Pages: 1 Question about Crock Pot Cooking       #174837 - 04/28/05 02:37 PM Edit Reply Quote Stephie Reged: 03/10/04 Posts: 2696 Loc: Vancouver, Canada Hi ya'll, I have been having a really hard time getting home from work and then having time to make and eat dinner before I need to go out again, or go to bed! I want to try some crock pot recipes (the one I want to try next is the Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken) but it says that it should cook for 6-8 hours. My problem is, I leave for work at 6:30 am and don't get home until after 5... Can I leave something cooking that long or will it overcook or dry out or something? 10.5 hours is a pretty long time... Any suggestions? Thanks guys! --Steph -------------------- ~~I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell-I know right now you can't tell~~Matchbox 20 IBS-D,pain.

So long as there's enough moisture to begin with, most things should be fine on low all day. At least, that's been my experience.

You won't dry something out in the slow cooker. It's almost impossible. Here's my fav. recipe BTW: web page I make the sauce and chop the onion the night before. Then in the morning, throw in the onion, chicken and throw the sauce on top and you're done! -------------------- Formerly HanSolo. IBS, OCD, Bipolar, PTSD times 3.

Mushrooms don't agree with me, and I'd love to try it! -------------------- "Anyone can exercise, but this kind of lethargy takes real discipline." -Garfield Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: I hate smushies...       #174959 - 04/29/05 04:36 AM Edit Reply Quote Yoda (formerly Hans) Reged: 01/22/03 Posts: 3682 Loc: Canada Personally, I hate mushrooms and never put them in. So go right ahead and make it without the smushies. It still tastes wonderful. -------------------- Formerly HanSolo. IBS, OCD, Bipolar, PTSD times 3.

However, I just bought a crock pot at my local Target that has a timer so you can set it to start at a certain time! -------------------- *********************** IBS-A, with bloating and gas as my predominant symptoms Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Thanks Han, I'll give it a try! -nt-       #175123 - 04/29/05 01:14 PM Edit Reply Quote Kree Reged: 10/08/03 Posts: 3748 Loc: Northern NY -------------------- "Anyone can exercise, but this kind of lethargy takes real discipline." -Garfield Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
