[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some reason onions, garlic and shallots develop that metallic taste in slow cookers. [b]I would either sauté them separately and add them near the end[/b], omit them or substitute leeks. I don't know if other foods do the same thing. I've heard some commercial broths have a metallic taste, and that would only intensify when concentrated.[/quote] Why bother using the slower cooker, then? [/quote] It's a cooking technique - low temps over a long period of time - not just a lazy mom gimmick. If you put crappy ingredients in there you will get a crappy meal. If you use it correctly you will end up with some delicious meals. [/quote] Agree. Anybody use their slow cooker instead of a pot on the stove (turned on high) b/c is safer and can be left alone? I make a lot of soups that way. Also almost any processed food will break down in a bad way in a crock pot.[/quote]
