    So… What’s the reason you use tapioca for the bbq, and paper towels for breads? Could you just use paper towels for both?
    (All 10 tips are great… Thanks!:) )

      tapioca is actually going to thicken the sauce and the paper towels just make sure liquid doesn’t drip onto the baked good.

    I have learned so much from the two videos I watched on here ๐Ÿ™‚ I am planning on making shredded bbq using butt roast and will be using tapioca or flour to thicken the sauce!

    Could you please tell me who makes those inserts and are they something that can fit into other crockpots, or are they bought inside of a specific crockpot?
    Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

      They were from a Hamilton Beach slow cooker that I had from a long time ago. They fit nicely into my other 6 quart slow cookers. I'm not sure you could find them anymore. Sorry that I'm not more helpful!
