So you do it all in the one pot! Genius!<br />I can tell the difference when I've seared it. Or maybe it was a different cut of meat that time!?!?!? But it works beautifully without browning it first as the others have all said. My favourite meat to use in it is chuck steak or..... lamb shanks. Oh my, lamb shanks in the slow cooker..... to cie for! *sigh*Just MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372267595307266997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617609328294072924.post-88763228818941546442012-09-26T19:49:24.847+10:002012-09-26T19:49:24.847+10:00$20 woot woot.
Like Abby said it's just for t...$20 woot woot. <br />Like Abby said it's just for taste. I think maybe it just seals the juices in or something? ...I may have made that up :P<br />But yes, I never bother browning the meat first. Too lazy, lol. The reason I use the slow cooker is so I don't have to use any fry pans or put in any effort :P <br />Love you!<br />xoxo<br />And hope you're feeling a heap better and bouncy-er Beth and Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680179211937501427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617609328294072924.post-37640460327735378732012-09-26T16:06:29.780+10:002012-09-26T16:06:29.780+10:00I hope you get a lot of use out of it Tam.

This is how I overcame my fear of red meat!!! :) I think maybe you mean 'sear' the meat, more than 'seal' the meat - and it's just browning it in a hot fry pan in oil, and it's 100% for the taste. A lot of recipes say 'to save time, skip browning the meat first and just throw it all in the slow cooker' (maybe in more professional recipe-ish words) but yes, it's just for taste :) Looking forward to hearing how it goes, what are you making?!! :) PS: $20 is a bargain!!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508311593157719111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617609328294072924.post-43421745383327381972012-09-26T08:24:17.297+10:002012-09-26T08:24:17.297+10:00Slow cookers are awesome!

I've never sealed the meat and my Mum uses them a couple of times a week and never seals the meat... and it tastes great.. although having never sealed the meat I don't have anything to compare it to, lol.
