Beef Stew

Fast foods could have been the meal of choice for many busy families through the last couple of decades. But now the slow cooked, home-prepared meals are gaining in popularity! Crock pots, with their wafting aromas and 'ready to eat' meals, entice health-aware, busy folks.



And it doesn't take super human talent, ability, or effort to make a delicious meal in a crockpot - in truth there are quite a few Slow cooker Recipies that need 5 or less ingredients! And crockpot cooking can be so simple as tossing a few ingredients into the pot before everybody leaves for the day. There is no more last minute trip to the grocer, or the endless 'what's for dinner' questions.



The crockpot - or crock-pot - is the perfect cooking appliance for a new cook. Let the slow cooker do the rest! It is quite tricky to screw up a crockpot recipe, but here some tips to make your crock pot experience perfect.



First off, ensure you buy a crockpot that has a removable crock, or liner. While this seems silly now, in the longer term you will have a slow cooker that may suit all of your needs - and all of your astonishing needs.



Rising food costs and shrinking household budgets have helped bring many mawkish foods back to the forefront.



While some say to keep the crock only half-way full, we have found it fine to keep it not more than two thirds full. This may promote more even cooking and will also help dodge excess mess when stirring or in the case of bubble-overs.



Many crockpot recipes call for some sort of meat. Some of the finest pot roasts and chicken dishes I have had have come from a crockpot! Just remember when slow cooking meat to trim off additional fat. For most impressive results, trim the maximum amount of the additional fat off the pieces of meat prior to cooking. Also, healthy crockpot recipes mean less fat, anyhow, so trim that fat!



Slow cooker recipies for Pot roast, meat stew, chicken and noodles can utilize more cost-effective cuts of meat, which taste tender and clammy after slow cooking.







Want a side dish with your stew? Try the twin cooker. It permits cooking of two different dishes at the same time. Worried about little hands reaching up to the counter? Try the 'cool touch' crock pot. These can be up to 25% cooler than other slow cookers.



It is captivating to open the lid of your crockpot through out the cooking process, but attempt to resist it. Crockpots cook reasonably evenly.



As for cooking time as directed by recipes - bear in mind that 60 minutes on high in a crockpot is the same as about 2 hours on low.



Though Slow cooker Recipies are a comparatively new invention, making hearty foods that simmer all day has been around for quite a bit. Whether you're cooking for only two people or a big family, make your own convenience food! Dig out some old recipes or find a new one, and enjoy tasty foods without the difficulty.



Opening the front door on a cold evening evening and being welcomed by the inviting smells of a beef stew or chicken noodle soup wafting from a slow cooker - ahhh - it is actually an eaterie's dream come true!
