I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT ENCASING MEAT AND POULTRY IN HEAVY-DUTY FOIL BEFORE IT GOES INTO THE CROCK POT PROHIBITS THE TOPS FORMING THE HARD, DRIED-OUT PORTION THAT FORMS AS IT COOKS ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE LIQUID. THE END PRODUCT IS NICELY MOIST AND FLAVORFUL ALL THE WAY THROUGH. IF YOU LIKE THE MEAT BROWNED ON THE OUTSIDE, DO THAT BEFORE SEALING IN THE FOIL.
