Are two enough?
Monday, April 7th, 2008
For Christmas I was the incredibly lucky recipient of not one, but two Crockpots. I couldn’t have been more exicted. Since then, I have been going slow-cooker crazy, throwing together random ingredients and creating some pretty tasty meals. Chris was kind enough to agree to be my taste-tester and thus far I haven’t poisoned him, so I must have the hang of it. Every week I check out two or three slow cooker recipe books and pore over them, searching for the perfect meal to showcase my newfound expertise. I’ve tried roasts, stews, soups, pork chops, mealoaf, casseroles, and various other dinnertime favorites. Honestly, it’s quite foolproof to cook in this manner since the low cooking temperature combined with the long cooking time pretty much tenderizes anything into deliciousness. I kinda feel like I’m cheating. However it’s become quite an addiction to see what combination of ingredients will create that outstanding dish that can’t be topped (no pun intended). You can even make breakfast foods and desserts, and I have found a few recipes of that sort which I shall be tackling next. So my only question now is, are two crockpots enough?
