Slow Cookers

Crockpot. Maybe I have an old one. Maybe it's broken. It's just seems like it tastes...metallic .. tinny.. I'm just not sure. I want to love this technology, just like all the others. Do I need a ...

I recently got a ton of delicious raw goat milk and as I'll be going away for a few weeks, I thought I'd make some yogurt and kefir. The kefir is still plugging away (grains from "Kefir Lady") and ...

I have a Rival slow cooker. I was rather shocked to find out that the difference between high and low is the time it takes to get to 209 degrees. At low it is 8 hrs and high it is 4 hrs. I know the...

This is my third attempt at making a crock pot recipe that involves chunks of potatoes, and once again, after many many hours of cooking (8 minimum) everything in the crock pot is incredibly tender...

I have the white round version, approx. 5.5 qts IIRC. I've had this one for 3 years now and I use it mostly between Sept-Mar when the colder weather calls for comfort foods like soups, stews, etc. ...

I use my slow cooker a bit but have recently gotten a bit tired of all the food in it having the same consistency. For example, I like the idea of the veggies cooking in the juices but wish they we...

My trusty 6qt Hamilton Beach analog slow cooker bit the dust last week and will no longer come up to the correct temperatures at either Low or High. With the holidays coming up in a few months I'm ...

Still new to the instant pot (only used the pressure cooker function so far) and my crock pot decided to call it quits. And to be fair to my IP - I really haven't played around with it much. So...

I have an old Crock Pot slow cooker that has one setting: on. Modern ones have two or three temps, a timer and maybe a probe. I have not seen any with (continuously) adjustable temperatures (e.g. a...

The rule of thumb for squid and octopus is either cook 'em very fast and hot or cook 'em very slow and low. It would seem to me that a crockpot would make for perfect slow and low... but after a...

I got an email from Sur la Table promoting the 6 qt Instant Pot Ultra for the best price I have seen. Free shipping or, like me, buy at the store for the same price. Now all I have to do is figur...

I have both of these vessels & I really am confused about both. Can a crock pot recipe be made in the Dutch oven & can a Dutch oven recipe be made in a crock pot? What's your favorite dish to c...

Hey guys! I would like some ideas, 3 items, that I would make simultaneously, that would cook well in a slow cooker/ crock pot. Each crock has its own separate thermostat, so you can cook things ...

I'm in charge of planning a meal for an orchestra in February. I've been informed by the manager that one of the musicians is a pescatarian. I'm wondering if I make fish tacos (our fav recipe uses ...

Hi everyone, As the title says I have recently (a little over 2 months ago) started cooking on the regular and I absolutely love it. My mother has always been an excellent cook and she taught me h...

Hi everyone, I'm new here, and wasn't sure if I should post here, or in Home Cooking. I received a gift certificate for a kitchen store, and I was going to get a large cast iron skillet, but the b...
