mom had one growing up but I have never used one. My goal was to be able to put something together the night before, pop it in the crockpot on my way out the door in the morning, then have a basically ready dinner when I get home from work (have 1 kid with another on the way, plus DH is about to have major surgery). I started looking for the first time at recipes and it seems many of them only require 3-4 hours of cooking. Presumably this wouldn't work for my day to day needs, because it would be all dried out by the time I'm home. Is it really doable to use the crockpot as I was hoping--just stick to recipes that require 8 hours or so cooking time? Or presumably you can keep it at a temperature high enough to keep away bacteria but not so high as to overcook the food? I realize this is a dumb question, but would appreciate some advice before I actually start using the thing...[/quote]
