That sounds amazing! I bet this would be perfect for a twice baked potato. I always make really inconstant baked potatoes and every time I try to make a twice baked, I fail horrifically. This sounds like the perfect solution. I love how people keep turning me on to new crockpot ideas that I...

Hi Rash! I just joined myself and you can probably see how I've been excitedly responding to everyone. Hopefully we can get to know each other and share some recipes! What's your favorite thing to cook in the crockpot?

That sounds amazing. Have you tried making other kinds of sauces? This post has inspired me to try and make some BBQ sauce. I bet I could make a ton of bottles using my large crockpot. Man, do you ever wonder what our old Italian Nana's and great-grandmothers would think of our daily crockpot...

I little late for Thanksgiving, but we made delicious candied carrots and creamed onions on two separate occasions with two crockpots. For the candied carrots we basically made a diluted simple syrup using brown sugar and a little bit of nutmeg, cinnamon, and butter. I'm not sure about the...

This is exactly why I leave mine plugged in! So much easier to start a meal before I go to work and come home to it freshly prepared. It has made my life so much easier, especially back when I was single. Now that I'm married, my freelancing husband usually starts meals around noon and we eat...

Personally, I like a nice beef stew. I always use: 1 pound of beef, cut into cubes. 4 cups of beef stock 1 red onion 3-5 garlic cloves 1/4 cup butter (I'm low carb - high fat) 1/4 cup of heavy cream (again, low-carber here!) salt onion powder garlic powder paprika Sometimes use: Bacon...

That recipe sounds absolutely delicious. It kind of reminds me of a fondue instead of a soup. If I were making this, I would probably also add some grilled onions and some broccoli (although I may wait an hour to add the broccoli) so that I could end up with a broccoli cheddar soup, like the...

Here's my thought on the subject - what the heck would I do if I was home and something DID go wrong? If an electrical fire started, I'd freak out anyway and would probably leave the premises without doing anything. I mean, I believe it would be unsafe to unplug a cord that's on fire, correct...

I've heard of people making desserts in the crockpot, although I've never tried it myself. Does anyone have a good crockpot dessert recipe? I'm partial to chocolate and I imagine that melted chocolate in the slowcooker could be absolutely divine. I've also often wondered about using the...

I'd like to make a suggestion - what about two crockpots? Personally, I have two large ones and I've found that it has been amazing. On Thanksgiving alone it was a huge lifesaver and if you have such a big group to feed (sounds like The Brady Bunch!) it couldn't hurt to have two different meals...

I recently read this forum post: http://www.crockpotable.com/threads/candle-making.74/ about using a crockpot to melt candle wax and my husband agrees that it would be a great idea (plus, I tend to mess up our kitchen on a monthly basis with my crafting). Anyone know any brands of small and...

I make candles but I never actually considered the possibility of using a crockpot to melt the wax! That's ingenius. I see that you actually posted this quite some time ago, but I had to respond since this question is right up my alley. Since November, have you tried this? I would love to hear...

Here is what we do (although I should give fair warning that my husband and I are voluntarily on a high-fat diet!) First, we smear the chicken with butter and add seasonings. We never add any water or broth. We cook it for a solid 6 hours and then very carefully, we remove the chicken and...

Anyone else do this? I'm wondering because while I absolutely love chicken that falls right off the bone, I'm also very particular to a crispy "breading" (I do low-carb cooking, so it's usually more of an almond flour or cheese coating.) We tend to slow-cook drumsticks, for instance, for 6...

Hi Everyone, My husband and I are both low-carb freaks! We've found that using a crockpot for low-carb meals is one of the easiest and cost effective ways to cook large meals that we can reheat. Plus, sometimes low-carb food doesn't taste as great as their carby counterparts. However...
