I bought a crockpot and wanted to try it out so I looked up a beef stew recipe. I was going to brown the beef but the recipe explicitly said not to, so I just threw it in raw. Anyways, it also said to cook it on LOW for 10-12 hours. I thought that seemed a bit long but again, I never used a crockpot so I just followed the instructions. It’s been about 7 hours now and I look in and the potatoes/carrots etc seem like they would fall apart into mush if I cooked them much longer. I looked up other recipes and realized almost every other recipe online says cook it for only 7-8 hours. Unfortunately, every other recipe also says to brown the beef beforehand.

What should I do? I don’t want to undercook the beef, but I don’t want to overcook everything else. Should I just wait the entire 10 hours? Or should I stop it early?
And yes, I know I’m retarded.

Stick a damn thermometer in the beef you tard.

if the beef is too hot to handle you probably did a good job at cooking it.

Ty. I guess ill just take it out early. 10 hours seems too long right?

>> No.14536959

Your recipe is dumb. Not because the cooktime but because you should brown your stew beef in the bottom of the pot before cooking. Make sure to cook it in a single layer so none of it gets steam-cooked. Takes a long time but it's worth it

the meat is going to be cooked either way. the searing is just for flavor. 10-12 hours for a slow cook is insane unless you're cooking one giant hunk of meat.

Kek, you could just add salt to it or try adding a bunch of stock powder or something. You’re probably just fucked in that case.

Dude after 7 hours of cooking your beef is done. Is it still tough or something? I'm not sure how it would be even if you tossed in a cheap ass rump roast without cutting it up.

Just do what he said and throw some knorr in it if you have no idea how to season your stew. It'll be better than leaving it bland and unpalatable.

Go buy a meat thermometer, and by the time you return, the beef will be done.

2, 3, b

Also, just cook the shit out of it, it doesnt really matter since you boiled it without cooking it first all of the flavor is in that liquid now, so that liquid is the only thing worth consuming

Always cook your meat and veggies before stewing/boiling
