My goal is to prove to my friends and family you can cook everymeal in the Crock Pot. So far I have made breakfasts, strudels, stews, lasagna, bread, cakes, applesauce, roast, a whole chicken etc. Always happy to share my recipes. Below is the link to my two heros, the "Crockin Girls". Every member of my family, my best friend and my co-workers have ALL purchashed their cook book. Trust me, I get NO kickback from them!

Kilroy, I've found myself with a crockpot brew too liquidy so as a quick fix I add a spoonful or two of instant potatoes. Obviously, that only works for a meat & potatoes brew, but I make mostly stews and soups anyway. Pulled pork is really easy. I follow the recipe on the seasonings packet, but sometimes it's a bit spicy for me so I add some apple sauce.

Like I said, I'll keep practicing.

That's the stuff I cook the most. I've done beans and chili (awesome) and I've done whole grains to make a porridge. Those dang things are so versatile and what I like is I don't slave for hours... it does! Kilroy on "A year of slow cooking recipes" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/a-year-of-slow-cooking-recipes#post-749527 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:45:08 +0000 Kilroy 749527@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ Thanks for the tips, JBBM; I'm willing to keep practicing :) Jetta and Boo Boo's Mom on "A year of slow cooking recipes" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/a-year-of-slow-cooking-recipes#post-749526 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:42:20 +0000 Jetta and Boo Boo's Mom 749526@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ With beef I cut up onions (quarter them and keep them big and chunky) and place the beef on top. Sometimes I might put some canned tomatoes on the bottom (diced) but probably no more than 1/4 of a can. Unless you are making something that should have a gravy (like a stew) you don't want much in there and even with a stew most of the liquid is added much later, closer to the end of cooking. The crock pot really pulls the juices out of meat and veggies and the higher the water content the more liquid it will pull (and that doesn't mean the meat will or should get dry - if it gets dry it was cooked too long). And of course, the cardinal rule is never, ever lift the lid! Unless the recipe calls for it or it's near the end of cooking and you are adding say a can of corn or peas that just need to be heated through. Every time you life the lid you need to add another hour of cooking. ETA: I've never cooked chicken breasts in the crock pot but are they boneless/skinless or have the skin on? If they have the skin, ball up some tin foil and put it in the bottom and then put the breast on top, that way the fat drips down and stays off the food. Got that tip on the Atkins site! Kilroy on "A year of slow cooking recipes" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/a-year-of-slow-cooking-recipes#post-749522 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:37:39 +0000 Kilroy 749522@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ I've had the same results with both chicken breasts and beef. We bought our newer crockpot within the last 3 years; we have another one that predates me in Mr. K's life so it's at least 10 years old :) I probably am adding too much liquid; I think I need to try spraying the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray so things won't stick & using less liquid.

Need to know that first. You could be adding too much liquid. You definitely do not want a lot of liquid. Also, try to cut veggies and meat the same size (or close to it) that evens out the cooking so they all "get done" about the same time. Do you have a newer or older model? Kilroy on "A year of slow cooking recipes" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/a-year-of-slow-cooking-recipes#post-749512 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:28:12 +0000 Kilroy 749512@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ Anyone have any tips for not having everything turn to mush in the crockpot? Because that's been my experience.

Minimum of 8 hours. I'm doing a super big batch so it might go 12. Sometimes I'll do them in the crock pot if I know I won't be home to watch the stove. Hmmm... now I'm thinking I might go get a chuck and some veggies and make some stew, too. It's gonna be crummy here, too, and I won't want to go out tomorrow morning. Gonna have to think on that one...

To make matters worse, there's no end in sight. I really should pull out the crock pot because I slaved over a stove yesterday and IT WASN'T PRETTY!! Now, the food was great (bolognese sauce), but way too hot! Stupid me also make an ice cream base this morning---a custard type where I had to stand over the stove for about 15 minutes. Will I ever learn? :) WillowandWindismom on "A year of slow cooking recipes" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/a-year-of-slow-cooking-recipes#post-662133 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:16:25 +0000 WillowandWindismom 662133@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ Too hot to cook?
