Crockpots I

So, a crockpot is something every 21st century lady needs in her arsenal (and men, the ones who cook!) It's about as simple as boiling water. You add the meat, ribs, pork, stew, etc. You then can add carrots, onions, potatoes, etc. Then  half a bottle of salad dressing, salt and pepper, BBQ sauce, or a large can of tomato sauce and broth. Then set either high (4 hours) or low (8hours). My new crockpot has 4, 6, 8, 10, or warm. After you set, you forget! It'll be something fabulous  when that time is up! My new crockpot also automatically turns to warm once the set time is finished, so it's just darn awesome. Today I took a lean beef, poured on some balsamic dressing, a little salt, and 4 hours. Then I added a cup of water and some diced potatoes. Set it & forget it. =) I also set some long cooking brown rice in about an hour or so out, and I had rice ready with dinner was! I just love crockpots.
