Like any other kind of cooking it is only as bland as the recipe you use.Date: 12/6/2008 11:24:32 PM

Thanks for the replies so far. I read both Deco''s slow cooker thread and the crock pot recipe thread again so I''m debating...
Strm, which one are you looking into now? Linen''s and Things is going out of business and they have the 6 qt Rival premium versaware for 40% off. But I''m wondering if we''ll even LIKE crockpot cooking. Mara mentioned so much of the stuff comes out bland, and if it''s not bland it seems to require a lot of creamy soups thrown in. But I love the idea of slow cooking, especially chicken....
Yes you can. I did buy a Rival crock pot, it does a great job. I found that tweaking the recipes to your liking helps a lot. But will be honest and say, I am so not into it now. It was a phase for us.....or should I say me. Do you want mine???Date: 12/6/2008 11:26:39 PM

Also, I have a le creuset - could I just use that for slow cooking in the oven for a lot of crock pot recipes?
I do too and it especially nice if you want something when you come home. I chop up some carrots, celery, potatoes and use V8 juice and throw in a rump roast and it is perfect!!! I haven''t tried it for other recipes but that is super fast and easy one. I only have a $20 crockpot that is little since it is just hubby and I and we don''t cook many other things in it as I find it easier to cook certain items in a stock pot better.Date: 12/7/2008 2:57:13 PM

i use mine too. especially since i started working a couple afternoons a week and we don''t get home until after 6:00pm. if dinner wasn''t already cooking I''d be so tempted to drive through tacobell and be done with it. finding the right recipes is key.
neat, after your boys are here you might find you''ll use it more b/c it''s such a time saver.
