Slow Cookers

Our office is having a “Souper” Bowl contest (soup or stew) and I’m stuck on what to make (too many options!!!). Last year we did a chili contest, so I don’t want to do that, but I don’t have a lot...

I need to replace a Hamilton Beach 6 or 7 quart slow cooker that had died. I use it primarily to make braises, stews etc. I have not kept up with this technology. Are there any meaningful advantage...

I am charged with taking rice to an event for about 16 people. I have a small rice cooker that will not be able to keep up with the demand. Would it work for me to make multiple pots of rice and ...

I had a small crock pot / slow cooker passed along to me which had been part of a set, but not used. Bravetti model, looks like it'd hold about 2 cups or so. There are no settings or knobs, just...

Hello foodies. I'm shopping for an outdoor grill and/or wok unit and most seem to come at 10,000btu's while several more heavy duty outputs at 54,000btu's, advertised. There seem to be a majo...

I decided to make a beef pot roast using a chuck roast. I seared the meat and cooked it my slow cooker on high for 5 hours when I decided to eat it. The meat fell apart and could shred easily, but ...

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 ...

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...

Was talking to my daughter-in-law the other day. By the time they get the one-year-old twins down for the night they are too tired to cook real food and have sunk to terrible depths. They are both ...

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...

Hey folks. I bought a slow cooker a while back because I have a job where I work an afternoon/evening shift, and I thought it would be convenient to start something cooking when I go to bed (midni...

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...

Generally speaking, I am not a slow cooker fan. With a very few exceptions, I am with Kenji about how anything a slow cooker can do can be done better by some other vessel. (See article from Kenji ...
