This past week I made a batch of buffalo chicken in the crockpot and I used the temperature probe - the chicken was perfect and it took 2-2½ hours instead of 3-4 so definitely cooks higher. I also made the Tex-mex Cobb salad, only we toss all the ingredients together and last night I grilled chicken breasts which came out great. Score two for the grill. I used a quick rub from the Weber grill book. It had garlic & onion powders, s&up and chili powder- I used Penzey's medium hot and it had good flavor.
