online - too many special ingredients. I know, that's just me. I didn't know about cooking frozen meat (and my lousy manual certainly won't tell me. So its a Google and then I get these long-winded blah blah blah. Some try to sell me a cookbook and I don't know if it will "fit" my particular model.

The manual that came with it is really lousy. So I'm struggling with even the basics.

Beans - I've gotten sick of them, though with the exception of chili beans -- I use a small amount as kind of a gravy or topping. (From a can). I used to slow-cook them all the time from my slow cooker.
