• (Alternately, you could saute them on top of the stove) Then I combine as above, and put it in a microwaveable dish with a cover.

• Mine has a glass lid, so I covered it with that and stuck the crock in the microwave oven.
• (Micro-cooking in a slow-cooker crock, stand back so you don't get sucked into the time warp!) If yours has a plastic lid, I take no responsibility if you melt it in the microwave.
• After it was good and hot, I plopped it into the electric jacket-thingy part of the crockpot cooker.
• I'm sure there's a technical name for it, but I don't know it.
