I love that thing. It truly is one great time saver. I start dinner at lunchtime and it’s ready by 5:00, can’t get any better than that. And you can cook anything - providing that it fits into that pot.
I have cooked a whole chicken in there and used the stock for other recipes as well. Eggplant, squash, potatoes, and string beans. Pulled Pork, the possibilities are endless. Beef stew can be done, but you really need to brown the beef on the stove first. It still turns out to be a time saver.
Listen, if you work nine to five you’re looking to save time any way that you can. I should have listened to my mother-in-law 20 years ago. She had always raved about the Crock Pot. And whenever the kids went to visit they raved about it too. She gave me one for a bridal shower gift which I tucked into a closet. Two years ago I was straightening up the pantry and there it was, still in the box, brand spanking new. (Mind you it had been tucked away since 1996.) I pulled that baby out and things have never been the same.
As the pleasant aroma greets me at the door there’s a hot meal on our table every night. This chick is all about multi-tasking. Besides, I’d rather be writing…
