 A 2008 GWS thread about slowcookers got goldmined I use mine for beef stew on weekdays for the reasons the guy above me posted. Recipe's a variation on one posted in that thread. 1 lb stew meat 2 large potatoes, peeled & chopped 3 carrots, chopped 3 celery stalks, chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1 can diced tomatoes, drained 2 cans' worth beef broth (sometimes I replace one can with a can of beef consomme, because yolo) 3 cloves garlic 2 tsp kosher salt ½ tsp pepper 1 tsp rosemary 1 tsp sage 1 tsp dry mustard 1 bay leaf Several dashes Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water mix (as needed to thicken) Directions: Brown the stew meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove & add to crock pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add olive oil, garlic, onion and cook until onion is clear. Add to crock pot. Add remaining ingredients to crock pot and cook 6 hours over low heat. Real Name Grover fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Apr 7, 2016 |

I'm thinking about making some pulled pork overnight in my slow cooker and then in the morning tossing a bunch of other ingredients to make something like pulled pork chili. Any recommendations for this sort of thing? I see a lot of recipes that involve cooking the pork in beer or root beer or cola, but I don't know if those are suited to this kind of operation.

So that one post on the first page regarding boneless country style pork ribs is bunk or something? Aren't ribs slow cooked anyway? I'm confused, I thought this forum had a massive erection for slow cookers. If crock pots aren't good for making food, what are they useful for? I've successfully(?) made beef pot roast in mine so I'm not convinced it's totally useless, but I lack opinions of my own, so maybe I'm wrong.

Pulled pork chili actually turned out very good. Lots of spice, I put a ton of peppers in there. After 16 hours total cooking the pork was almost liquid, but very tasty.adorai posted:Whether using a slow cooker or in a stock pot, you can't go wrong substituting a light beer for water. I picked up a bottle of Guinness Draught before seeing this post. I'll try some lighter beer in the future but this worked pretty well.

I'm confused, I thought this forum had a massive erection for slow cookers. SA has a boner for crockpots because it is full of whiny, lazy manchildren. GWS is not a fan of crockpots because we actually have standards about food. Crockpots are good for one thing: braising. So stews, pot roast, stuff with tough cuts of meat that need a lot of cooking time to become tender. That's it. Things that will turn out like total poo poo in a crockpot: lasagne, cake, bread, "stir fry," chicken breasts for 8 hours, "fajitas," anything with canned cream soup or packets of onion soup mix, just about any green vegetable cooked for longer than 30 minutes, etc. I use mine more than most people here probably, and then it's only for generic pulled pork, shredded beef for sandwiches, sometimes beef stew (though it's infinitely better in the oven), Sunday gravy. Also for keeping stuff hot for potlucks/parties.

Ranter posted:I'll chime in and add jars of salsa (with 8 hour chicken breast). Yes, "salsa chicken" with jarred crap and chicken breasts cooked for 8 hours is terrible. But, you can make something tasty with chicken thighs, cooked until they just shred (usually just a couple hours at most, depends on your crockpot though) with things like fresh veg, chipotles, dried chiles, etc. I've done it with a roasted tomatillo, pasilla and morita salsa I can and it's delicious. As usual, you just have to use good ingredients and not cook it to death. But those are the rules for everything in the crockpot.

1) Pork shoulder. 2) Season it all over with Chachere's. Then rub some oil on it. Sear in a hot hot cast iron skillet, about four minutes a side. 3) Put in slow cooker. Pour two High Lifes (or something like that) over the meat. Cover, cook on low for 6-8 hours. 4) All in a jar: cup white vinegar, cup cider vinegar, tablespoons of brown sugar and cayenne, few pinches of salt and pepper, some splashes of hot sauce. Put the lid on, shake. (There will be extra.) 5) When 8 hours is up, take the pork out, drain the beer, get rid of the biggest fat pieces and bone, put back in the slow cooker, shred with forks. 6) Combine that sauce with the meat to taste. 7) Serve on potato rolls. Kind of my summer thing. D.N. Nation fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Apr 11, 2016 |

For gently caress's sake. Crockpot hate is a remnant of old GWS snobbery, because it's associated with mommies and not big tough smart chefs. The slow cooker is a tool like any other. There are things it does well and things it doesn't do well. There are plenty of good recipes you can make with it, and like literally any other tool, the internet supplies a vast number of terrible, inappropriate, or downright weird recipes too. Know who uses a crockpot? - Food nerd god J. Kenji Lopez-Alt - Meathead Goldwyn of amazingribs.com and recipient of a million barbecue blowjobs - ATK has 3 books wholly based on it - about a million other people doing sous vide, because it only needs a small temperature controller to be a SV rig If you're auditioning to stage in a Michelin-starred kitchen, don't bring your crockpot. If you want a hot meal waiting on a cold rainy day, go ahead and use your crockpot.

Anything you are cooking in a crock pot can just be done on the stove or in the oven with a pot or dutch oven. I can even save the number of dishes I create by browning the beef chuck in my dutch oven prior to braising it for pot roast; -1 thing to wash. As already pointed out, it's a tool for keeping food warm at potlucks. Bald Stalin fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Apr 13, 2016 |

I didn't say that anything requires it, just that things can be done well in it. Same as a nonstick pan, Dutch oven, etc. If you don't want to own a slow cooker, don't, but it's not like anything that comes out of one is automatically pig swill.

That meatball recipe is not as good as he makes it out to be but it's also nowhere near as repulsive as it sounds My coworker made them one time and just called them "party meatballs" and I think he said the recipe comes from the jar of chili sauce iirc

Jesus. gently caress me for asking. I feel like GWS would be good enough to use a cooking implement to a standard higher than typical goonery, but maybe I expect too much from it.

A crock pot heats an enclosed ceramic bowl to a low temperature, for a prolonged period of time. Crock pots are great at that. What I was attempting to get at is : there are not many parts of cooking for which 'a ceramic bowl at a low prolonged temperature' benefits any recipe or process. braises are good examples of a process that might benefit re: ease of use, but for a good braise, you should be browning your meat before braising, so it makes much more sense to use a dutch oven or cast iron or something you can crank heat on for the browning process. otherwise you are dirtying a pan just to scrape it off and deglaze into a crock pot - which totally defeats the "ease of use" or whatever that a crockpot promises. you can also just dump a bunch of raw ground beef and canned tomatoes into a crockpot, and end up with a grey bland mass of something on par with a processed can of soup, but why bother even cooking? canned stews taste great! and take 1/10th the effort! not at all uppity, just don't want to see my fellow goons spending 45 minutes of their valuable time dumping poo poo in a crockpot, when they could just be opening a can and tucking right in to a delicious meal. mindphlux fucked around with this message at 11:03 on Apr 15, 2016 |
