Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Hi everyone, I am going through my mastercook collection of crockpot recipes and came across this. Thought I would send it to the list. I also want to apologize if I send duplicate recipes to the lists. I think I did with the Apple pie coffee cake (sorry Jennifer). I was away on the weekend and haven't had a chance to catch up on my mail to see what was posted. Take care, Diane * Exported from MasterCook * Adapting Recipes to the Crockpot Recipe By :From Rival's Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Cuisine; 1995 Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Methods Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- --See Below-- Adapting Recipes to the Crock Pot XP Since we're using crockpots more to keep from heating up the kitchen, and to make our busy lives a little easier, I though this would be of interest to everyone... ================================== Adapting Recipes to the Crock Pot From Rival's Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Cuisine; 1995 Recipes that lend themselves to Crock-Pot cooking are limitless. Almost any recipe requiring baking or simmering will work beautifully. Here are a few simple guidelines that will help you prepare your favorites in the crock-Pot: - --allow sufficient time on " Low " setting. - --Remember--liquids don't boil away as in conventional cooking. Usually you'll have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of less. Try reducing the amount of liquid in the recipe by about one-half. The exception would be soup recipes or recipes with long grain converted rice which will need the same amount of liquid or 1/4 cup liquid per 1/4 cup raw rice. - --Many preparatory steps are not necessary. Vegetables do not need to be browned or sauteed. In most cases, all ingredients can be added to the Crock-Pot in the beginning and allowed to cook all day. Exception: milk, sour cream, or cream should be added during the last hour of cooking. - --The crock-Pot cooks so gently that a few extra hours on Low need not worry you. Any recipe may be cooked on High for the first two hours to reduce cooking time, then turn to Low. If recipe says: ........ Cook in Crock-Pot: 15 to 30 minutes ........ 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours on HIgh or 4 to 8 hours Low* 30 to 40 minutes ........ 3 to 4 hours on High or 6 to 10 hours on Low* 50 min to 3 hours ........ 4 to 6 hours on High or 8 to 18 hours on Low* *Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8 hours on Low. ------------------ Source: " Posted on Friendly-Freezer Sandee Eveland <SUEDEANGEL " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving: 0 Calories (kcal); 0g Total Fat; (0% calories from fat); 0g Protein; 0g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 0mg Sodium Food Exchanges: 0 Grain(Starch); 0 Lean Meat; 0 Vegetable; 0 Fruit; 0 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates Nutr.
