howdy jglass (Yes- I'm kevin... you're "janie", is that right?)

Yep- I find the slow cooker a simple, painless, easy-to-clean-up way to make marinara. Also, no danger of scorching the sauce! I spray the inside of the crock w/ olive oil Pam spray and it's easy as pie!

Remember - don't let your sauce simmer too long or it will start to break down on you.

Tomatoes, puree, paste - all cooked products and a damn good sauce can be made in
1 1/2 hours!

And as far as splatters go - do it Italian style - lift (the cover), stir, wipe, lift, stir, wipe, lift, stir, wipe........................and so on..................
