Have you ever or would you ever try cooking with a slow cooker?

[Paulalove98]

I bought one. I'm gonna try it out.

[SnowedIn]

They are AWESOME! Soups, sauces, pasta "casseroles", roasts. You can do an entire cooker worth of hot dogs for a sports team. We've cooked the Christmas ham in ours which frees up the oven. Yeah; they're fantastic!

[Paulalove98]

I got mine just in time then! It's coming next week the beginning of December.

[SnowedIn]

YAY! You will love it!

Slow cookers are awesome! There are lots of simple and delicious recipes available too!

[Paulalove98]

My situation is Mexican dad takes over the stove and so does my my mom so I need my own mini cooker to do my own foods and desserts lol. I'm excited for real. I even bought a notebook to write recipes😂 How big is your slow cooker? I got a 7 qt.

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t know for sure the size. It’s in storage and i haven’t laid eyes on it in years. I haven’t had my own kitchen in that long. I’m not even exactly sure which one i have. Ell oh ell! I used to have two, but i gave one to my ex when hers broke. You can find recipes online easy but if you like a good old fashioned cookbook, there are some just for slow cookers and crockpots. I typically just cook some meat and veggies while i’m at work. Then i season and garnish based on my mood when i’m ready to eat. It’s the easiest of the easy!

My husband is injured and I go away for work (I travel). We've been considering using our instapot just because it's so easy and convenient to have a hot fresh meal with little to no work.

[Paulalove98]

@watercolor_lions Ikr. Well my boyfriend is in the Navy so when he comes home to me someday and I've had a long day myself cleaning the house or busy at work or errands I figured you never know, it could come in great handy to whip us up a great meal lol.

[watercolor_lions]

Have fun!

I have one. It's best tool for broths and soups which contain meat. On gas stove it's possible to cook slowly but in slow cooker you put the temperature and time, than you don't need to bother until it's ready.

[SpringValley]

I was given one as a gift, but I'm not home enough for slow cooking. I'm not going to have it on when I'm gone, so it just sits there. But if you can find the time, they're really awesome.

[Sevenpointfive]

if you like stew and roast then it's wonderful

[Paulalove98]

Or little side meals I suppose. I'm excited for mine.

[Sevenpointfive]

you can do amazing things with a slow cooker. invent your recipes!

[tfan1]

Yes. My first time trying one - I made a copycat Wendy’s chili. And I was surprised how well it turned out! 😃👍

[Paulalove98]

Yeah my parents take over the stove most of the time so this is gonna be my mini stove/oven to cook and bake. I'm Mexican so my dad is always trying to hover the kitchen lol.

[nolabels]

I hate to say it, but I've never experienced anything that came from a slow cooker that was edible.

I hope you have success with yours.

I really do.

👍😊

[Bricealan]

Cook almost anything in them. I don't use it a lot but once in a while.

[LiamSawyer]

Yes they're great for cooking a pot roast or a good beef stew.

[iceprincess8]

I do it all the time lol, really handy esp if you hate doing dishes

[USLegionary]

Good for stews and soups. Roast beef or pork.

[LavLavLuv]

Never tried cooking with a slow cooker but would luv to tryy

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I have a slow cooker, never used it for quite some time, but would like to start making chili in it.

[exitseven]

We have one. It can do a good job with Corned Beef and cabbage.

[dreamstar72]

Slow cooking is great, especially for cooking a nice stew/or? at wintertime.

[joeldalton]

Yeah, I used to cook in it a lot, but favor my instant pot more, now.

[Agape93]

All the time, its how I cook my stews

[Anonymous]

[mandyfire98]

I use one a lot. They're great to use.

[Guardian45]

[Rollingstones84]
