Crimsonmistymemory Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 In under half an hour, Janie can make a succulent rump roast out of a pair of dirty socks cooked in a tea kettle at a cost of a buck forty-nine! She may need spreadsheets and graphs to chart out all the logistics but she can get it done! Truth. Well she must have Cajun bloodline somewhere. Most Cajuns' could cook a suitcase or a pair of shoes that could be good enough to serve in a 5 star establishment. I have mentioned previously in this thread that one of the highest honors a chef can have is to beable to take the cheapest of the cheap ingredients and make a dish that would knock ones socks off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, MommaBlaze is an excellent cook in her own right. But B.D.Blaze can use the bare minimum of ingredients + make it look effortless and turn out a prime time meal. Before every visit he asks me what I'd like him to cook...I'm 43 and I still have a meal request list similar to when I was a college kid home for the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I had to go in Wal-Mart this morning. I tried to get out of there as fast as I could. Anyway, I saw they had Hamilton Beach five quart programmable Slow Cookers for under thirty dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 They only had two left. Must be a big seller at that price. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonmistymemory Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It sounds like a good deal I think I paid like $49 on sale for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Maybe I ought to go back and get it tomorrow. I hate buying anything like that in Wal-Mart because it's been my experience in the store out here that it has a tendency to sell products that are poorly manufactured.

You are right about Target having better quality stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about Target having better quality stuff.Well, buying the HB slow cooker from Wal Mart, should be fine since that brand itself is high-quality. You can't beat that price! As long as it looks like the box has never been opened, I would buy it. I know you didn't want one so large but you can do a lot with leftovers and get a few extra meals out of one. I think most slow cookers come in the 6-qt size and it might be difficult to find a smaller one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 We are having a bit of wind here today and it is affecting my internet speed, which is to say it's slower than normal, if that can be believed. Be that as it may, since the weather is turning sharply cooler here, I thought to use my Dutch oven to cook up a good chicken meal on Monday. My computer won't load the recipe sites, or they are designed for high speed and certainly not dial up users. I'd like to make the first recipe that was given here, but that's an outdoor grill recipe. If anyone can bring here some good chicken Dutch oven recipes to make in an oven, I would appreciate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 I have a Pork Roast in the freezer and some pork steaks too. They are from a farmer who raises pigs for slaughter. I hate to use them though. I have noticed that they often have a funny taste that I don't like at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Lorraine have you bought the HB slow cooker? I bought mine a few days back and gave it a test run last night. I made a stew in it, on high. It. Was. Amazing. Seriously, amazing. This changes my outlook on slow cookers. I'm so glad I ditched my Crock Pot and got the 6-qt Hamilton-Beach number. Now that the weather has gotten a lot cooler and fall is fast approaching, I'm planning on using it once a week I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roasted garlic, sautéed onions, bacon frying, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip cookies... IDK, these are good smells. Are you boiling cabbage leaves and frying fish heads or something?! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
