Did my slow cooker malfunction?

The recipe called for no water and a stick of butter, so it was just the butter and juices/oils from the meat.

Did you read that article on “Mississippi Roast” in the NYT too?

Yep. That’s the one.

Costco carried a brand of slow cooker for a while that was restaurant grade, meaning it had to perform at higher temps than traditional models.
I burned a batch of chili on low with that thing and would have set the house on fire if I hadnt randomly come home that day for some reason. This was only about 2 hours into an 8 hour cook.
