Browning is all about flavor. The Maillard reaction is your friend.

The searing in flavor and juices part is a myth. The act of browning food is going to actually dry out the meat more. The trick is to do high enough heat where you can quickly achieve the desired level of browning and then switch over to the slower cooking method that will cook the meat through while retaining more moisture.

Lipid's got it right top to bottom.

Taking that one step further, if you're doing a steak in the oven, don't be a fool and sear it first ... do it last.

Bake, remove, rest for 10 minutes, sear each side one minute as hot and high as you can possibly make that skillet, and the bonus then being you can eat it immediately since you already let it rest.

You guys have any tips (yes you do but not that one) or secrets? Do you brown or sear stuff or preheat it before putting it in? Whenever I make meals in a crock pot it tastes boiled or something. Other people make great stuff but mine doesn't seem right. I have a cheap one, is that the problem?

I've never owned or even seen a slow cooker in person, but I'd like to get one. Looking online they seem to come in the $30 range or the $120 range. Also different sizes.

What would you recommend? Should you get one of the more expensive ones or does the $30 do the job just as well? Also, what about the quart capacity?

This cannot be true.

Make sure it fits in your dishwasher. I got a six quart one at first but my dishwasher is too small and the damn pot wouldn't fit in any of the corners because it was oval. So I ended up getting a cheaper 4-quart one instead without any fancy display or options beyond high/low/off.

Not to be a jackass but use a fucking liner.

Liner? They make liners? can you just leave the leftovers in the bag and put them in the fridge? that sounds genius!

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Sounds like good material for a thread that isn't specifically about not using an oven, Mr. French Laundry.

3 ingredients:

Either pork chops or chicken breasts
Can of diced pineapples
Bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce

On low for 8 hours. Awesome every time.

Awesome tonight and will make solid leftovers for lunch tomorrow. My wife used chicken breasts. The pineapple is a nice touch. The chicken was perfectly juicy and tender. Great call Ed.

Awesome. Good to hear. What brand of BBQ sauce did you use?

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

How many ounces of pineapple Ed?

She used Open Pit on the theory that other ones would be too sweet with the pineapple. Despite the low quality sauce, it turned out fine. Do you have a favorite sauce that works best?
