Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 A crockpot is a sort of electric slow cooker. It looks like a soup pot, and you plug it in on your counter top, add the ingredients, turn it on, and it cooks all day on a very low setting. They are great for making soups, stews, and cooking dried beans. They are wonderful for days when you don't have time to be home to fix dinner, but want something ready to eat when you do arrive back home at dinner time. Here is a link with some pictures: http://www.thekitchencart.com/crockpots.asp?src=google13~ Turbinado sugar, or sugar in the raw, is just a less processed form of sugar. I prefer the flavor. You can usually find it in bulk bins at healthfood stores or markets. " Turbinado sugar is rawsugar that has been steam-cleaned. The coarse turbinado crystals are blond colored and have a delicate molasses flavor.

I just put some in this dish to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. If you would prefer to cook sugar-free, you can add some carrots to the soup. ~ PT ~ Don't argue with a fool.
