OnTheBrink Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 You're all certifiable. :lol: And, the ONLY legitimate crock pot version is the HBSOG*, which enables the cook to take their crock to a potluck without sloshing the contents all over the car floor, and features a spoon rest on the lid. If you don't have that, you really can't call yourself a crock potter. All other pots have been created committees of men who don't even believe in crock pottery, have never cooked with one, or truly not committed to the art of crock pottery.

Tea Time Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Honestly! After 10 pages, I can't believe no one brought this up... this very important topic. Naturally, with my board name, I am obligated. No one should use their Crock Pot unless they use uh-hum... Crock Pot Liners. They are not just for warming weiners, either.

pbjmeyer Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks Ladies for the laughs. I haven't laughed out loud like this in a while. BTW- the only way to crock-pot is with a removable crock. I accept no other reality. After all, I had ALWAYS had a one-piece unit. Change is hard. But when it began to leak, it was time to take the plunge. I now have one with a removable cooking bowl. Why did I wait? It is so so so much easier to clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brehon Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Oh, my. . .I've been laughing so hard, my dh now officially thinks I'm certifiable. And for the official record -- both dh and I use the Crock Pot. He will occasionally wear his kilt -- Traditionally, of course -- and preferably with a dram of single malt in his hand.:drool5::001_wub: I have yet to see him do both at the same time, however. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I just can't imagine how anyone can crock it without occasionally using cream of whatever soups. I just never would have thought of it! I have not once put a cream of whatever soup in a crock pot. I put chicken broth in there. But that doesn't count, huh? Okay, I'm gonna go check out this crock pot group (btw, I don't have a clue what brand crock pot I have, but i have always called it that so I'm gonna keep doing so...hmpft).

kalanamak Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 More of a cult, really... It is a minor and temporary cult, unlike The Cult of the Pressure Cooker, which was born at least 10 years ago on USENET and has more proponents, world-wide, than any slow-dang-pot-you-could-do-in-the-oven-just-fine.

JennC Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 So if I said I believe that the base, removable crock, and lid are each separate items that function together to meet a common goal, rather than believing that they are each different expressions of a single object ...would you all throw tomatoes at me? I do not take this question lightly. In our family we NEVER. never. waste tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennC Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Would it be heresy to say that I think there is much truth and usefulness in all methods of cookery, even though I believe Crock Potting to be superior? For example, many methods of cooking use the very same ingredient preparation techniques as Crock Potting and I can't help but think that they've at least got that part right, even if they then choose to put the ingredients in an oven, or even a microwave. First of all, would you want your children eating at the home of one these "people"? Don't you know what it could do to their long term health? Don't you care? Gasping! A microwave? The very fast track to F_t C_mp? And second of all, it not just F_t C_mp. What about their food spinning backwards? Third of all, What if your daughters see other people doing this and begins to think that it is just fine? Next thing you will coming to your daughter's house for supper and how will you sit through THAT meal? How will you protect your grandchildren?

rowan25 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Man. You are NOT kidding. There is baaaaaaaad personality mojo at Chez Crazy today. One of the 4 year olds broke a window in their bedroom earlier. (we will ignore, for the moment, that the 8 year old claims he was "just walking by" - not possible - and "hit it with his elbow" - not unless his elbow was about a foot above his head, he didn't...) I just answered a business call (thankfully, another homeschooler) and, in the midst of that, found him IN. MY. DRYER! With the other 4 year old standing lookout. Luckily, I, too, have a small, round Crock, which is perfect for mulled wine. Which I think may be necessary, if the children are not going to be tied up in the closet. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Mulled wine sounds good about now. I may need to finish this thread!!! I have had more fun reading this than I have had in the past week!!!!! Thank you all so much for reminding me how to laugh. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan25 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 ...And along those lines, we should all strive to be a little more open minded and realize that crock pots, pressure cookers, and rice steamers can actually coexist quite peacefully: Fagor 3-in-1 Electric Multi-Cooker; pressure cooker, slow cooker and rice cooker :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
