I like to use it to melt chocolate for Christmas candy. I fill the slow cooker about 1/2 way with water and then put wide mouth mason jars in with the various chocolates that I want to melt. Then put it on low and use it once melted, it is great on pretzels and strawberries too! Plus it stays melty for a long time without having to keep melting it in the microwave or on the stove.

The sweetened condensed caramel sure brought back some memories. I started making it close to 30 years ago. The original purpose was to use it to make a pie. You will need a graham cracker pie crust, to that add 1 can of the caramel. Top it with an 8 ounce (more if you want) container of thawed Cool Whip. Can sprinkle with nuts, chocolate chips or whatever you like or leave it plain. My mom absolutely loved this pie and requested it frequently. She passed 24 years ago and I still miss making it for her.

Thank you, everyone for your prayers in the last video. My hubby isn't one who shows emotions that much and this has really hurt him. He hasn't shown it, but I can tell it's bothered him.

I make baked potatoes and mashed potatoes in my crockpot. The mashed potatoes you can make start to finish in your crockpot. Peel and leave whole. Cover with water. Cook on either high or low until done. Mash right in the crockpot. For baked potatoes just wrap them in foil and turn on the crockpot. Warm potatoes by dinner time!

I’m 77- long before slow cookers, my mother made caramel from condensed milk for desert. We cooked it on the stove. After it was cooked and cooled, we opened both ends of the can and pushed it out much like you do with canned cranberry sauce. Maybe ours was thicker? To serve we sliced it with a knife dipped in hot water and topped the slices with homemade whipped cream

I live in Australia and recall, when I was a junior nurse, visiting the country home of a Dr on staff. He and his wife were wild life carers, and their crockpot was used (on low heat) to raise premature joeys and possums

Here’s my extraordinary use for my slow cooker….because I live in the SOUTH (central Arkansas), it gets SO hot and humid during the summer months. I plug my slow cooker in either in the garage, in the sunroom, or on my front porch and avoid a nasty fight between my cooker and my air conditioner. It’s just more economical to cook in an area you’re not trying to cool off when you have plug ins in these areas outside the house. And the cornbread cooking in the slow cooker? Nope! Cornbread needs to hit that hot skillet (with melted bacon grease already sizzling in it) and go directly into a super hot over. Quick cooking makes for delicious cornbread with crusty golden crusts all he way around. Thanks for a great video!

My Sicilian grandmother taught me how to make her spaghetti sauce. Since I live in Texas and it's hot in the summer, I decided I didn't want to stand over the stove to make the sauce. Now, I just throw the ingredients in my smaller crock pot and simmer for about an hour on high. I have one vegetarian in the family, so once it's cooked, I separate the sauce for her, and add the cooked meat to the crock for those of us who eat meat. I let it heat through and cook my pasta, and dinner is ready.

I have a dedicated crock pot I found at a yard sale for $5 to ice-tie dye fabric. Easy, fast and less mess.

Back in the old days, my mom, her sisters and their mother (grandma) would put the sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan of water and cook it on low on the stove for hours. They would all pray the can wouldn’t explode which was a big possibility. My Aunt Bev had it happen. So whichever lady was able to accomplish getting caramel had bragging rights. LOL I grew up in a family of fantastic cooks. The Christmas food and desserts were just out of this world. I miss those days. I’ll be 61 in a few days.

I'll make stonefruit spread in my slow cooker. Wash the fruit, cut the fruit in half and remove the pit/stone, chuck into the slow cooker. Fill it as much as it'll hold. Add a cup of sweetener (we use cane sugar, because I can't use any of the artificial sweeteners). Cover and set on low. After a few hours, stir it a bit. After a few more hours (or next morning), take a stick blender to it. Jar up the goop, can it if you're a canner, or seal the jar as well as you can and tuck it in the fridge. We could get 5-6 jars out of it, which lasted a couple of months in PB&Js for the boy and breakfast toast spread for my mother-in-law.

Very interesting! I'll definitely try the shrimp boil 🙂 I make boiled peanuts in my slow cooker. Buy a 2-lb bag of natural, such as Hampton Farms, unroasted peanuts in the shell. Rinse them well in a dishpan. Drain the peanuts and place them in the slow cooker. Add a cup of salt, preferably Kosher, and whatever seasonings you like, such as Cajun, and cover with water. Turn slow cooker to high and boil the peanuts for minimum of 12 - 18 hours (overnight). Inexpensive and so good for parties.

Crockpot turkey: 1 whole turkey, 3 quartered onions, 2 packets of onions soup mix to coat entire turkey, 2 sticks butter. Cook on high for 6 hrs. Optional: carrots, celery. Blend drippings with an immersion blender for gravy. And yes, there is a crockpot that will fit a regular sized turkey ;) ..... Oh, don't make this if you're going for looks. Although I did try roasted a turkey once and placed it in the crockpot to take to work (added 2 sticks of butter to keep it from sticking). Turned out to be the best so far and kept the beautiful brown roasted color.

