I wouldn't go longer than 8 hours on low on the pot or 4 hours on high.After that, they start to break down a bit. So if you're going 10 hours on the brisket. Don't throw them in until 2 hours into the cooking process.Going to make a sweet & sour brisket in the crock pot for dinner tomorrow. Seems like it should take between 8-10 hours on low to cook.Question, bought a bunch of potatoes. Once rinsed, peeled, and quartered, can I just throw them on top of the brisket and let them cook there the entire time?

I just found this thread. Thank God. Don't know how I missed it. I just made a potato soup yesterday. Pretty simple recipe and it turned out well. 6 potatoes--diced. I used redskin potatoes and peeled them,2 cups diced onion.5 cups of water1 tablespoon butter4 chicken bouillon cubes1/2 cup carrots1/2 cup celeryKosher salt/pepperPut all of the above in for 6 hours. I then added the following about a half hour before serving:12 oz can evaporated milk8 oz. package of shredded cheese (I used cheddar jack cheese) until melted3 pieces cooked, crumbled bacon.I am a huge potato soup fan and I'll be making this again.How did it turn out?

It turned out pretty good. I did add the sausage about 1 1/2 links about two hours before serving. I put the milk in about 45 minutes before I was planning on serving. Even then, I found it to be a little too watery, so I put about a 1/2 cup flour in and that actually thickened it up quite nicely. My wife said it was too thick, but I tend to like my soup thicker vs watery.Oh and like skillz receipe below, I topped each of the bowls of soup with shredded cheese and added more salt accordingly.I think this is a good starting receipe, but there is a lot of tinkering that can be done with it to improve it.How did it turn out?

Maybe next time use a potato masher to get some more starch out. That should thicken it up.It turned out pretty good. I did add the sausage about 1 1/2 links about two hours before serving.

You bastards just ruined my Christmas. I saw the picture and ran down the hall to show my wife. Didn't pick up on the size of them.I haven't seen one. My SIL got that for my Mom for X-mas a couple years back. I can't lie, I was expecting the greatest invention ever and then saw the the size of the actual pot. Not worth it.So they don't make a full size crock like we all have, but x3?
Yup....that's the problem. Why does teriyaki sauce at a restaurant taste so much better than the store bought crap?You guys with all of the teriyaki recipes... what brand of glaze are you using?I haven't made a single homemade teriyaki dish yet that hasn't been disappointing.
It's crazy.The General Tso glaze that I LOVE is by Iron Chef. But Iron Chef's teriyaki glaze was a huge letdown.Yup....that's the problem.

I decided to go with an actual sauce, not a glaze.I figured it would make it a bit too salty, but then the pineapple juice helped eliminate that. I think something else could be added to offset, but not sure what yet. I might go with a little bit of maple syrup.'Raider Nation said:It's crazy.The General Tso glaze that I LOVE is by Iron Chef.

My GF got me this one and I love it.Any good recommendations on a new crock pot? Made chicken chili last night in ours. Emptied it, let it cool overnight. Went to soak it this morning and the ceramic cracked (it is over 13 years old).

Going to give this a shot tonightMade this yesterday for my woman. I'm not a fan of buffalo chicken ( ), but she loved it:4 Chicken breasts1 Large bottle of Franks1 Packet of Ranch Dressing mix4 Tablespoons butterChicken breasts and Franks go in, drizzle the Ranch packet over the chicken, cook on high 6-7 hours if frozen, or 3-4 on low if fresh. During the last hour, shred the chicken, add the butter and serve over a roll that can either sop up the sauce, or toasted.She drizzled some more ranch dressing on the bun and she loved it. Very simple.

Went with 5 big breasts instead of 4. Added about 20-25 Pickled Jalepeno rings to the mix. Will be going for 4 hours by the time I get home (5pm)... Hope it isnt overdone. EDIT:Going to give this a shot tonightMade this yesterday for my woman. I'm not a fan of buffalo chicken ( ), but she loved it:

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but what feature allows the Cuisinart to slow cook vs boil? Doesn't it just depend on how much liquid you put into the pot? Or does the size/shape of the Cuisinart somehow keep the liquid on the bottom?'Skylord said:Believe it or not but you really get what you pay for with crock pots.

Finished!
Wasn't overcooked... breasts flaked nicely. Sauce was awesome. Jalepenos added a nice touch, as did the slice of Provolone melted over the top.
Will make again.
Not a setting. Cheap cookers just don't cook well and everything ends up tasting the same.Apologies if this is a dumb question, but what feature allows the Cuisinart to slow cook vs boil?

Treat me like I am shuke.

Normally, yes. Low and slow is always best. Because I got a late start I went high for 4, then Low until ready. Probably be about 1-2 hours. You did yours the right way. Apple cider, smoke and some sea salt is my favorite. Would have done it today but the wife is feeling spicy.Treat me like I am shuke.

It adds a nice smoky flavor to the dish. Be warned though, use it sparingly because it is potent. It can be found in the BBQ sauce/marinade section of the store.What is liquid smoke? For those recipes using it, is it important?

Made this yesterday for my family of 5. Started at 9 am - by 3 pm the chicken was falling apart - left it on "warm" for the final 2 hours.The perfect Sunday football meal. Easy and very good. All 3 of my picky kids couldn't get enough of it. There were no leftovers.Thanks for posting the recipe.Don't walk, run to the store to buy the ingredients for this.Wow this is goodRight now I have Italian herb chicken in there.4 big chicken breasts and a pack of mushrooms.I mixed a small can of tomato paste w 2 small cans of diced tomatoes, garlic, onions, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.It's looking and smelling great. Will toss it with some pasta. Bingo bango

The small can of tomato paste I bought came with garlic & oregano in it.The 2 small cans of diced tomatos I bought were also flavored with garlic & oregano.I still chopped up about 3-4 cloves of garlic and threw that in.I chopped up one medium size yellow onion and threw that in.One pack of sliced regular mushrooms.Pinch of basil, salt & pepper.Came out really good and the chicken was not dried out.Approximate amount of: garlic, onions, oregano, basil, salt and pepper?Made this yesterday for my family of 5.

This seems like it would be great.Anyone ever throw pasta into the crockpot with something like this? Seems like it should be able to cook it if it is liquidy enough, just not sure on how long.Would be great to come home after work, dump in a box of penne, let it cook for another 15-30 mins or whatever, and it be a full meal already done.The small can of tomato paste I bought came with garlic & oregano in it.The 2 small cans of diced tomatos I bought were also flavored with garlic & oregano.I still chopped up about 3-4 cloves of garlic and threw that in.I chopped up one medium size yellow onion and threw that in.One pack of sliced regular mushrooms.Pinch of basil, salt & pepper.Came out really good and the chicken was not dried out.Approximate amount of: garlic, onions, oregano, basil, salt and pepper?Made this yesterday for my family of 5.
