Re: Re: crockpot recommendation?

Thanks guys!!!!When I'm in school/at work, I commute an hour by subway, so I often am away for 12 hours at a time. So I need the slow cooker to work while I'm gone or asleep, and overcooking would be a major problem

Thanks so much for the info!!! :)Best,

 

I have this one- The Rival 5.5 qt oval I got from Target--the oval pot removes for cleaning and it can go in the dishwasher along with the cover.  The low setting can become 'high' with time. There is a timer of sorts--you have to start it and it will go to 'keep warm' setting after the time you have set. I leave early in the am and it can over cook if I don't get home until the evening--so I use it on my days home or when I know I'll be home earlier. It still makes life easier on those days and you can eat the leftovers for many days after.

If this doesn't come through--just go to Target.com and put 'crockpot' in the search engine. It will be the first one listed on the page.  You can go to Target ( is there on in NYC) and look at them.

,I'm in the same boat, 1 hour 15 minutes to and from work, so 2.5 hours just driving a day (without traffic). I usually cook a pot of chicken soup, then let it sit and cool on the stove top until the morning. I wake up early and finish it. I have it down to 30 minutes finished when I wake up, and the dishes are washed! The other thing I do to save time is make tuna or chicken salad, it's easy to make, rarely gets old, and tastes pretty good on an scd roll.If you can tolerate alot of cheese you can make a casserole from ground meat, veggies, DCCC, mild cheddar, and you can put almond flour in there too if you can handle it. I made a 20 pound casserole last time, and it lasted a whole week :)My new favorite for the crock pot is to take a large piece of pork and don't even brown it. Just put it in the crock pot with a little water (about half way covered) and put a bunch of salt and pepper on it, then take some garlic cloves and stick them in there too. Turned out way better than I could have imagined.Hope this helps!-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 11 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Colazol - 9 pills a day Prednisone 25mg entocort With vit E mixed inBack to intro/stage 1 for now.To: BTVC-SCD From: scdquery@...Date: Sun, 9 May 2010 14:40:34 -0400Subject: Re: Re: crockpot recommendation?
