Thread: Oven vs Slow Cooker

The problem is that the slow cooker does not have a simmerstat like an oven, so even set on low it will still reach boiling point, just taking longer to get there than on med or high. When it gets near to boiling, the water in the meat is evaporated out.
In the oven the temp can be kept lower. If the oven is set too high it will still dry meat out
Oven bags are great because they hold positive pressure
