I still love a good stew. I cannot lie. Well, I can but I choose not to because there isn't much to lose here by doing so. My favourite thing to do is alter everything in the stew one or four ingredients at a time. So, not losing the stew in its entirety but shaking it up a bit for those that...

Hey, hey! Yes, that was meant to sound like Krusty the Clown. As the post above me suggests, it's likely the brand you're dealing with. I've had mine a little over a year now and things are going swimmingly. Also, I'm not the type of person who sticks to the same recipes or does not work that...

Are there any decals for my slow cooker that I can buy that won't leave a sticky mess or affect my sweet slow cooking baby in any way? I'm not looking for anything uber expensive. I'm really looking for things like team decals or event decals. Just to dress it up when I eventually start using...

I have not yet once dehydrated anything personally. I really really want to. I guess I just feel like it might be too much work? I don't know. My days keep getting shorter and shorter on me. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

I have to admit I have not cooked Venison in a slow cooker but if it's a roast there is no way in the world it cannot be done. In fact, I'm sure of it. Snooping around the interwebs found this little gem...

Pork reminds me of chicken and tofu when cooking it. They have subtle flavour alone but when matched with other flavours they become a pretty useful sponge. P.S. Heinz 57 sauce! Man, haven't used that in years. Good stuff.

That nutritionist is taking crazy pills. I believe the rule has always been food first and THEN supplements. There is no way supplements can replace all the nutrients and benefits of whole foods. The definition of supplement kind of lends itself to this idea as well.

I have a little bit of money invested in some stocks. I get the dividends at the end of each year around tax time. It's a nice chunk of change but I feel like I'm not doing enough to kick it up a notch.

I have yet to utilize my slow cooker at a party as a serving apparatus. I'm not really sure why. I kind of feel like something might happen. Like someone burning themselves or hurting my sweet sweet baby slow cooker. Has anyone had issues at parties when using your slow cooker to serve?

lol Thanks, now I can taste them in MY mouth. I've been experimenting with a lot of tomatillos as of late. They were on sale at a ridiculous price (also blackberries but that's another story). Basically, it's a tusk covered tomato-like fruit that is tart in the green form. I am in love with it...

I can see an app being beneficial in connection to quick referencing the recipes people are posting on here. I'm one of those people that does not find it difficult to jot the recipe down but I know people are connected at the hip to their phones and it's much less work to use it. I can...

You know what my biggest issue is? Most things you make are the best when you eat them freshly made. There ARE some things that get better with time. Although, do they get better with time in a freezer? I'm unsure of how the flavours develop in a freezer.

Well, I cannot say safety is my biggest concern. Returns are my biggest concern. I've been reading up on this for about six months now but I feel like there is way more to know. It seems everyone has an opinion on everything and some counter others. I'm not giving up though.

My dream slow cooker would cook every food on the face of the Earth. To perfection. Also, and most importantly, when the meal is done and I take off the lid Jamie Oliver pops out. Not to help me cook because, clearly, the food is already done. I swear, I swear I just want to share the wealth! o_O

I'm on the same fiscal journey, Dom. I've been reconsidering where my money sleeps at night. I'm not a fan of banks and credit unions can only do so much. I was considering paying for some financial guidance from a place like Schwab but then that just reminds me that I'm losing money to make...

It's tough to gauge at this point. Climate change seems to dictate the temperatures. It was fifty degrees (10 C) on a Monday while kicking right down to 10 degrees (-12 C) again on Tuesday. lol I hope my temperature translations were correct. It's been a while.

I have been slow cooking for over a year now and I cannot remember using frozen meat in a slow cooker recipe. I'm a stickler for browning my meat and any veggies before they go in. I'm aware you CAN throw frozen meat straight into the slow cooker but I'm concerned about losing flavour. Has...

Welcome to the forum. Is the crock pot solely for you or are you intending to use it to serve others as well? I believe the smallest is at a 20 ounce capacity meant for single servings. Really dirt cheap. I'm not a huge fan of single serving slow cookers because I think if you're going to go...

I buy a lot of things for the kitchen online. It's where I happened to buy my crock pot, actually. I find that when I can't sleep and I sleepwalk over to the computer and I sleep buy a lot of items I can blame the sleepwalking. Yes, that's what I'll tell my guy. o_O

Sounds great. I make drinks MOSTLY in the winter but I have been branching out and chilling teas after infusing them. It seems like hot chocolate is a popular go to in a slow cooker. I personally do this (supplement the almond for rice milk if allergic): Horchata Latte 7 cups boiling water 3...
