First it was the microwave, now it's the slowcooker!

I use my slowcooker for spaghetti sauce and meatballs, stews, cheesy potatoes, spare ribs, chicken, soups and chili. I use it mostly in the fall and winter months. It is so great to have a nice warm meal on a cool evening.

no i dont know whats a slow cooker and i have never heard of it. i just use a normal pressure cooker to do my cooking work faster and i have rice cooker and i carry that when i am on my trips and that set about cookers and tell me more about your slow cooker, i really want to know more about it. and tell me do you like slow cooking and do you have time to spend so late, please dont mind me asking this.

I have made roast beef in them, beans, there are recipes books that give you great ideas about that. ( I would not cook on my microwave tho, I used it for tv dinners and heating things)

Like another mylotter said chilli's are fantastic in them esp if you like yours hot hot hot. Also like using them for curries to mmmmm

The possibilities are endless. I cook chicken in it using all different kinds of seasonings, recipes, and with or without the bone. After the meat slow cooks the meat can easily be pulled from the bone. I cook fish in it that would usually dry out in the oven. I use it alot to make barbeque the kids love to make sandwiches from it. I have slowly cooked an entire ham in it once. It came out very well and cooked throughout tender and juicy. Ooh my I am getting so hungry . Is it lunch time yet?!

Hi Hambug25, my wife do use slowcooker for cooking. She use that to cook lots of stuff, but mainly for Chinese herb soups. The main reason is it require long hours and need low heat for the soup to get cook well done. Also, we use that to cook my little princess's porridge. Just a simple recipe, slice the potato, carrot and pumpkin into pieces, put some meat, then put some rice and let the slowcooker cook for 2 to 3 hours, that's it. That's my little princess favorites.

Check out the many recipes on the web for crockpots.

Whats a slowcooker?? We haven't one of those in our house so can't help you out, I would like to know what a dishwasher is as well?? LOL Hope you find some good stuff to cook in it and please share as one day I might get a slowcooker!!!

My wife also bought a crockpot in terms she also like to called it but she know her kitchen better than I and she said it is good to cook in there this soup dishes in which she said it would stay a long hours(hot)....

I use mine for lots of things. You can make a nice roast with potatoes and carrots or any kind of meat. I also use it for apple cobbler, meatballs and hot dips for parties. I make sloppy joes in mine. I have even heard that there is a special pan that can be inserted in certain brand crockpots that can bake a cake. I just picked up a crock pot cook book at a yard sale the other day(I collect cookbooks). There were recipes for warm drinks and punches too. I love my crock pot. My husband picked me out a new one that has three separate sized bowls. They can be stored inside of each other. Any one of them can be simply set upon the base and the glass lid fits all three.

I love my slow cooker and cook everything and anything in it I cook casseroles, currys, roasts you name it, and it ends up in there LOL they are brilliant things for when you are in a rush and you can just throw everything in there and hey presto it is cooked.

Oh my. I am always cooking in my crockpot. I just bought me one of the digital stainless steel ones. First you have to adjust to your cooker. Some have really low temperatues and some actually get hot enough to boil something. Once you have mastered that you can fix almost anything in it. I use mine for, as you mentioned, soups, stews and such in the winter. But I also fix pork chops and stuffing, spaghetti sauce, roast (and yes you do add water and seasonings, roast, then fresh veggies on top and turn it on high and let it cook). apple butter, Goulash and on and on. This new crock pot that I have has a lot of new recipes with it. Experiment around a little, You'll be surprised what you can fix in it!

Hi humbug25 What is slowcooker means?? I use only microwave..

Slowcookers are the best invention yet...I love mine. It takes the stress out of cooking. It's the best feeling when you walk into the house after a long day of work and supper is pretty much done for you and your family. I do all kinds of things in it. Beef roast, vegetable soup, chili, pork, swiss steak...the list is long. If anyone wants any recipes, let me know!
