Jul 14, 2016 at 18:19 comment added Chris Bergin What comes to mind for me is that a slow cooker generally does not lead to the evaporation of all that much liquid during cooking. A boil + oven braise would boil off a fair amount. To see if I'm heading in the right direction, how did the consistency of the sauces compare? Was the rib sauce you boiled noticeably thicker than the brisket sauce you did not?

Jul 13, 2016 at 16:30 comment added Catija Not necessarily... boiling is not the same as cooking on low... I don't know the science of it but if I had to guess there's more of the alcohol cooked off when you boil than when it's simply simmering... You should make it more clear in your question, though (that you didn't boil the sauce).
Jul 13, 2016 at 16:28 comment added Rachel S Yes. I just poured it over and turned on the slow cooker. I assumed the low cooking will also have the same effect.
Jul 13, 2016 at 16:24 comment added Catija Are you saying that you didn't boil the sauce before cooking it with the meat?
