Common Questions - Candies UI
Q: What is the best cut of meat?
A: We highly recommend Chuck Roast because the fat marbling breaks down during slow cooking, making it incredibly tender.
Q: Can I make this in a Slow Cooker?
A: Yes! After searing, place everything in your slow cooker on 'Low' for 8 hours for the same great Candies UI results.
