BENTE, talking about crock. Augusta's CBS station is showing the Chargers and Raiders in the east of the country. I now have to go and watch it in a smoky bar.[p]By the way I like beef Strogonoff in the crock pot. Just a thought, if I find an old crock pot at a garage sale could I not use it on the egg (low and slow. I can't afford the 200-300 dutch ovens.[p]Happy New Year,
Joe

BENTE,[p]I like chili verde. [p]Put a pork roast (diced) into crock pot. Let it cook all day until tender. About an hour to an hour and a half before you are ready to serve, dump a can of green chili sauce into the crock pot along with canned taters and any other spices. serve with warm flour tortillas.[p]I prefer to put spices and sauces into my crock pot about an hour before serving.

BENTE,[p]Ahhh, crock pot cookin.[p]The list doesn't end. Almost everything you cook in your egg (tht will fit in a crock pot) will work... or was that someone said to me about the egg. (about the egg - true by the way - but you know that)[p]Stews, soups, pot roasts, country style ribs, chili, chliverdi, swiss steak, salisbury steak, boston baked beans, boston baked beans and franks, knockwurst/braughtwurst, german potato salid, all types of scalloped potatoes and the list goes on and on.[p]To date my preference is oven/stove, crock pot and best for last the egg.[p]You will like the corck pot for cookin though. 'Spoon Roasts' (so tender you can cut with a spoon) turn out especially good. [p][p]For me, it all tastes better in the egg. I have been going the other way, crock pot recipes to the egg.

Steeler Fan, If you talking about the crock pot insert, I think it would survive OK, as under normal use, it gets rather hot. What you might be concerned with is the lid, especially if it's like mine; made of glass with a plastic (synthetic) lifting knob. How about a cast iron dutch oven? A good number of Eggers cook with them. Good luck![p]

BENTE,[p]This place is getting too big... I wish all I had was a Bob's Kitchen Supply Warehouse! LOL[p]Crock-Pot clarification? Do you mean a crock-pot that would/could be used for burrying in the ground.[p]OR[p]The 'K-Mart' special type. Rival brand or something like that?[p]The 'real' old crock-pots, never used, I always used Dutch Ovens.[p]The 'K-Mart' type we have used a lot until the egg.[p]I am just about ready to offer a sacrifice of a Le Creuset 16 qt to the Egg Gods.[p]One 9# ham smoked on day one. Day 2 6# of beans and the entire smoked ham with some celery, carrots, potatoes and beans for what I expect will be to be a 12 to 15 hour cook in the large egg.[p]These are going to be fantastic bean soup.

BENTE

Grandpas Grub,
i have not done the beans in the egg yet.... alot of new stuff to try with my dutch oven...[p]not a crock pot to bury or make sour crout but one that has the name Crock-Pot actually on it.. i have had a couple with plastic tops and very few settings this new one we got for christmas is one of the real "Crock-Pot" (registered trademark) ones!![p][p]happy eggin

BENTE,[p]Now that is funny. Guess what, Mine is a 'Crock-Pot', I never knew that. I thought it was a different brand.[p]Other than the egg, you will love it. Try the Spoon Roast. It is a meat, stock (or water - stock is better) vegies and let it cook long until the meat will pull with a spoon.[p]No need to season heavily as in effect you will be cooking in liquid.[p]The roast turns out to be a great meal, use some of the luiquid for gravy stock.[p]Before the egg my long cook beans were mostly done in the crock-pot. I do like the addes smoke flavor with the egg. [p]I guess I could accomplish somewhat the same by adding liquid smoke to the crock-pot, something I have never tried.[p]With the ham hock and beans we soak the beans the night/day before the cook then sort the beans.[p]The next night late we put the ham hocks, beans vegies into the crock-pot and let it cook until the next day some time. At the end of the cook we pull the bone and the meat will fall off. [p]From there we eat for lunch and continue cooking for dinner. This ends up being close to a 18 hour cook on low or up to medium at the end.[p]My only guide for being done is when the water (in the case of ham hock and beans) turns brown. From there it just thickens.[p]Don't add salt until the end of the cook.[p]One word of caution. with our last 16qt crock-pot the soup wasn't getting done in time and I decided to put the internal pot into the oven. Turned the heat to 300°. About 1/2 hour later I heard a pop and 16qts of soup was in the bottom of the oven. [p]I have also broken a pot by putting it on a cold surface.[p]Other than that, like the egg it is pretty hard to screw up the cook.[p]Let us know how the cook turns out. I am sure with your experience you will come up with some good eats.[p]Kent

Here's a couple of mine..

Use this one too, but only 1/2 of italian dsg mix and 1/2 of ranch dsg mix. It's a little too salty if you use the wholes packages. This makes a good beef manhatten.

Oh yes, a word of warning, a lot of the new crockpots cook hotter than the old ones. So if you notice recipes burning, blame the gov for making new standards for the crockpots low temps.
