Slooooooooooow Cooker

[cirquelover]

I never fill the whole thing with fluid, even if I'm using water. I personally don't cover the roast completely with liquid, only about half.

Making stews and soups is really easy. Add whatever veggies you like, meat, seasoning and liquid, cover and cook.

I love to make applesauce or applebutter, just add apples, sugar and spices and a little water or apple juice.

From Christmas until New Years I usually put apple cider or juice in the crockpot with cinnamon sticks. It makes the house smell wonderful and tastes great too!

I used to make a great beef burgandy but all I remember is cut up beef, red wine and onions so I'm still playing with that one.

My latest is a hawaiian teriyaki chicken. I put boneless chicken in the crock with some shoyu(shoju) sauce and cook for about 6 hours then I shred and cook a little longer adding more sauce if needed. I serve with rice and macaroni salad just like our local Hawaiian place does.

I'm sure I'll think of more later.
