Until my husband bought a slow cooker for Christmas, I seared, baked, poached and fried everything in my cast iron skillet. Upon comparison, I just don't understand the slow cooker movement, it's a very distant second place and I'm considering just converting the unit for use in aromatherapy.

Ladies, do some of you realize you're looking at a recipe for your SLOW COOKER? The cooking times for this meal are spot on. Just add some more bbq sauce and it will turn out scrumptious!

This dish was delicious, because is sauteed the chops in olive oil first, then added my own BBQ sauce and dried fruit of apricots, prunes and cranberries, and red peppers. With the heat down, cooked for 30 mins.Yum

Why on earth would you slow cook loin which is very succulent and tender when grilled or fried? Marlene of Sydney Australia
