Hi,

I've searched my ISPs newsgroups for recipes for slow cookers, but found this one and only a few others.

Is this newsgroup a good source for slow cooker recipes? Thanks!

I may well try this recipe, but the amount of liquid you use appears to
be inadequte for the considerable amount of produce. Would you comment
please?

Thanks,

Water cooks out of the meat and the vegetables. Because the slow cooker is
covered, the vegetables will steam. 1 cup is more than enough to begin with.
The rest of the moisture will come from the other ingredients.

If you add more liquid, it's going to be beef soup. I've made
both. If you want stew, the vegetables and cup of broth are more
than adequate with the lid on the crockpot.

Slow cookers don't allow evaporation, so the amount of broth indicated
in combination with the liquids that will be released from the
vegetables will be quite sufficient.

<if you read the literature that comes with your slow cooker (it
probably includes recipes, too), you'd have known that>

I did your beef stew and it was very good. Neeedless-to-say, I shall be
doing it again.

When you mention curry do you mean curry powder? When I dredged the
meat in the mixture there was no flour dredge left over so I added some
more.

Thanks a lot.

Emrys Davies.

Instead of searching newsgroups, try Googling "crock pot" recipes,
you'll find thousands.

Think crockpot recipes and search again.
Use google.

Hi,

Is this newsgroup a good source for slow cooker recipes? Thanks!

We've had some interesting discussions lately. You might, however, want
to check Google and usenet with "crockpot" instead.

I got the valuable tip of buttering the crock before cooking oatmeal in it
from our own Sheldon. Thank you Sheldon. Barb's Crockpot Caramelized
Onions also rock.

I have rediscovered mine and am cheerfully working my way through "Not
your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook" (Beth Hensperger is one of the
authors). Great stuff.

I understand the frustration, but I always view it
as an opportunity. In the land of the blind,
the one-eyed man is king.

I respect that. Career suicide, leaping onto your sword.
I ain't gonna do it, but I respect that.

Does that mean you'll be returning to California?

I'll take a wild guess and say these people were raised with computers
and are most likely college educated. How can they be so stupid?
