    Decals for the slow cooker?

    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...

    Slow cooker issues at parties?

    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?

    Has anyone started off a recipe with frozen meat?

    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...

    Question concerning 'The Showcase'

    I was wondering if the showcase should be used solely for crock pot cooking? As in, if you have pictures of other recipes using other cooking methods would that be the place to post about them or is it meant to showcase the slow cooker and these methods/recipes? Thanks in advance!

    Did you try something new today?

    I make it a point every day to try something new. Be it a food or activity or way I tend to treat people. I try new things. My new thing today was: I danced on a stage in front of MANY people. It was crazy but it was fun. What about you guys?

    What was for brekkie?

    What did everyone have for breakfast this morning? I, sadly, had tea. But here's a picture of what I made my god children recently: Bacon n' egg cups! Super easy to make. Circle of bread at the bottom of a muffin tin. Sprinkle of your favourite cheese. Wrap bacon around it. Crack eggs atop...

    Valentine's Day cooking plans?

    Anyone planning on cooking for their mate on Valentine's Day? I cook all the time but I try to make something for my guy that he loves or has not had since he was a kid or has repeatedly asked for but is filled with empty calories. You guys?

    Is there something that should NEVER be cooked in a slow cooker?

    I was having this conversation with a friend of mine and she seemed to counter every example I could think of with a way to make it work. I, personally, stand behind steak. Her counter point is that you can easily incorporate steak into recipes and utilize that. But I stand by steak. I do not...

    Did anyone else find it crazy that Barack Obama was interviewed by Bill O'Reilly?

    I was prepping food a little before the game and I hear the president on the television and it made me concerned for a second because I always fear the worst when they interrupt a broadcast for the president. Came to find there was nothing to be concerned about it's just Bill O'Reilly...

    Mexican Beef Stew

    Well, the stew itself is not 'Mexican'. The ingredients I used from a local Mexican market. This is my first attempt posting a picture recipe here. I seem to have two issues when taking photos/documenting while cooking: 1. I eyeball a lot of my recipes. 2. I completely forget to take pictures...

    Are travel bags for slow cookers necessary?

    One of my friends suggested I get one but I question their relevance. Is it supposed to be helpful in a way I am not seeing? Why does it have to be specifically for slow cookers? Can't a regular bag work with the same result? Why would I need a carrying case for a slow cooker? Clearly I have a...

    Slow Cooker Liners

    Does anyone else use these? I find them to be fantastic. For some crazy reason I am always so concerned about moving around the ceramic cooking pot in order to clean it. That combined with needing the slow cooker to be incredibly clean at all times seems to lead to unnecessary trepidation...

    Yo-yo ___@

    Just wanted to say 'hey'. Hey! I love my slow cooker. I love utilizing it for funky strange things you wouldn't expect to come out of a slow cooker. Sadly, I only seem to take pictures of the final result. I'm going to try to alter that and take pictures of the step-by-step process. I hope =-/
