Re: Crockpot & Salt & Sprouts

[Guest guest]

I use my crockpots every day, and I am home too. I think they are just easier,

not having to babysit them! Debbie, have you considered solar oven cooking? I

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE cooking solar! I throw my stuff in the pots the night before,

then put them in the solar oven outside to cook unattended for the day-amazing

that the sunshine does the work-great for handicapped people-easy to use! Let

me know if you want more info...been a lifesaver for me in many ways-you can do

bread, roasts, etc-anything in them.

> I use my crockpot constantly! RARELY if ever use salt and like yesterday when

I made pepper steak I use low sodium soy sauce. There are a ton of cookbooks

and online recipes for good tasty dishes in crockpot. I love Ray and

every so often she does specific episodes say on crockpots...one thing I started

doing after watching a few segments is I brown my chicken, etc before putting it

in crockpot so it stays more solid (if that is what I;m looking for).

> When I make items like pepper steak I will add various sprouts depending what

I have but lentils and protein sprouts will go in not only crockpot but

stirfries and other things whether crockpot or pot.. in such stuff like soups or

when I;m having braised lentils.

> Some people ask why I use crockpot since I;m disabled and am home...I have

more energy in AM so.. it is easier for me to get dinner ready and if I forget

like today..sure enough had to do takeout...I had a veggie pizza.

cooking
