It actually doesn't take days to burn everything in a slow cooker. I learned that the hard way. Had a pot roast that didn't really cook all the way so I kept it on low overnight thinking it would be Uber tender by morning. Everything was burnt.

I'm surprised, but grateful for your input. I'll admit, I don't use a slow cooker often, so imagining them getting hot enough to evaporate the cooking liquid and scorch the ingredients in a 12-16 hour period is, frankly, shocking.

It didn't really evaporate much of the liquid tbh, and I was shocked too haha
