By the way, if you have a Crock-Pot, it can do a far better job then the top of the stove or in the oven and you run it all day for pennies, not to mention that mear will come out really tender and tasty...Just saying
I marinade it overnight in pineapple juice. It breaks it down & makes it more tender. Then marinade it during the day with whatever I'm making, teriyaki, etc.
But I'll try that. How long do you set it for? On low?
