Where Do You Crock?

Saw this on my Facebook from Crockpot Girls. Thought it might be fun.

Crock Pot Girls

Love to "Crock" in our kitchens, but it is so easy to use "on the go" also! Where do you like to use your slow cooker besides your home?

Another interesting question might be: have you used it for something really odd? Like an incubator for chicks or to clean paint brushes?

The only place I have used it besides t he kitchen is the neighborhood pool for neighborhood parties. And the basement when my kitchen was getting re- done. I'm kinda boring.

Fun topic, Karen! So far I have only used mine in a house or outside on the deck - not as a chick incubator (although we did a lot of that on the farm when I was growing up - we'd bring baby chicks that were dying into the house to put into the warm oven - wait - that doesn't sound very good, does it? But it worked!).

We were going to take it with us camping but have not done so yet. I do not tend to use my crockpot a lot as I love to braise in my Le Creuset stovetop and then in the oven (in my crazy culinary mind a crockpot takes fun out of cooking for me!). I love a proper braise and a challenge. :)

Can't wait to hear what others use their crockpots for.

How fun!

I took the crock out...stashed the part with the cord in a closet

and used it to hold all my cooking utensils on the counter... :rolleyes:

I thought I was being very creative too. :huh:

Now I use it for making bone broth...for extra minerals. ;)

Well, I'm pretty boring, too. I've only used mine in my kitchen but it is handy when I have to bring already cooked food somewhere and can then plug it in and keep it hot.

I've only used it in the kitchen..but my hubby took it to work with a batch of chicken chili in it. To be honest..I need to use it more. Mostly it stays stored in the basement.

On the FB page, people are cooking in thier cars on the way to vacation. I was reading them to hub, now he wants to do that, too! I said that would be hard. Most stuff starts smelling good hours before its ready to eat! It would be torture driving for 4 hours smelling something yummy!

How are they plugging it in? Is there a crockpot with a cigarette lighter attachement somewhere? I also wonder where they place it so it doesn't burn anyone or slosh about if they go over bumps. Mine gets pretty hot-- I wouldn't want it on the passenger side floor near my legs!

We have an adapter thing so you can plug in anything you plug in the wall. The adapter plugs into the cigarette lighter. The boys can plug in a TV and an Xbox with it. I think we would put the crock pot in a cardboard box & not fill it too full. If M & Hub really want chili when they get somewhere, they will build a box that fits for it! :D

Oh my Bubba's mom! I use mine at least once a week. I used to have two but I broke my smaller one and I only have a big 6.5 QT Oval one now. I use it so much I leave it on my kitchen counter.

*envisioning myself driving down the highway in my truck with the back window open, cord coming through to plug in the crock pot that's strapped into the bed of the truck, being followed by hungry travelers wondering why the entire journey smells like chili*

Hope you don't have to drive through winding mountain roads where the bears and bobcats might get a whiff of your chili and follow you! :lol:

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
