i never liked my slow cooker. gave it away to an office friend. why?

you still need to pre-cook before you get anything good from it. brown everything. it takes up to much counterspace in my retardedly small kitchen. (same goes for storage). plus anything you can do in a slow cooker, i can do in a cast iron dutch oven placed in a 250 degree oven.

just got back from turkey hunting. my host family tried ribs of some animal. nothing was pre-browned, and the result was some watery, clear, fatty mess. no thanks. i bet the leftovers will still be there next weekend when i go back.
