95. CROCKPOTS

Cooking without haste for spectacular taste

* A major advantage of crockpots, as you may know, is that there is very little need to monitor the cooking. Last night, I turned the crockpot to "low" around 11:15 PM and awoke around 7 AM to find the potatoes soft and the cabbage cooked through.
* Crockpots seem to be particularly suited for cooking without recipes. In all, last night's "stew" included potatoes, cabbage, carrots, kielbasa, red onions, a can of wedding soup (in place of chicken broth), and a can of chicken and wild rice soup.
* Last week, I made chicken breasts with spaghetti sauce, sliced peppers, and basil. The chicken was deliciously tender!
