Watching YouTube videos I've come to realize how many people think that cooking for the family consists of dumping commercial products in a slow cooker and letting it cook itself.

Here's a recipe I just saw:

cut up chicken breast meat
one cup chopped onion - toss it in raw
one half jar of orange marmalade
one cup of Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce
4 T soy sauce

Nothing was said about how you serve it.

The finished product was very watery, and I doubt if I would like it if I made it. I suspect this would be a pretty expensive dish, with that marmalade and BBQ sauce in it.

I'm glad my mother showed me how to cook.
