Who has a slow-cooker?

[cathy37]

I do have a slow cooker and use it quite often.  I have made broccoli and cheese soup, pot roast, barbeque pork, chili, and barbeque pork in mine.

They're a great idea for a low involvement meal if you're not in a hurry. 

I like to put pre-braised pork chops in with some mushroom soup, a little milk and maybe some rice. It makes a nice one-dish meal.

Oh my god I love my slow cooker! I use it all the time, and you can make so many easy dinners in there

[autumnsparklemom]

I love my slow cooker. I made a cake with the same cooker as I slow cooked a roasted beef yum.

I love my crockpot.  We especially like roast beef made in it.
In the fall, I also use my crockpots to make apple butter.....so much easier than cooking the applesauce on the stove top.

I have one and I use it once in awhile

[michele2042]

Yes, and I love it.  Use it much more in the winter.   I did recently discover the pleasure of cooking ribs in it and have been doing that a lot this summer.

I just bought one they were on sale.   I have made a BBQ pork roast it was yummy.  Looking forward to making more recipes.  Keeps the heat down in the house.  Hoping my children will enjoy

I have one. I think it's a 6 qt. size, but it's over 20 years old and the insert is cracked halfway through. It's going to be a mess when it totally cracks, but....

I use it mainly for roasts and stuffed peppers. I tried chicken and it was horrible! It was like rubber. Bad enough hubby doesn't like chicken but that night, it was a throwaway meal.

I don't do sides in it either. In fact, I'm lucky if I use it once a week. It's heavy and it's getting hard for me to get it on the counter.

I have a couple Nesco roasters and they can slow cook, too. So, when the crock pot goes, I'll be using the smaller 5 qt. Nesco then.

I've made chicken in mine several times. One of the things I make is shredded chicken for various meals. I put in large package of chicken breast, let it go for 6-8 hours, and ten shred it! I've also made Chicken and Dumplings, Whole Chickens, and some other meals. Would you like some of the recipes I have? I was using my mom's before I got the newer ones and she got her's in 1977!

I have one and its the large size.  I rarely ever use it just never got into making much in it but I want to get a smaller one because there are only two of us and maybe try to get in the habit of making stuff ahead. 

It really comes in handy for making a lot of meals. There are 3 of us in my family and I will make a large meal and then portion it out and freeze. The other day I used both to make some meals and then dinner. Yesterday, I made what I thought was going to be a fail, Mac and Cheese recipe, and I made BBQ Pork ribs for my dad. I had A LOT left over because I ended up making a box mac and cheese instead. The problem was, the recipes said to cook it for 2 1/2-3 hours on LOW, I did that, and had to crank it up on HIGH for 4 more hours!!

I've been taking time out enough to put stuff in a Gallon sized bag and freezing it. Then when I want it, I put it down to thaw over night, then that morning, right into the Slow Cooker!! There are a lot of e-books and websites now with this idea in mind. I have come across a lot of wonderful recipes!!

Apple Butter...

I dont cook s no slow cooker

[dsosnowski06]

I have 2 but mainly use the 7 qt because I usually cook a roast in it.  Our favorite meal that comes out of it has to be pot roast where I use Catalina Salad dressing and add potatoes, carrots and onions.

[gsdoss]

I use mine year round
