Hello all,
First, many thanks to all those who responded to my resent post about cooking pork chops! I got some very useful ideas and recipe tips. I haven't tried any of them yet, but plan to soon. I'll report on my efforts. Meanwhile, I will buying a "slow-cooker" soon, one of the few gadgets I don't currently have in my kitchen. I just wanted to ask if anyone has any advice as to which brands/models are best? I think I will probably use if for roasts, soups, stews,etc. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Darren |

Not to mention that you're not supposed to immerse it in the first place! kili |

Thanks Donna,
Of course that's the type I want. Whatever is easiest, I always say! As for what to cook in one, what are the best things? Darren |

Kind of a chicken cacciatore, but not, thing. The chicken just literally shredded itself and was wonderful. Other things are stews, soups, pork butts or shoulders (you need a larger cooker for those cuts) and some tougher beef cuts. I love my crockpot, although I don't use it very often because dinner at my house is usually last minute Musgovian Cuisine (must - go - vian). We use what needs to go and we try to make a meal out of it. kili |
