Members Roger in the sky Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 thats funny. the whole point of the crockpot is to save time. no you're thinking of microwaves crock pots are for slow cooking, so slow that you can go to work in the middle! back in college we used to load up the crock early then go get beers, get blazed, and generally rock out all night, completely forgetting about it and then around midnight the timer goes "ding" and it would be like like christmass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members groutt Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 Nice. Our New Year's Day was similar - pork loin and sauerkraut. Get some thick cut loin slices, 3 big jars of kraut, some rosemary, thyme, brown sugar. You can use a crockpot if it's large enough - we used a large, covered pan in the oven. Cook at 350 for 6+ hours. The pork just falls apart. I had some frozed leftovers last night. Ohhhh... is right. Do you drain the kraut? New Years I did a pork tenderloin on the rotiserizer like someone else mentioned. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hustled on over and retrieved them, fortunately... I'm all for charity - but I draw the line at my crockpots - hahaha!!! - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deep Bass Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 Lately, I've been making chicken in the crock pot. Either a whole chicken, or a bunch of parts. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Let it cook on low all day, then make rice or potatoes, and salad or veggies to go with it. I usually drain the fat and make gravy also! It's so easy. If you want to try something different, use white pepper (and skip the poultry seasoning); it's a bit different than black pepper.

Good stuff. I think so. My gf did it - she's the real chef. When we do make it again, we'll add some more kraut at the end of cooking, to give it some more fresh kraut flavor lost during the cooking process.

Yeah - I'd imagine that adding it towards the end would keep it from getting as mushy - I do the same thing when I make corned beef and cabbage... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
