To Make Tender Meat, Use A Crockpot Or A Pressure Cooker

Without a doubt, my favorite cooking device is the crockpot.  Being able to throw a few ingredients together and leaving them unattended for 6 to 8 hours only to return to a perfectly executed meal is just about the greatest thing going.

I just love serving up a super tender pot roast that falls apart with a fork. Nevermind the flavorful gravy made from the drippings left over from cooking.  With a crock pot, there is no worrying about over cooking; the longer it simmers, the more tender it becomes.  

Of course if you're pressed for time, a pressure cooker can give you about the same results in a heck of a lot less time.  Though with a pressure cooker you need to be right there while it cooks.  I like that the crockpot is more like a gourmet robot that works by itself.
