Interesting that this should come up now. This past Friday as i was putting up my cholent in my crock pot, i noticed that the water was leaking onto my counter. Apparently i had a crack in the ceramic portion. I didnt have a chance to buy a new crock pot so i took the whole bag of cholent (we use a bag in the crock pot) and poured it into a pot to cook on the stove. I had it on high for about 4 hours before i realized that the beans/barley were sticking to the bottom of the pot. Beans were soaked overnight. What can i do to prevent this?
By the way, i think stovetop cholent is much better, but the cleaning is way harder…!
