apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i'd first cook pork for tamales. after that...everything!

I've been thinking about one of these—I think it would come in really handy!! For pulled pork, bolognese, chili...I did a pulled pork in the oven recently and it just seemed wasteful to use that much gas...

Good old Beef Pot Roast.

Well I think the orange souffle mentioned in the post immediately below this one is a great start! Then I'd branch into chilis, stews, overnight oatmeal, oh the list goes on....

round steak with the trimmings :)

Want!

I'd try to make some bbq pork.

..and I would make carnitas. Viva pig!

I'd make braised pork belly with star anise, five spice powder, chestnuts and shitake mushrooms.

Corn beef and cabbage. Delicious, Delicious!

Mediterranean chicken. Yum!

I'd prepare my 'famous' Texas Mexican Chili!

Brisket!

I would love to cook chili or chicken dishes. I just add cut up veges and cut up chicken and it tastes so fine - thank you

I'd break mine in by making a recipe I know - a good ol' beef pot roast. After I've gotten the hang of the contraption, I'd branch out and start cooking those wacky things I never thought of making before ... like desserts!

So many things! First I'd make "Crockpot Venison" with mushrooms, onions, and root vegetables (my dad would be so proud!), then I'd use it just as a dutch oven to make chicken with 40 cloves of garlic (which will either make me the most or least popular apartment-dweller in my building), and then on to steel-cut oatmeal! Yes!

I'd love this for making vegetable stock, soups, and oats.

I'd make my Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Some sort of chicken dish, not sure what yet!

Pulled pork and oatmeal, but not at the same time.

Monday's corn beef and cabbage.

Beef stew!

pernil

I would love to fix a Roaster Chicken with carrots and celery.

I would make stuffed cabbage rolls!!!

I'd love to try crock for the first time. That's right... crocodile. Crock for the crock pot.

Irish Beef Stew with Guinness :)

quinoa veggie stew

Corned beef and cabbage--Happy St. Patty's Day!

Beef stew!

I'd start out by making a New England Boiled dinner,
then I'd make a big pot of fire-breathing chili!

First thing I would make is one of my grandmothers' recipes. Smothered Pork Chops(pork chops,cream of mushroom,mushrooms,onions,peas) and put it over some seasoned white rice. Next thing on my list would have to be a Blueberry dump cake ! Yum :)

BBQ pulled pork. This could do the trick.

Lasagna Soup!!! MmmmMMMmmm

Beef stew. Because it looks like winter's never going to end.

YUM. I think the 1st thing to make would be a garlic-studded Pot Roast.

Oh wow this product looks great. I would make corned beef and cabbage, not just because St. Patty's day is coming up but because I've been craving it for months and have never made it before.

mmmm all day simmering spaghetti sauce...

Mmm...6 qts of yummy beans for years of meals. I have a big, empty freezer.

Wow. I need this. A lot.
I would make a plethora of Vegetarian One-pot meals for my amazing girlfriend; stews, chilis, deserts - the possibilties are endless, what an open question.

I'd cook lamb stew. And soups. And chili.

Not at the same time of course. :)

Beef Stroganoff!

I have a roast defrosting in the fridge right now! Then I'd make holubsti, ukranian stuffed cabbage rolls too!

this is meant to be - I was just discussing crockpots with DH this week. I want to try the souffle from Faith's post from earlier today and then some of that overnight oatmeal!

My son just got married and this would be a great addition to their kitchen.

I would cook up a great big pot of italian meatballs

mom's brisket!

Even though I've never won one of these giveaways a girl can continue to dream...I would love this crockpot so I can "cook" meat for my husband without really having to learn how to cook meat!

Chili

sweet and sour country style ribs....yummy

pork shoulder aka a pernil. Or I'd like to say goodbye to winter by making a lamb curry!

I'd love to cook some steel cut oatmeal. Maybe slice and apple or two and let it simmer away with the oatmeal so that, in the end, you get deliciously soft apple oatmeal. The perfect way to spend a morning!

I'd make some chicken paprika

Either Pot Roast or pulled bbq pork! Yum!

country style ribs slow cooked all day in barbeque sauce

I would make my husbands famous homemade queso. It is the best!!!! The key is letting it cook in the Crock Pot for 2 hrs before eating.

vegetarian chili

I have a great recipe for beef burgundy stew that would be perfect for this.

lamb shanks with white beans

Pork Roast with veggies

my favorite pork roast and red potatoes

Either pork loin with a sweet glaze and veggies or a Beef Pot Roast for my mom.

I would make stewed chicken with lemon caper cream sauce.

I would test this crockpot out with beef short ribs and carrots... mmm!

mmmmm... Salsa chicken, or chicken tortilla soup, or pot roast... so many yummy things!

Pulled Pork with homemade Dinosaur BBQ sauce - YUM!

