So I I have learned over the years that multiple foods can be cooked together in the crockpot. This is easy for me since I'm only cooking for two. When I get home from work (early today, like 1pm) I'll put dinner in the crockpot. A small pork roast, two potatoes, two ears of corn. Roast in the bottom off to one side with about two inches of water, potatoes next too it (stab a few holes in them), and two ears of corn in foil, a little butter and water in the foil. I'll put it on high for the first hour then turn it down to low for about another five hours!