My biggest cheat is Chocolate Candy in the slow cooker. just dump your chocolate in there on low and stir occasionally. then dump in all your additives - peanuts, pretzel pieces, coconut shreds, craisins, etc. It seems to give you enough time to get it all scooped out, even with ADHD side-tracked brain, before it hardens and can't be plopped anymore. And, another side note ... If it does set before you get to it, I just put it in the freezer in small pieces and then add those pieces to other baked items ... banana bread, etc.

I make bread pudding. Put a little water in the crockpot. Set a pan of bread pudding down in the pot and let it steam for an hour. Comes out great. I also make Boston Brown Bread in cans. Fill the can half-way with batter, cover the can with foil, set down in crockpot that has water in the bottom and steam for an hour. Water should already be hot and steaming when you put these in. Also, I adjust the caramel consistency by the amount of time it cooks. Less time will give you a pourable caramel sauce, more time will give you a caramel candy you can cut into cubes. Somewhere in the middle will make a caramel spread.

In the 70's we'd boil the sweetened cond milk on the stove top..we would bake a regular pie shell then after caramel cooled a bit we'd line the pie shell with fresh banana slices top with a thin layer of whipped topping then caramel and repeat layers then top with whipped topping.. It was a special family treat!!!

A crockpot is perfect for melting and straining beeswax after harvesting your honey. Line the crockpot with a turkey roasting bag, then 4 layers of cheese cloth (with a large overhang). Add several inches of water and the wax. Put the lid on and bring the overhanging edges of the cheesecloth up on top (to prevent the water from siphoning out). Turn it on, high or low depending on how long you want it to take. When the wax is melted, turn the crockpot off and lift the cheesecloth out by its edges and hang above the crockpot to drain. I attach it to a cabinet handle. As the wax cools, it solidifies on top of the water and you end up with a lovely disk of clean wax. Throw the cheesecloth and contents away along with the turkey bag, leaving no mess to clean up. 🙂

@@susanmcnabb2551 it’s more of a technique than a recipe. Put a couple tablespoons of butter in the crockpot. You don’t need much, and it won’t burn because the temperature is low; you can substitute olive oil or your preferred oil if you like. Fill the crock right to the top with sliced or chopped onions and add a big pinch of salt; the onions will shrink, of course, so it’s OK to fill the crock up. Set it on low and let it go from early morning. It takes my crockpot 12-14 hours. Check it once in awhile to see how it’s progressing, preferably without taking the lid off. Once you get the timing down you can do it overnight if you like. I know you can use an instant pot, too, but I’ve not done that yet.

Someone got me a 3 well crockpot one year for a gift. For birthday parties I'll fill one well with hot dogs and one with hot dog chili and then a dip in the 3rd one. Or for just a lazy graze and go weekend, I'll make 3 dips and put one in each well. Our favorites are jalapeno popper dip, buffalo chicken dip & spinach dip. Another great option for it is to put 3 sides in that one and then do a main in my normal crockpot & then you can have a hot & ready meal for everyone to be able to eat whenever it suits them!

I am older with back and knee problems and I can't stand very long , even 5 minutes is hard for me so being able to make the play-doh in the crock pot would be easier for me.

I'm glad to have the recipe and will share it with others who have mobility issues. Play-doh, like everything else has gotten ridiculously priced, why buy what you can make cheaper.

I thought the same when ppl say " dump n go like really " dump " sounds pretty gross.

This reminded me of a trick that I've done a few times. Try using those corn muffin mixes to make a cobbler. I know it sounds weird, but it's good. If I remember correctly, the directions on the package say to use one egg and a third a cup of milk? I omitted the egg and increased the milk to the next measurement (which I think is half a cup, unless I'm mistaken on the measurement in the directions), and I added half a teaspoon of baking powder. So to put it plainly, I dumped a can of pears into the crockpot, stirred a box of corn muffin mix with half a teaspoon of baking powder and half a cup (two thirds maybe?) of milk, then poured the batter over the pears and cooked that until the batter wasn't raw.

That dulce de leche in the Crockpot is really a budget tip as well.

And you can get condensed milk for even cheaper at Aldi or in the store brand.

Fabulous video. I did not know you could create caramel in a SC. Thank you for the video.

In the summer, I “roast” chicken (especially for salads) in the slow cooker. Has to be 4 lbs or less to get the internal temperature to the right level. The recipe I have is to not use the wire rack but set the chicken on a bed of crumpled foil balls (they collect the fat, burn it, evaporate and flavor the meat). Season as you like. Cook 2-3 hrs depending on your cooker. Skin will be unappealing but just remove it. (First time viewer so sorry if this is old to you)

Being the only cook for Christmas dinner, and having a very small kitchen, I prepared two vegetables ahead and put them into two slow cookers (on"warm"). Before that I roasted the meat and made stuffing, and put them into a large slow cooker on "warm" . With these all off the stove, out of the oven & out of the way, I had the space to mash the pototoes I'd cooked, and then I made the homemade gravy from the juices in the roasting pan. I cut up the meat & put the gravy in a bowl. It is the only way I can do it all and keep it warm. It all was delicious. My family contributes things that don't require cooking in my kitchen since it's a one person room. Slow cookers save the day.
