Slow Cooker Recipes

The Aluminum foil reflects radiant heat back to the pot. It has increased the cooking rate.

It's called a slow cooker for a reason.

I get it about energy efficiency. But, a slow-cooker is, by definition a SLOW cooker.

Today's slow cooker dish was cod, prawn, clam, bacon and chive chowder (in other words, potato and onion soup with fish poached in it). It turned out really well!

Didn't do it in the slow cooker this time, but I just want to say that if you're making cottage pie, a glass of red wine and a handful of dried porcini mushrooms in the meat sauce take it from merely good to moreish.

Another glass or three of red wine for the chef is also not a bad idea.

I'm marking this thread for review and emulation!

Nearly all of my recipes have the same first line ingredients and instructions: Pour 8 ounces good red wine into cook.

Boneless chicken thighs, they are less likely to overcook and you don't get that dark stuff that the supermarket the boned cheap supermarket thighs have.

We must have the same cookery book!

Boneless chicken thighs are a great starting point for pretty much any recipe that features a sauce, or strong flavor.

Costco sells big pouches of boneless thighs and they're pretty cheap. We always have some in the freezer.

Did you put the fish in at the beginning and it didn't overcook?

I steamed the skinned and chopped potato, mashed it immediately with preheated milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg, then added the sauteed onions, bacon and fish all into the slow cooker. With the slow cooker on its lowest setting, and the fish added cold, but no longer frozen, the soup was hot after about 2 hours, the clams and prawns were hot, but not overdone, and the cod fillets had flaked down, which was actually rather nice. The only thing I would do differently next time is to liquidise the potato/milk mixture in a blender, for a smoother texture than I got by whisking it with an electric beater.
