do this- on days you're using it, go pick up fringey. have her taste the dish every 15 minutes after it's cooked for a few hours. if she senses it's done, she unplugs until you get home. win-win?

The pork we made was overcooked and I first checked it about an hour before the minimum cooking time. The meatloaf was 180 degrees all the way through by the time I checked it about 90 minutes before the minimum cooking time, but still tasted great and was super tender. Both recipes were for 5-6 qt pots. I don't mind experimenting, but I'm really not a fan of overcooked meat. Answers. I just want answers. If the answer is that I need to continually test the meat basically at all times after starting the slow cooker, well that seems to do away with all the convenience factor of using one.
