I have made a mean turkey chili in my crockpot. I think it's best for things like that..pot roast, stews, soups. I tried roasting things and even cooking chicken in wine. I wonder if my crockpot gets too hot for the long cooking.
I suppose there is some low point where you are raising bacteria at leisure. But probably lower than the average crockpot. Thinking, most like 37 degrees C, which is 98 or so F, if I remember... and bacti are disabled at what, 145, except for spores, which need 160 for 15 minutes. (Did I make this up? this is from ancient memory).
Anyway, farmerman's rigging sounds really neat.
And stone, ya got a stone house? Tell me, tell me...
Garlic Pot Roast
1 pot roast
1 can Old English or similar malt liquor
8 cloves garlic (some minced, some diced, some whole)
12 oz. salsa (I use Ro-Tel tomatoes, 10 oz. can)
Any other seasoning you choose, to taste
(I have been known to add onions and new potatoes, but they are not essential to the recipe)
Cook for hours (8-12) on low
Eat (the hell out of)
I gotta do that pot roast tomorrow and bbq ribs on mon
its gonna b e hot this weekend so outdoor cooking and barbequing(grilling) is the ticket.
osso.our place was an old serpentine stone road house and was originally built in 1763 (very significant year in PA). walls are about 22 inches thick at the base.
I don't suppose you'd post pics sometime, I guess it is rather close to home to do that. But boy, sounds interesting.
I will, as soon as I take time to find out how to post pics. I thought that the toolbar had a method for posting
I was going to submit something until I realised the title of the thread wasn't "Crack Pot Recipes"
my wife went out today and bought a second crock pot. Its a casserole style with two (2) lids, one a shallow and one a deeep, for cooking eagles or something equally big. The old crock pot we got for a wedding present back in the days of ( remember that wshit where youd dip some bread into hot boiling lava -I forget the name of this type of cooking because alcohol was usually involved and I blank out )
We now have a very old crock pot for round stuff and a great big (computerized) for bigger road-kill meals.
Im gonna try that erzats barbeque , sloppy joe sounding stuff that mckenzie posted up top.
I'm resurrecting this thread, one of the several a2k crock pots threads, because I just saw McKenzie's new avatar - great! And, besides, it's a good thread.
@ossobuco,
Oooh will return eventually with slow cooker chicken soup recipe. I'm making it tonight.
God, that farmerman guy sounds like a real douche bag.
Ive just ignored myself and Im pissed at me. CAn someone tell me what I said here?
@ossobuco,
Aw, thanks, Osso. He's a good boy, our little Maxie.
@jespah,
Mr. M. had a craving for some cabbage rolls, so we got busy Saturday evening. (Some exciting evening, but after 36 years, well ...) We lined the bottom and sides with cabbage leaves, put in the cabbage rolls, poured tomato sauce overtop, covered with another layer of cabbage and the lid, low heat for eight hours and went to bed.
@jespah,
I'm really looking forward to the chicken soup recipe, jespah.

Mmmm, that sounds good. Got a recipe for what you stuffed them with?
