Challenge #24: Slow Cooked Food

[miss_s_b]

(suggested by el_staplador)

This week's challenge is to make something slow cooked. This can be done in a slow cooker/crockpot, or in a casserole dish in the oven, or even slow-roast some meat or something.

Oh yay, this is definitely in my wheel house!

Although forming a recipe might be a bit difficult, I'm very much a little bit of this, a little bit of that sort of gal when it comes to the slow cooker.

Often me too; that's part of the fun IMHO

Added the Modpost tag :P

OMFG I'm SUCH an idiot

Where the hell have I been that I missed this. Oh that's right, work has been utter hell.

Anyhoo, I've graduated from slow cooking to pressure cooking. THA BOMB

Well aren't YOU the fancy pants LOL

[missdiane]

It's the latest fad. I got mine on sale and it does slow cook as well as pressure cook and saute and cook rice. But to be able to make a whole fall-apart roast in half an hour is fabulous.

I do want to make congee in it. My buddy told me it takes 20 minutes

My dad used to have a pressure cooker when I was a kid, so I think of them as a seventies thing, but when we watched Back In Time For Dinner we discovered that they go back as far as the thirties!

I've never actually used one myself.

The newfangled electric ones don't have the risk of the ones in the past of the lid blowing off like you see in movies. My parents had one of the old style and while it never did that, the noise used to make me nervous.

[miss_s_b]

Yeah, ours used to be quite noisy.

I should try to make a little video of mine sometime! Interactive challenge!
