I've only

made the soup in a conventional pot but cook it four hours.

Hi,Kim,

I'm not the person who described this method, but when I read it, I

interpreted it as she first made roast chicken (first day) and then

made soup from the carcass (second day). If you are just making

roast chicken in the crockpot, you do not add water. Your crockpot

book probably has a recipe for roast chicken, but if not, I can post

more details--it's a matter of washing the bird and seasoning it and

then cooking.

Howver, if you're on the intro diet, I think it's advisable to just

eat the chicken that has been cooked in the soup, not roasted.

mel,

It's easier to digest. Also the skin is removed and the fat boils off and gets

skimmed from

the soup after refrigerating the cooled soup.

Well, I hope Jody, Sheila, or Carol see this because I don't really

know. I just know that BTVC talks about chicken soup in describing

the intro, not chicken per se. My roasted chicken always turns out

chewier than my soup chicken, so maybe it's easier to digest.

I always put water in the crock pot to cook meat. Otherwise, it sort

of sears to the bottom and burns.

Chicken cooked in a crock pot will be fine for the intro.

You don't have to eat the broth.

Crockpot meat is always very tender and I think it will be fine.

Cook the chicken only one hour, Carol? Are you sure? That makes me

nervous. My crockpot booklet doesn't have any recipes at all where

you only cook the meat for one hour.

You are right. My suggestion is for chicken parts cooked in a regular POT. I'll

try and

research the trime for a crockpot. My post was a crock LOL To error is human, to

under

cook chicken is dangerous!

,

An hour in a crockpot will yield a mostly raw chicken.

Meat needs to cook for about 4-6 hours I believe.

Do be sure and check the booklet or the website for the crockpot you

own. The booklet or website will give guidelines for how to let

things cook in your particular model.

Carol mentioned that she uses a pot on the stove and I can see how a

chicken would be done in an hour in a large pot on the stove, but NOT

in a crockpot.

Thanks to all who respectfully replied to my post.

This site has been very helpful to me as a newbie to SCD. However, as mentioned

previously please try to be respectful of newbie posts. All of us are here to

learn so we can succeed on this diet. Some questions may seem silly to those

who have been on the diet for a while and are experienced with cooking/baking.

Thanks again for your patience -

Kim :-)

Not the greatest cook, little experience with meat but eager to learn and

succeed on SCD for the sake of my family.

We are only too happy to help and simply ask of all newcomers to read the book,

study the

web sites for SCD and learn to use their search features. This makes it easier

for us to give

your important questions thoughtful and accurate responses whenever possible.

Our

reward is for you to succeed.
