Perhaps the half a can of peppers, or the 2 Tbsp of chili powder, could compensate for the lack of pepper -- which is likely why people are saying it's too spicy. Salt likely comes from the stock and high-sodium canned vegetables plus the 1 tsp of salt.WanderingMinstrel I posted:Also idk where the gently caress the author is shopping that one large sweet potato = 5 cups.

For gently caress's sake. Crockpot hate is a remnant of old GWS snobbery, because it's associated with mommies and not big tough smart chefs. The slow cooker is a tool like any other. There are things it does well and things it doesn't do well. There are plenty of good recipes you can make with it, and like literally any other tool, the internet supplies a vast number of terrible, inappropriate, or downright weird recipes too. Know who uses a crockpot? - Food nerd god J. Kenji Lopez-Alt - Meathead Goldwyn of amazingribs.com and recipient of a million barbecue blowjobs - ATK has 3 books wholly based on it - about a million other people doing sous vide, because it only needs a small temperature controller to be a SV rig If you're auditioning to stage in a Michelin-starred kitchen, don't bring your crockpot. If you want a hot meal waiting on a cold rainy day, go ahead and use your crockpot.

I didn't say that anything requires it, just that things can be done well in it. Same as a nonstick pan, Dutch oven, etc. If you don't want to own a slow cooker, don't, but it's not like anything that comes out of one is automatically pig swill.

Totally agreed, but it's dumb to clutch your pearls about those stats in any recipe that makes 30+ servings.

Encouraging people to aim high is great, but it's really different from making GBS threads on common tools that aren't up to the appropriate food snob level. Even for people who can cook, most of the time you have other poo poo going on, like jobs that don't feed you, families, housework, and even other interests. Most of the time you're going to be cooking to eat rather than to pursue your craft. I like upping my game on the weekends, but I still have to eat the other five nights of the week. Sure, you can make fast meals, but you can only eat so many eggs, and when you come in late on a cold gross day it's really nice to have a hot, healthy, filling dinner ready to go. Tl;dr the choice isn't usually between crock pot stew and pâté; the choice is usually between crock pot stew and Hungry Man or McDonalds. If you want people to choose the healthy home-cooked version, don't poo poo on it. There are a lot of bad crock pot recipes out there, but we should be trying to direct people to good recipes, not pointing and laughing at them for trying.

If you enjoy it, knock yourself out. If you have the option, a pork shoulder would be much better for the crock pot, and the loin could be sous vided or reverse seared.

I don't think it was the liquid. You can cook pork shoulders with no liquid and get tender results. Can you find out the temp of that setting? I don't know about "instant pots."
