I frequently use my slow cooker when I am not home. However, I always make sure that I am home pretty soon after whatever I have going on is done. Really because it's just a thing of mine. I prefer what I am cooking not to rest at warm for a long time. I feel like if you plug your slow cooker...

I've yet to do a whole chicken BUT when I have cooked a deconstructed chicken in the slow cooker I always seem to have skin issues. I love a crisp skin and it just never seems to work out that way. Is there something I can do to remedy this. A friend suggested I throw it, split and flatted, in a...

It's nearing dinner but, thus far, I have had: An apple Tea A bowl of pho Fruit salad What about you guys?

I was under the impression that when you cook blueberries you lose a lot of the nutrients? I'm not entirely sure on that one but I DO love them immensely. I can eat them in a box with a fox. Figs, on the other hand, I feel like I have yet to truly explore. I need to work with them a little more...

You know something? I was not even thinking about using the carrying case with a slow cooker full of food! That was not even on my mind. I usually just transfer what I made to a pot or container. I can see transferring food in the slow cooker itself if it needs to sit around and I want to keep...

I own this guy: http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPVL610-S-Programmable-Carry-Cooker/dp/B004P2NG0K Has never failed me yet. *knocks on wood* The best slow cooker I had came from my mother and I cannot find that even on eBay. It was ooooooold school but, man, if everything did not taste like...

I still brown everything but one thing. Meats, veggies, and herbs/spices alike. I tend to use olive oil and my Misto if that helps anyone trying to be healthy. I will confess I use butter on the occasion but sometimes you have to, I say! The one thing I do not brown at all when I toss it in the...

I really want Manning to win this one. I have nothing invested in either team because my sweet sad Bears were knocked out a while ago. However, I feel like they just tossed him aside after that injury and really did not expect to hear from him again. The ring would solidify him as more than a...

I have a similar problem. It seems like everything from small flowers to herbs have ended up dying in my apartment. I gave them water. I gave them sunshine. I gave them love. I even cheated and gave them vitamin enriched soil. No dice. I was wondering if someone know of something to blame that I...

I really love this thread. Never tried the cracker recipe but I have made the brownies and they came out super moist. I also used the Ball canning jars. I've made the giant brownie in my slow cooker without the jars as well. Same result just more to love. Although, the center seems to be...

Well, the stew itself is not 'Mexican'. The ingredients I used from a local Mexican market. This is my first attempt posting a picture recipe here. I seem to have two issues when taking photos/documenting while cooking: 1. I eyeball a lot of my recipes. 2. I completely forget to take pictures...

One of my friends suggested I get one but I question their relevance. Is it supposed to be helpful in a way I am not seeing? Why does it have to be specifically for slow cookers? Can't a regular bag work with the same result? Why would I need a carrying case for a slow cooker? Clearly I have a...

What about slow cooker spinach dip? It's almost as simple but sadly has 6 ingredients: 1 cup grated smoked mozzarella-1/2 cup grated parmesan-8 ounces cream cheese-1 minced garlic clove-1 box thawed frozen spinach-1 jar artichoke hearts A little salt and pepper to taste and shazam! Cook on high...

I've made bacon jam. I actually made quite a lot and gave it away as gifts during the holiday season. I would say the only thing about the recipe is the bacon has to start in a frying pan. Which is kind of a cheat if we are only speaking on something made solely in a slow cooker. If I remember...

Does anyone else use these? I find them to be fantastic. For some crazy reason I am always so concerned about moving around the ceramic cooking pot in order to clean it. That combined with needing the slow cooker to be incredibly clean at all times seems to lead to unnecessary trepidation...

Just wanted to say 'hey'. Hey! I love my slow cooker. I love utilizing it for funky strange things you wouldn't expect to come out of a slow cooker. Sadly, I only seem to take pictures of the final result. I'm going to try to alter that and take pictures of the step-by-step process. I hope =-/
