Mrs. cool, I've found that some of the newer cookers run at higher temps than the old ones. That can result in dry food, burned food, etc. I have a new one (less than 4 years old) and even on low, the food almost boils. If you try the recipe again, try cooking it for less time than the recipe calls for. Just a suggestion....
Thanks...I would have, but I'm gone at work for over 9 hours. IF the hubby gets home earlier than me, which he usually does, I have him turn it down to "Warm". I'm thinking of putting a timer on the cord so I can have it come on later in the morning. Someone here also told me about crock pots that have a delayed start time, that's a great idea.
I'm making a roast in it today, but it was frozen last night, I put it in the crock pot (on the bottom) with potatoes and carrots and half an onion. I dumped about 1/2-3/4 cup of broth into the bottom of it, and started it this morning. I think this time it'll be fine, 'cuz it's not only a lot thicker than my chicken thighs were, but it was still mostly frozen.
I have fresh thyme and fresh rosemary and a little pepper on top of the meat. I think this is going to turn out GREAT!!

Thanks Lily! I hope it's good...btw, thanks for the recipe for the sweet potatoes and chicken. i was going to ask you for it, and then read your post that you already gave it! Thanks! I'm trying it soon, I have 2 sweet potatoes at home right now. And I'm sure I have some more chicken thighs in the freezer. I won't be putting them in the crock pot this time.
I still have my crockpot from the 70's and I continue to use that one instead of the new one for the exact reason Lily stated..........the new one boils the meal
Good luck with your dinner tonight Mrs.Cool!

Good luck with the dinner. It came out delicious for us. One thing though... I cheated and went ahead and boiled the potatoes for about 15 minutes. My ovens can be 'iffy' and sometimes the temperature isn't like it should be. I wanted to be sure the potatoes were cooked through. In my case, the boiling was exactly the right thing to do!

Oh my gosh...I thought I was a hoarder by keeping my old crockpot, but it works so much better than my new one! Now I see I'm in good company after all.

I know green curry is green because it has a lot of basil in it. I love basil!! Not sure what is in yellow.. Dawn is recommending red so I just may try it.
Thai curries are very spicy. Buyer beware!
