Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 This is for Sharon in regards to her questions... So sorry I didn't get to this until now. I do digest versions so I am not always Johnny on the spot here. I do hope your stew came out good. [maybe I will read about it in the next digest] Question #1: *First- I think this is for a much larger crockpot than I have! lol It is for about a 5qt wouldn't you say? ~ Probably. I just have an old Rival brand crock-pot my Grams gave me as a hand-me-down. I think it is about a 5 quart cooker. With crockin' I always put in the " required " [my requirements here*lol*] ingredients~ like the seasonings, sauces, onions, garlic, potatoes, and in this case meatballs, before I add stuff like the carrots and other " filler " veggies. Maybe next time you could prioritize your ingredients a bit so you get the stuff all in there. You could also keep the meatballs out and add them in later on if you want right before serving. Question #2: *For the liquids- can you please tell us what size can the tomato puree is meant to be? ~ Sorry about that. I use a 14.5 oz. can. Question #3: *For the slices of celery- should they have been about the size of the carrot pieces? I did small pieces like I would for soup- but afterwards wondered if it should have been bigger. ~ Small or big is your choice...just so long as they get in there okay. Like today I am making a crock-pot stew and I cut mine in little half-moon shaped slices, but some of the stalks were big so I cut those in half so they would cook up nice down in the juices. [i'll post this recipe soon if I like it~ I just created it~ smells yum] Anyway, I hope my answers were helpful even though they are way too late. You probably already know this, but crock-pottin' is a very forgiving cooking method. Whatever gets it done usually works just fine; I've had very few crock-flops. ~ PT ~ You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world. ~ William Hazlitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
