Anya ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I love that you can use the insert directly on the stovetop to brown stuff, then just transfer it over to the main unit and set it to go.
Okay, that's kind of awesome. Because I tend to skip any slow cooker recipe that tells me to brown a lot of ingredients.
Spendy, but it looks awesome. Possible Xmas item. Really, I use my slow cooker a lot and would love to have one that I could brown with and then set aside. And it's pretty!

Exactly.
smonster, do they have a freecycle list in Nola? Perhaps you could get a reasonably gently used slow cooker on it.
There is, in fact, freecycle. I'm calling Crockpot first, to make sure on the replacement parts thing, but yeah.

No longer a problem now that I live with a vegetarian. "Brown the tofu" doesn't come up a lot. (Actually, I can't recall ever making anything with tofu.)
I love the blog I got the lasagna recipe from: [link] I've bookmarked about a jillion of her recipes that I want to try. (So far I've only made the lasagna, repeatedly.)
Bah. Time to head out to work.
I dislike tofu. Not as much as cilantro, but still ....
Someone once asked me what you could use tofu for. My response? "I hear it makes pretty good insulation." (YTofuMV)
I always brown the tofu. But I wouldn't use it in a slow cooker recipe I don't think.
I *love* crispy tofu in Pad Thai, but all of my Pad Thai comes from the cheap Thai restaurant one neighborhood away from ours, so I've never attempted to cook it myself.
