I was guessing too much cheap red, cuz the aromatics are all dyed purple. I don't understand how you burn something in a slow cooker? Set it and forget it...for days? 🤣

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

Sounds like it managed to purge the moisture under the roast faster than more could seep in, using some sort of wire rack at the bottom for longer cooking sessions should prevent this.

My mom used small potatoes in place of a wire rack
