Slow cooking!

[Sparko]

I got a crock-pot as a Christmas gift. What a blessing. Food goes in this morning and comes out ready tonight!!! (Its bbq pork shoulder today!)

It is NOT a blessing. You have to put up with the delicious smell all freaking day long!!!! ARRRRRRRGHHHHH. It is torture.

Time for me to make some crockpot Chili.

Hmmm. Judging from the reviews, your model has quite a reputation for high tempatures. ..

I haven't had any problems with mine over-heating.

This is the large one that I got for a gift last year. I like it because you can automatically set the cook time and it goes into warm mode once the timer runs out. I haven't really used the dipper yet, but I might try it out at some point in time.

I think I'm gonna get a chunk of beef, some taters, onions and carrots and let them hot tub all day Thursday.

Slow cooking is all the rage right now. I can't look at my Facebook without seeing at least one recipe for it.

I did have a younger CrockPot, a wedding present, but I chose to sell that off rather than my ancient one. My dad has a oval one but I already have some of my mother's stuff so I kinda hate to ask for that right now.

I have probably the first generation CrockPot. I checked the temp with an oven thermometer and an electronic temp probe (the kind you stick into food). My LOW was about 175, and my HIGH was 289 and very slowly edging up according to the probe. Looks like the upper setting would be good for a little serious baking as well as cooking.

Always good to check the temp ranges of your appliances especially the older ones.

Mine is 43 years old.

I don't use it much anymore, and sometimes think I would like to get a new one. Recipes are better these days.

I love slow cooked meals. What are some good ones I and other T-webbers could try?

Roast, with potato's and carrots is pretty easy to make.

I have never tried making cornbread in a slow cooker.

And cornbread. I keep forgetting that not everybody knows you're supposed to have cornbread with stuff.

(which is also why I hadn't mentioned bacon)
