According to Heston Blumenthal, one of the UK's most successful chefs, rare beef should be cooked at 50°C/122°F. I need to cook this joint today. I've been in deserts in the mid 40°C's/113°F'...

After reading all the previous comments (from 2015), I have decided to take my hard beans and soup out of crock and put into pot on stove and boil then let cool; if that doesn't work, I'll try the...

I used my new crock pot for the first time today to make black bean soup. I soaked the beans overnight and then cooked them on high for an hour in the crock pot this morning. I then added sauteed...

So say you have some free time in the morning or mid day to make a dish that benefits from long simmering. It was massaman curry, but stews or a bolognese would work in this case as well. Do you l...

During Maerina's discussion about Coq au Vin recently, hotoynoodle described the dish as Peasant Food. That comment caught my attention. It's a phrase I've used more and more over the years to desc...

Hey everyone, I've been eating a lot of skin on salmon lately and I've been curing it, then cooking it and saving the fat that comes off in a jar in my fridge. Any ideas for how I should use it? I...

A recent batch of pork ragu was ruined by a spoiled can of tomatoes! Hours of work wasted because I failed to taste test beforehand [it was a very popular US brand]! My grocer says this is increa...

I want a simple, throw-together-in-the-morning Jambalaya that will be ready at the end of the day. Any reason I can't dump a box of Zatarain's, water, butter/oil, and meat in the Crock Pot?

Whenever I try to make a beef stew, the meat pretty much always comes out tough, and is not tender etc as the recipe always promises. What am I doing wrong? Today's stew was stew meat from New Le...

Hey y'all, first time posting and was wondering what simple, healthy meals you know of that can be cooked solely in a crockpot or take less than 30 minutes to cook on a small hotplate? I'm a trucke...

I used shoulder chuck roast. My roast has been on high in the crock pot for 3.5 hours. The vegetables are soft and tenders but the meat feels very tough. Did i over cook it or is not cooked enough?

I am a huge fan of Spanish salted anchovies in olive oil. So I ran across some jarred anchovies and some salted ones. More exotic than the snacking type I love. But I don't know how to use the...

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 ...

Hi everyone, I am brand new. Two hours ago, I put two frozen thick cut bone-in pork chops in my new slow cooker on medium. Just now, I inserted the attached temperature probe into the center...

Anyone know how to reproduce this? First time making bone broth and I live on this stuff. I want to home cook it myself for cheaper. I'm a terrible cook but if there's one thing I will try masterin...

Hi, this is probably a silly question but I am slow cooking a leg of lamb. I’ve read that the ideal temperature on my meat thermometer should be 60 degrees - does this mean when the meat hits 60 I ...

Hi there; I just bought a whole beef brisket (10lbs). I created a Texas-style dry rub from a recipe I found online and it's been sitting in the rub since Wednesday. I don't have a BBQ, sm...

I slow cooked them for about 8 hours in tomato sauce so I’m pretty sure they got to the right temp. In the past, this has happened to me as well. Anybody know why?
