What do you put in the pot when you cook a roast?Originally Posted by babyharley
I thought the title said crack pot
I LOVE my crock pot... my favorite is putting chicken breasts in there all day with creame of chicken soup... mmmm... so good! Or pork chops with cream of mushroom soup, but John doesn't like that, so I just use water, but they are still super good! (With all the good seasonings of course!) But, the best is a roast... cooked all day long.... MMmmmm!!
Have fun with it Nikki!
Usually just water and seasonings. BUT.. you can use a can of beer. It makes it really, really tender and tastes great! I don't use the beer, I've never had luck with it, it never makes it as tender as I like it, I stick with water, throw in some potatoes and veggies- a little salt, pepper, and garlic salt- and we're good to go!Originally Posted by Fred&Nermal

Sounds great! Like I said in my above post- I just use water. Beer is good too, my mom uses that, but whenever I do, it never turns out as tender as I like. I just stick to water and it turns out awesome. I like to peel and slice my potatoes and put them in there to cook all day, that way they cook faster. John & I don't use any onions in ours, well, I would, but he doesn't like them.... so I just use a pinch of garlic salt, salt, pepper and sometimes some other seasonings, and it turns out yummy!Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
Yea!! I can't wait for those recipes!A recipe book came with it too so i'm going to have tons of fun experimenting with all sorts of yummy new recipes!
lol get your mind out of the guttar/ your chicken recipe sounds sooooooooo good!!!! I'm definitely going to try that soon!Thanks gorgeous!!!!!! What do you put in your roast? / I am going to try stew later on. I got russett potatoes, carrots, garlic, and onion to put in it along with all my seasoning and also a mccormic slow cooker stew seasoning packet and some beef broth to cook it in. Does that sound like it will turn out good?
Is it better to cook if for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low? Also lol that's funny about john not liking some of your ingredients. Me personally- i don't like carrots or potatos at all- but i'm gonna put um in there for Colin lol. I do like the flavor they add though so i'll just pick around themOriginally Posted by babyharley

I let mine cook for a good 8 hrs to get it really tender!
I've always cooked mine on low for 8 hrs and it turns out really yummy!!Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR

Thankyou! I appreciate that!!! I'm trying out my new crock pot right now!!!!Originally Posted by rapunzel47
The most important thing I'd add is that with any recipe, you'll likely be given a time for high heat and one for low heat. Whenever possible go for the slower cooking with low heat.
The other thing to say is check out Cooking with Cattitude. There are several crock pot recipes in there.
I can't wait to try out that recipe! It sounds soooooo deliscious!Originally Posted by ScamperFarms
