stock in the crockpot (was Questions)

January 25, 2005

I make my stock in a crockpot because I am away from home when I work long

shifts and I am not comfortable leaving my gas stove on.

I have been listening to some tapes of Sally from a seminar given in San

Francisco back in 1990 (I think). During the Q & A period someone asked this very

question. Her reply was that since the liquid does not reach a boil which

liberates the unwanted components as the scum we are supposed to skim off, she

does not use the crockpot. One could boil to liberate the scum and then

transfer to the crock pot (on the tape she said this would be too much trouble

for her, as she likes to keep it simple.)

You can definitely make stock in a crockpot (I assume you mean an

electrical one) but you have to get one which will let you set the

temperature low enough to just gently (barely) simmer the stock. The ones

I've tried are all too hot even on the lowest setting.
