I recommend looking on Pinterest for crockpot recipes. They have so many and I've been using different ones from there lately. Whatever recipe you find though will give you exact instructions with cooking times on high or low. For the most part I've noticed most recipes cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Not always the case though.12els30 wrote: ↑06 Sep 2016, 11:18 I love the idea of using my crockpot. But I have so little experience using one. How do I know if I need it on low, medium, or high? And what all can you even put in a crockpot? Some of the best things my Ma cooks is in her crockpot. As of now I don't think I inherited that gene.

I let mine cook all the time when I'm not home depending on the recipe and how long it takes to cook I've never had a problem with mine now I have had the issue where recipe called for 4 hours on low and I was gone for 8 hours but even then no damage came to my home just the contents of the crockpot all the broth evaporated and the veggies and meat were like jerky but it never got hot enough to burn anything down they heat to a certain heat high or low and maintain it so they don't get nearly as hot as say an oven that's why they need so long to cook and it's well worth it. I also bake stuffed cakes and bread in mine those I don't leave unattended. I hope this helped.Booky_BettyC wrote: ↑26 Aug 2016, 23:21 I've always wanted a crockpot but have never gotten around to buying one just yet. It would definitely be used a lot. I know a lot of people use them when they are not home though. I don't think I could ever bring myself to leave an appliance like that on for hours unsupervised. How many people here use it when they are not home? Are they really that safe?

I usually prep everything the night before so all i have to do in the morning is dump it in and hit "on". And then when I come home from work, my house smells amazing and I have dinner all ready to go! I work a LOT and have very little time at home, so not having to worry about cooking at the end of a long day is such a relief.Blue Eyed Reader wrote: ↑26 Dec 2017, 08:18 I love to use my crockpot one hundred percent! However, I feel like I can't use it absolutely all the time. I use mine in phases if that makes sense. There are just some things that taste better getting freshly made right there in front of you. Plus, there are times where I am up way too early in the morning, and I do not have the right motivational mindset to put something in it for the day.
Does that happen to anyone else?

Yes! And now they have those crock pot liners so you don't even have to wash the crockpot!Blue Eyed Reader wrote: ↑29 Jan 2018, 07:44 I think the other half of that motivation comes from washing dishes knowing I am going to have a bunch to wash afterwards. Hate. It.

One easy dish not mentioned on here is what my parents used to call "boiled dinner". It's essentially corned beef with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
Super simple, put the raw veggies on the bottom. Put a corned beef fat side up on top. Add about 1 cup of water. Heat on low for 8 hrs.
The saltiness of the corned beef makes everything taste amazing!
