I have no idea how long this has been on the market, but I first saw a commercial for it the other night.

I really don’t understand the thinking behind this product. If your day is so hectic that you cannot pull dinner together, why not just buy a fully cooked, frozen beef stew? Wouldn’t that be even more convenient?

Am I missing something?

here’s a little crockpot tip: Crockpots have ceramic liners that are removable. If you have to get out of the house early in the morning and won’t have time to do the whole crockpot thing – put it all together the night before. If you like, keep the meat portions separate. Pop the liner in the fridge overnight. Pour yourself a cup-o-joe in the morning and set your dinner to cook!
