Foil pack in Crockpot ?

[piney]

Does anyone here make foil pkg. of meat & veg. and cook in crockpot?
If so what do you put in them and how long do you cook them? Thanks in advance

I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I don't see any real advantage to it. The lid on the Crock-Pot holds in moisture which is what the foil would do, so it should be the same result.

Remember that Crock-Pots heat from the sides, not from the bottom like an oven would, if that makes any difference.

I use my crockpot all the time and have never heard of putting a foil pack, nor have I ever seen a crockpot recipe that is for using foil. I don't know what the advantage would be. Did you see a recipe for using a foil pack?

I have done this with a chuck roast - I did not put veggies in with it because I had other plans but I did wrap the roast n foil and cook it that way. I did not like it because of the sauce I put on it, but liked the technique. I wrapped the meat and refrigerated it overnight then cooked it for about 8 or 9 hrs - ended up with great shredded beef which is what i wanted. I think putting veggies in it would work also - it seemed to concentrate the flavors and keep everything moist without a lot of liquid.