I like to cook stew in a crock pot

orange souffle, clearly!

I'd like to do one of those all-day kinda stews...

chicken in green sauce!

Carnitas!

BBQ chicken

Ooh, I would do a beef short ribs and root vegetables dish, with a sweet and spicy maple glaze.

Pulled pork and plenty of fall-apart meaty things for the significant other, who loves his meat.

Then, for my own amusement, I'd try to come up with a suitable crock pot dessert!

I've always been a little jealous of my neighbor's crock-pot. I think I would try to make a beef bourguignonne in it and have them over for dinner.

my recipe for crock-pot posole. Not too traditional, but very tasty.

I would love to cook corn beef and cabbage in this crockpot

I'd love this for making soups or stews!

I would make a delicious beef stew for the last cold day of winter.

A big ol' boston butt.

If I were the lucky winner, the first thing I'd make would be an old-school (duck, sausage and lardons) cassoulet. I always thought it a perfect dish for a crock pot.. but since this also works as a dutch oven, I could try it both ways! Oh, the possibilities!

pork for chili verde... oh, how I wish I were in the southwest instead of snowy New England.

Chinese barbecued pork

jangjorim -- flank steak braised in a soy sauce marinade.

I've been craving slow cooked meatballs for a year. That would be first. Definitely

My mom's recipe for slow cooked pork chops in onions and apples with apple butter. My mouth is watering.

Tuscan pot roast, or country coq au vin.

Mmmm, a big roast with veggies would be good :)

enter me please! i'd love to upgrade our beef stew with this.

Just the classic roast beef!

beef stew... thank you for all the great contests

mexican mac and cheese!!!!! I'm wanting it sooo bad.

Chicken, Turkey & Ham

Good old fashion STEW.

I would love to try the French Dip sandwiches that Nicole talked about at Baking Bites.com recently - it sounded WONDERFUL!

beans

Besides that orange souffle below (what a beautiful photo!), I'd make a Turkish oven soup (couscous, lamb, chickpeas, spices), lots of bean dishes, and slow-simmered stews...

Definitely soup... preferably minestrone!

turkey & black bean chili and curried broccoli soup!

I would make stew

Sweet & Sour meatballs with bell peppers and chunks of pineapples

My world famous chili!!!

Thank you!!

:)

I had such terrible luck with the first one, that only by winning one will I give it another try. The lid is not heavy enough and allows steam to escape, thus negating the entire "enclosed-steam-moisture-cooking" concept.

But, that said, I will give it another try if I win one, and I'd make white bean chicken chili.

it's gorgeous!
I've been dying for a crock pot...I'd love to try to make a simple beef stew in this! :)

Corned beef brisket.

pot roast is the best

pork butt. yum.

Oh, my, could I use this! I am starting a new job with long hours soon and coming home to dinner hot out of a Crock Pot sounds heavenly. I would start with chicken cacciatore or turkey chili or good old Irish stew or chicken noodle soup or barbecued ribs or minestrone. The possibilities are endless!

My family loves beef stew cooked in the slow cooker, and what an easy meal to make.

Corned beef & cabbage

I need a new Slow Cooker

Some pulled pork for a bbq... my mouth is watering already.

What wouldn't I cook? First corned beef, then maybe ropa vieja, pork, chili...

chili

i've been covetting one of these!!! with st. pats coming up i would have to start with guiness stew and then move on to some family favs-lasagna, chicken stew with parsley biscuits, and coconut rice pudding. thanks for a great giveaway

I LOVE to cook lamb in the crock pot. Pretty much everything else, also!
But my favorite trick is to prepare everything the night before and load it up in the crock pot the night before. That way, I just wake up in the morning and take the liner out of the fridge, drop it in the crock pot, turn it on, and go!
MMMMM! Warm hot meal when I get home!

I have a yummy crockpot recipe that has chicken, hashbrowns, onions, cheddar cheese soup, etc, that everybody loves!!

I would make a stew with alot of veggies.

I'm thinkin chili.

Chili with Rancho Gordo Beans.

Next up would be meatballs...

Beef and Guinness stew is my favorite!

This would be perfect for carnitas to put in tacos.

I would make chili.

Oh we could soooo use a replacement to our super-old 1 heat-level crock pot... I'd make pulled pork in this.. and then hubby would probably do sausage with peppers and onions.... and then we'd do chili...

I would SO make lamb curry in this. Oooh, or some soup. Or maybe some chili? I'm so hungry now...

My french onion potroast. Yummy! And I'm so in need of one of these after I dropped my old crockpot a few weeks ago. Not only did I break a floor tile, but the crockpot shattered. It was especially sad since I'd just picked up the ingredients for some mean chili! Lets just say that would be put to good use in this house :)

homemade beans

Pot roast with cream of mushroom and french onion soup

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I would try cooking bbq ribs, Ive had them one time cooked this way and they were scrumptous. Of course, the bbq sauce would be homemade!

