Cholent Review - Parashas Yisro

This weeks cholent was good, but not my best. I did not over stuff the pot but some of the carrots were not as cooked as I would have liked. I put in less pepper this time but the person who complained in the past that there was too much pepper didn't come. I have been out of wheat berries for a few weeks but hope to add them to Parashas Mishpatim's cholent. I am wondering if I should cook the cholent on high...
