Dude! That IS a good idea!

I am not the biggest fan of Crock-Pot cooking.  It gives me the he-be-ge-bees thinking of all of that pale toned overcooked gunk most people make.  I am sorry if I am stepping on toes here but throwing a piece of meat in the crock covering it with vegetables and water and calling it stew in 12 hours is not food.  There are exceptions to the rule though, the folks at Americas Test Kitchen know how to get it done.  I can say that their slow cooker Beef Burgundy is exceptionally tasty.

Here is another great idea.  Now I am going to step on another toe and tell you that these are NOT baked potatoes.  These are STEAMED potatoes.  But it does count as a kick ass idea.  My hat is off to you Skiptomylou!
