Slow Cookers

From Wikipedia: The Naxon Utilities Corporation of Chicago developed the Naxon Beanery All-Purpose Cooker. Rival Industries bought Naxon in 1970, and reintroduced it under the Crock-Pot name in 1971.

If the pork chops are about 1/2" thick, they will take a good 4 hours on the high setting or if you would like to do it all day while you are at work, you can put it on the low setting for about 8 hours. It will vary a little depending on the crock pot itself. A little longer will never hurt, you just dont want to keep them in there for hours too long.

Watts divided by voltage. Standard crockpot use 1-2 amp.

Yes, you can... you can cook about ANYTHING in a slow cooker.

no, if you put it in a crock pot and leave it, it will get very squishy and fall apart. the way i warm it is to put it in a pot on the stove over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until warm.

A slow cooker will not roast (the temperature is not high enough). However, if you brown your joint of meet in a frying pan on all sides then place it in the slow cooker with some vegetables, herbs, pepper, salt, stock and a little wine to just about cover it, it will cook slowly for 4 - 8 hours and taste wonderful.

OK, I'm assuming for the pulled pork, you used a pork shoulder. No for the porchetta, you say you're using a loin. Totally different cuts that you serve at different temps. Pork shoulder at 190-200 degrees and the loin in the 150-160 range. I'd would guess on low it's going to take in the 4-6 hour range. Loins tend to very lead--except on the outside. I'd check the temp after 4.

You can braise ribs in a slow cooker. There are several fluids and flavorings you can use but basically you need enough fluid to cover the ribs half way and include the flavors you like (such as salt, pepper, chili powder, thyme, etc.). You can even use Coke or root beer as the fluid along with some tomato sauce and seasoning. This will result in a barbecue flavored sauce when your done. On low the ribs should cook about 8 hours.

Look at the nameplate information that MUST be attached to your cooker. It will express the rated power of the device in watts. Divide this by the rated voltage (also shown) to determine the current drawn.

An 8-quart crock pot can typically hold about 6 to 7 pounds of pulled pork, depending on how tightly it's packed. This amount generally allows for some space to accommodate other ingredients, such as barbecue sauce or seasonings. When cooking, remember that the pork will shrink slightly as it cooks, so it's advisable not to overfill the pot.

Auto Shift on the Procter Silex Crock Watcher refers to a feature that automatically adjusts the cooking temperature and time as needed during the cooking process. This ensures that food is cooked evenly and prevents overcooking. The feature allows for more hands-free cooking, providing convenience for users who may not be able to monitor the slow cooker continuously.

Yes, it will flavor the rest of the food very nicely

Yes, a 7-pound ham can fit in a 7-quart crock pot, as long as the ham is shaped to fit within the pot's dimensions. Most 7-quart crock pots have a sufficient capacity to accommodate a ham of that weight, but it's important to consider the size and shape of the ham. If the ham is too large or bulky, you may need to trim it or cut it into pieces for it to fit properly. Always ensure there is enough room for heat circulation for even cooking.

Yes, children can use the Neti Pot. A parent or adult, however, must be present. The Neti Pot, of course, is used to alleviate stuffiness stemming from allergies and sinus issues.

People often prefer a wide squat pot over a tall narrow pot for several reasons. A wide squat pot provides a larger surface area for planting, allowing for better root growth and stability for plants. Additionally, it offers improved drainage and moisture retention, which can be beneficial for various types of plants. The wider shape also makes it easier to access and maintain the plants, enhancing overall gardening convenience.

The Pot was created in 2005.

Unfortunately, that would be a big fat NO, and I wish I'd googled this question about 15 minutes ago. I was roasting turkey and vegetables for stock, and decided to go from the oven to the stovetop... now I just have a mess. :(

Around edges, the smaller volume of sauce separates from the rest; this small amount cooks faster.
