Crockpot Index
The first crockpot I ever owned was a Pokey Pot.My late husband and I went to Best Buy ,but every time I tried to say "Pokey Pot",I'd start laughing so hard that I couldn't get it out.After many tries and the salesman sure I needed the men in the little white coats,my husband told them what I needed.I still can't say that name without getting tickled.
So,after receiving
several
requests for crockpot recipes,we had a con-fur-ance here on the
mountain
and dee-cided it would be down right nay-bor-ly if we made a page of
'um.We'd
be pleased as punch if you'd like to send along a "receipt" to be
posted
with your credits,of course.And it shore nuff don't have to be a Pokey
Pot.

Adapting Recipes to the
Crock
Pot
Recipe

Recipes that lend
themselves
to Crock-Pot cooking are limitless. Almost
any recipe requiring baking
or simmering will work beautifully. Here
are a few simple guidelines
that will help you prepare your favorites in
the crock-Pot:
- --allow sufficient time
on "Low" setting.
- --Remember--liquids
don't
boil away as in conventional cooking. Usually
you'll have more liquid at
the end of cooking instead of less. Try
reducing the amount of
liquid
in the recipe by about one-half. The
exception would be soup
recipes
or recipes with long grain converted
rice which will need the
same
amount of liquid or 1/4 cup liquid per 1/4
cup raw rice.
- --Many preparatory
steps
are not necessary. Vegetables do not need to be browned or
sauteed.
In most cases, all ingredients can be added to the Crock-Pot in the
beginning
and allowed to cook all day.
Exception:
milk, sour cream, or cream should be added during the last hour of
cooking.
- --The rock-Pot cooks so
gently
that a few extra hours on Low need not
worry you. Any recipe
may be cooked on High for the first two hours to =
reduce cooking time, then
turn to Low.
If recipe
says
Cook in Crock-Pot:
15 to 30
minutes
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours on HIgh or 4 to 8 hours on =
Low*
30 to 40
minutes
3 to 4 hours on High or 6 to 10 hours on Low*
50 min to 3
hours
4 to 6 hours on High or 8 to 18 hours on Low*
*Most uncooked meat and
vegetable
combinations will require at least 8 =
hours on Low.
