  3. I have cooked and baked numerous recipes over many years.
    I followed thiS recipe exactly.

    THIS IS THE WORST RECIPE I HAVE TRIED IN MANY YEARS.
    DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT, USE THIS RECIPE.
    YOU WILL FIND IS DOESN'T WORK, AND YOU WILL BE OUT
    FOR YOUR TIME AND EXPENSIVE INGREDIENTS.

    I have used a slow-cooker many, many times for pot raost, and wanted
    to try something new. Boy, was I disappointed. I wasted my time and money.

    The result was flavorless meat. There was no indication that the pepsi and the other
    ingredients imparted an iota of flavor (as stated, I followed the recipe exactly).

    WHAT A WASTE!
