Purchased a Slow Cooker. (Go Phillies!!)

There's a fantastic website/blog out there that does tons of recipes for the crockpot. She's been featured on Rachel Ray's show and gives a good review of the recipes (not all are hits). She also has 2 kids and it's nice to get that point of view.

Personally I use my crockpot as much as humanly possible. It's a no fail. I have the Fix-it And Forget-It cookbook and many recipes you make in the oven or on stovetop can be converted for the crockpot.

I can't believe no one has mentioned an Aldi if it might be available in your area it's a fantastic inexpensive grocery store. Also Food Depot (if available) is known for their inexpensive meats and good cuts.

Another very easy very good way to cook tougher cuts is the crock pot. Especially with the weather changing it's a great way to slow cook tougher cuts. Check http://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/ to learn more about the cuts of beef and the best ways of cooking them. Then check out http://www.theotherwhitemeat.com/ for pork cuts and cooking ideas.
The whole chicken idea is always a good one, I make 2 then take the meat and make either a chicken soup, sandwiches, or a noodle casserole with the leftovers.

I think I'd atomatically spray it with a non-stick like Pam or something? Did you try this and no luck?

What type of buns would you use for the at-home slider anyway? A dinner roll (gasp)? Bakery potato rolls??

Spraying with Pam first helps, but I have found that if you use 93% lean beef, that works best. If you use less than 93%, the grease tends to splatter on the cooking service. If you use 97% lean beef, the patties tend to stick to the cooking surface. Hope this helps. We love ours!

I already have a Foreman grill, isn't that almost the same thing if I just throw small scoops of meat on it and close the lid?

I agree with most of you this guy would make a deaf guy want to commit suicide. the commercial says it can be used on "all" cook tops but the book that comes with the product says it cant be used with halogen or quartz cooktops. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. as for the grease issue i would use a

After reading all these comments, I will not buy after all. Also one thing I noticed in the ad, that all the stove tops were the same flat type. Some people like myself have the tradition spiral burner and some may have the gas, all three tend to distribute heat different.

Has anyone seen Billy's energy drink infomercial? Perfect spokesman for it. I almost bought some, because, obviously, it REALLY works.

The commercial doesn't show that the patties are "swimming" in their grease. This requires pulling out the meat when half-cooked, draining the grease, then returning the patties to finish cooking. This is very messy since the product does not have easy pour off.

Offal! I once bought some hearts, cut them into strips so they don't look like hearts, marinated them in olive oil and other delicious seasonings, and made kebabs out of them. Absolutely delicious and tender and my offal-fearing children didn't have a CLUE!

I agree with StarvinMarvin. I HATE BILLY MAYS!!! I will not buy anything he sells. Besides, sliders are easier to make with no specialized equipment required if you use AB's recipe.

Wegman's has the correct size buns for sliders under their own brand.

Speak up Billy, I can't understand you when you mumble like that!

I used Martin's Potato Rolls, the dinner roll size that you have to slice yourself.

I probably should have used cooking spray but the thing is supposed to be non-stick!
