Help with Chicken & crock pot
#21
You can knock off a couple hours of cooking time in the crock pot by pre heating the crock and lid with boiling water before adding the food. For roasting meats in a crock pot, make big aluminium foil balls and layer the bottom of the pot. Put your meat on top of the balls. I spray the balls with Pam to keep the meat from sticking to them. This keeps the meat out of the juices.

Just another way if fixing Stove Top.I cooked onion & celery in a bit of butter or broth, added a dash of sage & maybe chopped giblets.....then stirred into ST.Very tasty.

The first month in the RV, I realized that I needed a roaster oven. Just keep it in the basement, set it up under the awning when in use and I'm a happy camper! Love being on the road, but those tiny little ovens are a joke - have even considered tearing it out and putting in an apartment size range, but that's for another time at this point. I use the roaster for anything that the crock pot doesn't look like it's capable of handling, have even baked pies in it.

Problem solved. We just got back from Walmart. They have a toaster oven (GE) with built in rotisserie. It says you can even bake a 12 inch pizza. Only $49. We were going to get (next year) one of those micro/convection ovens. This is more in my price range. Will test it later baking muffins. I'll buy another chicken & try it out on Sunday. Hey it's Walmart, can always return it.

I would be hesitant to stuff the cavity but besides that it would work. Have you also considered those plug in skillets with a lid like Rival. In the summer I put that out side and put to fryers in it for about 2 hours. Yummmm! Keeps my whole house from getting hot because I am not running the ovens. Those together are my mainstay when camping with 13.

I would put some celery and carrots and a couple of potatoes in there so the chicken is sitting on something besides the crockpot bottom. it should make its own juice and take on the flavor of what it is cooked with. I was looking for a lip smacking smilie, but couldn't find one to add to this. Darn! Jan
