I just recently starting using a crockpot to cook, but somehow my dishes are not coming out the way they're described like "fork tender" or "juicy".... I think I am not layering my ingredients correctly! I tried putting the meat on top, as suggested by all cookbooks, but my meat has been coming out chewy or dry. Also, some of my potatoes are coming out this weird purplish-gray color. So my questions are:
1) Meat on bottom or meat on top?
2) Do I need to put enough water in the crockpot to cover all of the ingredients, or can you cook w/o much liquid?
3) Where do I place potatoes? I thought I read somewhere to NOT put near meat or near the edges of the pot...is that what is turning some of them purplish?
Thank you!