I make a mean pot roast. That would be perfect for our
first meal cooked in this slow cooker. It will be sooo
good!

Pot roast with plenty of garlic. It's straight out of the 1950s, but great comfort food during such a chilly, wet month.

I've never cooked with a slow cooker before, but have been obsessing about having one for the last four months or so, after reading an article in Real Simple about them. They're just out of my price range, so this would be amazing!

My first choice would be chicken and dumplings. My second choice would be to keep baked potatoes hot until serving time.

Thank you for the great giveaway - I would use this to make beef stew.

I'll make something out of my new Cooking Light Slow Cooker recipe book I just got from Amazon!!!

I've been wanting to get a slow cooker and make my mother's pot roast for ages.

Pot Roast for the whole family

Indian chickpea curry! (I own no crock pot, so this would be a major plus!)

Since it's close to St.Patricks I'd like to try an Irish stew. then i'd like to try a soda bread...thanks

Oatmeal, oatmeal, oatmeal.

I'd grant my husband's wish for more braised meats and veggies.

Pot Roast is the only correct answer. With baby potatoes, carrots and rosemary.

I was thinking of a chuck roast with mushroom soup and veggies and Liptons Opnion soup until I saw corned beef and cabbage. I am so hungry now. Everything sounds so good. I really would love to win this. Keeping my fingers crossed.

carolina pulled pork bbq!

beef barBQ..mmmmmmmmmm

everything! lol :)

Nothing like slow-cooked pork.

Chicken soup

Oh we have wanted to try a nice pot roast for a while.
However with spring/summer on it's way, perhaps some homemade beans for a nice cook out!

Got a ham for Easter would do just fine in it

Beef stew -- the kind my mom would slave over all day Sunday. I'd love to enjoy it again, but without all that hard work!

Beef stew, can't wait!!

I always wanted one so I hope I win!! ;-) I know stews and all other types of foods that are cooked in a Crock-Pot taste so very good!!!! Flavor and smell are wonderful. YUM YUM!!

a big pot of curry

I just saw a recipe online for Crockpot Chicken Curry with Sweet Potatoes and Coconut rice that looks so incredibly yummy. It would be fantastic to have a versatile crockpot to cook it in!

I've heard you can do dessert stuff -like crumbles etc in a crock pot, but I don't have one so I have never tried. I would love to give it a go!

Meat Loaf in a crock pot is great.

This is one cooking item I am lacking and I would love to make so shredded pork barbecue!!!!

Our dinner tonight, in fact, is turkey chili cooked in our crockpot!

I'd make good ole Brunswick Stew, and after I got home from work, I'd make southern cornbread in my cast iron skillet--perfect marriage of the old and new!

Mmmmm I love to make beef stew..acutally what's in that picture up there looks pretty tasty!

mmmm, carnitas-perfect.

I would love to try a braised tempeh stew. All those slow-cooker recipes are so meat-centric. And if that doesn't work, lots and lots of orange soufflé.

would love to walk in the door and smell a delicious moroccan-spice-infused lamb stew. Heavenly!

nachos!!!

BBQ Ribs that fall off the bone! :)

after a 12 hour workday, it would be nice to come home to a home cooked meal instead of a takeout menu!

I would make a beef stew!

Beef stew ladled slowly over country biscuits.

Wow - this is a beautiful and versatile crock! I love crocks. Being a single working parent I find these to be invaluable in making sure family dinners are reality, and not just quick-fix frozen dinner or drive thu fair. I use them for everything - chili, roasts, stew, cakes, whole chickens, hams, desserts of all kinds. soups of all kinds! (potato.. chicken-noodle) I've managed to wear out 2 small crocks and have been pondering a nice large one.

My grandma makes a great sloppy-joe in the crockpot...would love to make that with this crockpot!! :)

slow-cooked oxtails!

chicken - tender and falling off the bones by the time I'm home. yum!

My mom gave me a stack of recipe books a while back, including a book of slow-cooker recipes. I didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't have a slow-cooker! I'd dig out the book and use it!

MMMMMM...I'd fix a recipe my mom made up and fixed me all the time when I was a kid--"Pizza Chicken."

I have used my current crock pot so much that it looks all nasty..lol I need a new one

a rick bayless pasilla and honey stew mmm... and overnight steel cut oats!

I love pot roast and vegetables.

Hello! What a fabulous crock-pot/slow-cooker! It looks great, too! My husband should be a chef! He uses a lot of special rubs he creates on poultry and meat and then uses the slow cooker! One winter dish that is great is his white chili recipe. Please enter me in your drawing. I would love to win this for my husband. Thanks very much.....Cindi

Hubby's fave: Pot Roast!
