Slow cooker recipes
I know a lot of you like/use slow cookers (Crock Pots) and I ran across this: https://www.delish.com/cooking/g362/...cken/?slide=14 Heck, may even try one myself. That "1 of 32" (use the arrow buttons on that first picture), "Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings" sounds pretty good. nb |

My guess is that Insta-Pot is a brand name. Multi-cooker is probably a better name for these things. I pot that can pressure cook, deep fry, and sous vide, would be pretty cool! |

Was it the elevation factor? I love my crock pot but if it was a PITA to use because of being just above sea level I wouldn't bother with it. You can do the same thing on the stovetop. Difference is, you have to pay a lot more attention. Can't just walk away or something might need to be stirred or the temp adjusted. About that chicken & dumplings recipein your link. Those weren't dumplings. They were bits of baked biscuits added to chicken stew. That is not chicken & dumplings in a crock pot. If you'd like, I can tell you how to do it. Really quite tasty and until it's time to add the drop dumplings, pretty much just a walk away and let it simmer sort of thing. Delicious! Jill |

I don't have the manual to check but mine is only 2 parts total. The pot and the lid. No removable interior. Knob on mine is Off, Low, High. It does have a plastic lid though, if that might date it. My older one had a glass lid but that might not have been a Rival. It's long gone and I don't remember. |

Slow cookers haven't changed all that much over the years. The old recipes still work in the new ones and new recipes should work in the old ones. Jill |

In the past I think I've used smoked sausage too. Now I'm cheap and usually use packaged thin slices of chicken or turkey - an ounce or so - just for a bit of flavor. -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

Like lunch meat? I thought you were talking about something like smoked turkey wings for seasoning the beans in the crock pot. Hamhocks aren't all that expensive. If you're buying cheap lunch meat to season beans you really are eating on the cheap. Maybe you should check on government assistance. Jill |

Do yoose know that any stove top can be used as a slow cooker and works far better... choose a smallish heavy stainless steel pot (8 qt), fill it with whatever, brown any meats, add liquid, bring just to the boil and lower the heat to a low simmer or a bit lower. It's much better as you can add more ingredients in the order they need cooking, raise the heat briefly until hot and then lower the heat to a slow cooker temp. I see no good use for a slow cooker except for making pin oats without stirring for hours. After about a year oatmeal got boring so I gave my slow cooker away. If your stove doesn't maintain a low enough temperature use a flame tamer or choose a larger pot... the larger the pot the more heat that's required to maintain temperature. I found a slow cooker majorly limited... slow cookers are really for slow people as they are equally limited, they are on the same cooking ability level as for TV Dinners and for those who think fast food mystery meat burgers are the cat's meow, and that paint by numbers is art. Those who laud slow cookers all suffer chronic TIAD. As an aside our cats love my home ground burgers but will walk away from fast food mystery meat burgers and in disgust.., when the grands are here they want McD's happy meals, our cats are not happy... one sniff and they actually go through the motions of burying it in their litter pan... I shit yoose not, its very funny to watch, would make a great Youtube video.. McD wouldn't like it. LOL I've got one of my 12 ounce burgers thawing for tomorrow |
