The Crock Pot

IF you are staying in America for any length of time, you are most likely going to enjoy having a crock pot.  It is a large pot that you plug in and put your food in, and when you get home that evening you meal is ready.  It is a convenience that most American homes have.

I will show you a couple different kinds and also post some links to some great recipes for the crock pot.


This is an old style crock pot.  They have come a long way.  Be sure to get one where the crock or inner bowl lifts out.  These old ones are really hard to clean, you can not get the cord wet and it doesn't come off.

This is one of the newer ones.  Imagine coming home to smell your meal already done and ready for you to just dig in!!!


This one is a bit extravagant!  I think of myself as being simple and not needing anything so grand.  

This is more like the one that I own.  Has an "off", "low", "high" setting.  Just what I need!

I have a friend that uses these crock pot bags.


Open the bag, place it into the crock pot and fold it over the outside.  Put your food in, turn it on and put the lid on.



Come home and eat!!!


Then, put a twist tie around the top and put it in the refrigerator.  It is one of the easiest ways to cook.

I just posted on facebook and asked my friends to post some recipes for me to post here for you.  IF you don't know what these items are, then write them down and have someone at the grocery store help you find the items.

---RECIPES---

One Pork Loin Roast
1 Jar of Picante Sauce (any kind)
Put roast in crock pot. Pour sauce over it and cook on high all day.  Makes a lot.  You can freeze it and use it later for salads, tacos, chips,...

1/2 pound of baby carrots
2 chicken breast or 4 chicken thighs
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Clean your carrots and potatoes and put them in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the chicken. Combine the soup and seasonings together and pour over the top.
Cook for 4 to 6 hours.
