I was determined not to brown them first as I am a fan of plop and go methods. This may be my lifesaver. Just a note to readers though; I saw in a few comments that people were defrosting meat and then using this method. It is a big no-no to refreeze defrosted raw meat! Sorry, but I had to mention it.

The pots that have the timers built in will flip over to warm and I'd think that would be okay, but the lamp timers just don't work the same way.<br />I'm sorry. I'm worried you'll either come home to mush or overly dry and burnt meatballs. <br />Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-53399625688432372042012-11-25T12:19:31.545-08:002012-11-25T12:19:31.545-08:00If I cook for longer than 5 hours will they still ...If I cook for longer than 5 hours will they still stay together?

After finding a pound of ground round from the farmer's market, i found an unmarked bag of approximately half a pound of mystery meat, so i decided to go ahead and throw it in.
