Do You Love Your Crock-Pot?

Postby Spontaneo » 01 Dec 2024, 06:38

I do not know about you, but I love my Crock-Pot. I may be old-fashioned but I love my Crock-Pot more than a microwave and air fryer. I learned how to cook starting out with a Crock-Pot.

What is better than tossing in a few ingredients then letting the Crock-Pot do the rest? Your house smells good, the food tastes good and if you use a Crock-Pot liner, easy clean-up! Just toss the liner in the trash!

There are so many dishes that you can prepare with a Crock-Pot! I have a zillion favorites! For example, good old-fashioned vegetable soup.

Do you have and use a Crock-Pot? What is your favorite Crock-Pot dish?

Today, I am going to prepare grits with butter in the Crock-Pot.

How about you?

We use a slow cooker occassionally and it is convenient. We have never used a liner, are they convenient, does the food stick to them at all?

Liners are sooooo convenient. Once you are done eating, just grab the liner and toss the liner in the trash, instead of having to scour the sticking food. If food sticks to the liner, you are going to be throwing the liner out anyway.

freeze dryer is a machine that can dehydrate foods without chemicals and they can expire up to 30 years!

When you soak them in water they kinda go back to "normal"

You can make crispy cheaps out of veggies and fruits.

You can make your own "ramen flavor packets" as it can turn beef stock into powder. You can turn juice into "fruit leather"

Yeah. I use mine about once a week to make things that cook well slowly like stew or soup, and sometimes for mulled wine or apple juice. I use the stove or the microwave more often though because they cook things faster.

I've never used a liner. I don't really have a problem with the food sticking.

I learned from Stephanie O'Dea, a Crock-Pot guru, how to easily prepare mashed potatoes in the Crock-Pot.

Simply just toss in a box of instant mashed potatoes and simply use ingredients as directed on the box.

Have your Crock-Pot on HIGH for 2 hours!

Voila! That's it!
