I recall thinking that Besh got screwed out of an Iron Chef competition that I thought he should've won. Wonder if the Chairman knew something was up and put his thumb on the scale.
The single advantage of a crock pot is its cheap. But the low temp on them tends to be too high...over 200 perhaps by a lot. And that is neither low nor slow.
Not even good for a hot dip, e.g. queso, because it's too hot and scorches it.
I suppose you could make soup in it.
