That's the only one so far. I just made a shopping list - I was dreaming about the Kielbasa and Potatoes! Yummy I used to have one years ago, when I was in the UK and loved it. I was single back then, so I'd make a pot, eat some and freeze the rest. It's nice that the prep time is so quick- with two little boys; I prefer to spend time with them. I'm also trying to cut back on the amount of meals we eat out.

Weezie, I love cornbeef but I usually just simmer mine in a large pot for several hours depending on the size. About an hour before it's done I add the carrots, about 15 minutes later the potatoes, and then add the cabbage about 15 minutes before it's done! It's wonderful served with rye bread and butter and horseradish on the side. Then, IF there's enough left over (the trick is to make sure you buy a big enough piece of corned beef ) I make Reuben sandwiches the next day.

Actually, Weezie, I do buy some of the smaller ones just for making Rueben sandwiches. I get them around St. Patrick's Day when they are on sale, then I freeze them!

Which cut do you buy? I really like the 'Brisket' the best! I bought the 'Round' (most expensive) once and it was horrible, with hardly any fat I found it tasteless and dry. I don't like the 'end' cut either, but sometimes buy a small piece to use for corn beef hash! I will cook the small ones in my Crock-Pot since I won't be opening the lid to add vegetables.

I don't think so..
I know what you are thinkin' for the pressure cooker top..

The one I have flaps as the steam builds up...
it just flaps, flap, flap..lets' out the steam
then rebuilds up and flaps again...
but not the twist one that lets out steam...

Same here Comfrey, and my mother swears you cannot cook dry beans in them. I like to take my roast pork or beef and cook them in my crock. I place them in a cooking back with my seasonings, and then I make foil balls and put in the bottom of the crock then add a lil water. Put the roast bag and all in there. A few hours later tender roast, best of all no clean up. Toss your foil balls and dry out the crock. So simple. I usually take the drippings from the bag and make gravy with them. It always has a different flavor depending on what spice or rub I use.

Guess what is gonna be for dinner tomorrow night! lol

Dried beans in a crockpot?? OK, I'm getting happy...
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE lima beans cooked down to a thick stew and then I put some in a bowl, add S&P and butter and chopped green onions........My comfort food of choice.
Problem: Once in awhile I forget the beans and scorch them. Using a pan, you really hafta watch the water and add more as the beans cook down.
So, hmmmmmm..... do the beans in a crockpot...
I'm gonna look at crockpots tomorrow !

* * * *

I tried everything they suggested on the bag..

I never baked them though...
*mine were red kidney beans, you do those in the oven after doing the other things too*

They eventually were good, when I made enough chili to eat for like 4 different meal times..
but that first meal was always hard..

Maybe someday I will get brave again and try them...

*and it's getting chili season, but I think I will still opt out for the cans still....
insert picture of chicken gremalin here!!*

Sorry it took me so long to get back on this post. I made a type o, it is cooking bag not back.

I buy the McCormicks seasonings that come with the cooking bag in the package. They are usually used in the oven. First I make balls out of aluminum foil about the size of baby fist, or you can also use a glass lid turned up side down in the crock pot if you have one that fits in side of it. Pour about an inch of water in the bottom of the crock, and place your meat with season and veggies if you want in to the bag - yes the oven bag, seal it and put it in the crock pot, turn it on and leave it be for a few hours. If I use foil balls instead of the lid I make enough to keep the bag off of the bottom of the crock pot to avoid putting the food directly on the surface. In essence what you are doing is creating a rack of sorts for your crock pot. These come out tasting wonderful nice tender meat, the veggies usually stay crisp which I prefer as it is healthier that way. I rarely use the seasoning on what meat it is suggested for my favorite is the chicken seasoning on a pork roast,the drippings make the best gravy. I hope these are a bit more detailed instructions.

I just made my first real meal in my crock pot. chicken and dumplings. very easy to make! I am very proud of myself, I usually go the easy way out and microwave all my meals so this was good for me to do.
