Slow Cookers

Slow cookers, also known as Crock-pots, are small or medium electronic cooking appliances used to simmer food at relatively low temperatures over a period of hours. This allows for the unattended cooking of stews, pot roasts, soup and other foods. Slow-cooked food also has certain different flavors compared to convection cooked food.

Where can one purchase a Rival Crockpot?

Asked by Wiki User

The Manufacturer's website, www.crock-pot.com, has the instruction manuals you can down load. I also used their Customer Support telephone on a Saturday morning (1-800-323-9519), and was kindly helped to solve a problem with my Crock-Pot, just in time to save my dinner party that night.

Trouble-shooting information for the Crock-Pot Smart Pot - my Crock-Pot Smart Pot would turn itself off after half and hour or so, and would not finish cooking. To fix this problem, unplug the unit for a few minutes to clear the memory. Re-plug the unit into the power outlet, then push and hold both buttons for about thirty seconds. This will reset the memory, and the pot will work correctly again. Select the desired cook time to restart your cooking cycle from the beginning.

What is an awesome recipe for wild turkey in a crock pot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As far as I know, there would be no difference between cooking farm raised turkey and wild turkey.

If you, or someone else, is shooting and bringing turkey home, hopefully one of you know how to get the feathers off, and the entrails out. Beyond that, it would seem that turkey is turkey. It's poultry

and should always be cooked to about 170 degrees or so.

Asked by Wiki User

simple u plug it in and put stuff in in it and then it just cookes!
((The answer abouve would be great if you were in the 1st grade, and if The person who typed it spelt everything right.)) They work by using insulated material to contain heat. Convection Currents further cook the food with the trapped heat if they are heated to a low temperature. This can take a long time though.

What are the advantages of a crock pot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Crock pots are great! You can add a variety of meat, vegetables and spices, and let it simmer all day long without worrying about it. I do not recommend cooking pasta or rice in it, as it will probably come out all mushy and broken. The meat comes out very tender and moist, and you put in hardly any effort.

Is it safe to cook raw chicken in a crock pot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, as long as the temperature of the bird is between 165°F and 180°F

If your stuffing the bird, the stuffing should reach at least 165°F

Yes! I do it all the time. Put half a cup of water in with it and a bit of salt. leave it on the auto setting for about 5 hours. If you want the skin to go crispy, pop it in the oven for 20 mins before serving so it browns on top. It will be the softest chicken you ever ate!

use the juices in the bottom of the slow cooker to make your gravy.

I've done the same thing with lamb and beef too, it works a treat!

good luck

Does water go in the bottom of a crock pot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I asked this question myself and every answer I find on the internet is mistaken. So many morons think you are asking if you put water in with the food and start spouting out recipes. in reality we are asking if you put it under the cooking container like in a steam table there is water underneath all of the pans that hold the food.
