Chicken breasts (however many you have) + Salsa to cover (usually two jars).

Things that will turn out like total poo poo in a crockpot: ... anything with canned cream soup or packets of onion soup mix

I'll chime in and add jars of salsa (with 8 hour chicken breast).

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

Can you list 3 that haven't already been shared ITT? Anything you are cooking in a crock pot can just be done on the stove or in the oven with a pot or dutch oven. I can even save the number of dishes I create by browning the beef chuck in my dutch oven prior to braising it for pot roast; -1 thing to wash.

As already pointed out, it's a tool for keeping food warm at potlucks.

Go ahead and share the ones you think require a crock pot. The first result for Kenji was making tomato sauce in a dutch oven.

In addition, I hope you are aware that people can brown things AND THEN put them into slow cookers, right???

I hope you are aware that you didn't read his post, right???

Also, if you're looking to do advanced crockpot cooking...
Yes, I know it's not nearly as good as a real sous vide but some of us are poor.

You can get an Anova for like $130 when they're on sale, which is pretty regularly. The days of $500 immersion circulators being necessary are over.

Pork Loin is lean and benefits from high heat dry air roasting (or svizzling) rather than low and slow, right?
