Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 One of our favorites is a whole chicken or ribs covered with a jar of Bone Suckin' Sauce. I've also done stew and chili in there. Sorry, no exact recipes, just like you said, throw in a bunch of ingredients and come home to dinner!

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have a crockpot problem. I have one of those new crockpots that you can set the cook time on, and select high or low, and then it goes to "warm" after the alloted time. I've found the "warm" keeps it more than warm, it keeps it extremely hot. So, here's my problem. I leave my house by 7 am every morning, and we do not return until 5:30 at night. THat is WAY longer than most recipes call for. So, does anyone here think I could reduce the cooking time and let it sit on "warm" the rest of the time?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 One of our favorites is skinless, boneless chicken brests with taco seasoning. Cook, shred & it is great for tacos, burritos, salads...whatever! Also, I just purchased a cookbook at Costco this weekend called " Fix It & Forget It " and it is just crockpot cooking. Lots of recepies from whole meals to deserts. > > I used to love to make things in my crockpot it made life a lot easier > to just throw the ingredients in and let it go all day.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I received the " Fix it & Forget It " book for christmas. there are some great recipes in there. we've even tried the mac and cheese, using gluten free noodles of course. deliscious. *and for the person with the problem about the cooktime... There are some recipes in the book that call for cooking it 10hrs. It should still be warm if it shuts off after 10hrs and you ate it a half hr later. these recipes might work better for you! I reccomend the book. just need to substitute GF items in some recipes. and i always 'tweak' recipes to my liking, whether the recipe is GF or not. > > > > I used to love to make things in my crockpot it made life a lot > easier > > to just throw the ingredients in and let it go all day.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yeah, I have that book. Actually, I have both books (they have one that is for entertaining too...both are quite good) I was just hoping to expand our options. The warm cycle is EXTREMELY "warm"...in fact, I'd say it's HOT. So it keeps cooking the food, so even if it shuts off after the prescribed amount of time the food keeps cooking. Which is why I wondered if it was supposed to cook for, say, 8 hours, if I did the cooking for like 6 and then let it sit on warm if that would be ok. I should probably just try it, and have a back-up plan in case it doesn't work.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have the opposite problem - my crockpot is old and I'm pretty sure it only has one temperature now - HOT! Even on low, 8 hours is starting to dry out so I have my husband run home and turn it on late or my dad runs in and turns it off early (it's great having family for neighbors!!). And our backup plan is always a bowl of cereal On Wed, 15 Feb 2006 11:25:52 -0500, Calacci, Bridget wrote > Yeah, I have that book.

I use a vacation light timer to turn it on later. I've only done this with vegetarian dishes, but it works well. I have a weird sleep schedule, so I can put food together when I go to bed (often 2-4am), and set the crockpot to turn on around 10am, that way my food is done by 3pm or 4 when I am ready to eat. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Use ICE as part of the liquid, on top of the ingredienhts. Then a simple wall socket timer to turn the unit on later in the day. Keeps the food safely cold until it cooks and reduces cooking time. -----Original Message----- I have a crockpot problem.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 That is ingenious...I never would've thought of ice. I did think of the timer, except my crockpot is one of those fancy digital ones that needs power to set. Isn't technology great?? Grr.... but ice, that's clever.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Maybe you need one of the ultra ovens I saw on Food Network a while back: it has both a chill cycle and a cooking cycle and is fully programable. You can put the food in, set it to maintain it at a cold temperature until a given time, then have it cook the food. I think the ovens ran about $12,000....

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yeah, technology is grand -- too bad they don't have a delayed start time setting for it (but most people are dumping in raw meats, so I suspect they don't for safety reasons). It's really a poor man's version of the new combo frig/ovens -- keep it cold until you need it to come on, then come home to a hot cooked meal. But, if you are really interested - a good crockpot can be had for $20 if you watch for sales, only slightly more for a really big one (just it will be a " stupid " one, with only on/off and maybe a high/low setting - which works well with a wall timer). -----Original Message----- That is ingenious...I never would've thought of ice.
