The newer pots heat from the bottom and sides of the heating element to ensure even cooking.<br /><br />I'd stick to "easy" dishes until you get a feel of your particular pot, then you'll know if it tends to cook at the top of bottom of Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-13881457484632860892011-11-13T04:18:53.447-08:002011-11-13T04:18:53.447-08:00Just started slow cooking and picked up your book ...Just started slow cooking and picked up your book (the yellow/1st one I think).
