Crock pot tips and recipes

I use mine to make a lot of different soups-- especially Indian dal recipes. If you want to make something with bay leaves or cardamom pods or something you want to strain out before eating, try using a tea ball! I put all those kinds of things in there, then lift the whole thing out when it's time to serve. Then nobody accidentally bites into a whole peppercorn and complains that it's too spicy. :-D0

Bumping for later, great thread! I've had a crock pot for a while now but don't use it as often as I want to because I don't know what to put in it. Thanks for the ideas everyone.0

I have one night a week where I prep loads of veg for crockpot meals then freeze it in bags so I just need to throw a bag in the crockpot in the morning and come home to yummy food. It means I can buy veg in bulk and makes weekdays far easier (I work long hours).
I bought a timer if the meal needs fewer hours than I'm at work for. I use my crockpot most days.
Thank you, excellent idea! Its all about simplifying!0 -
This is making me hungry! Great posts/ideas. Thanks everyone.0

Indian food, especially vegetarian is a great resource - can have loads of flavour and be less calorie dense than typical American or UK fare. For instance: Dal Makhani -- just use skim milk instead of cream and could use fat free yoghurt instead of ghee or butter.

Awesome idea! Thanks for the tip.0 -
I often use mine for pulled pork, but thought I would try the same thing with chicken. Put meat and a jar of salsa in crock pot and cook all day. Shred the meat and put on rice or in kaiser buns. So good.0
