We love the sleek styling of this too - gleaming and clean, with a white ceramic insert. A beautiful slow cooker - perfect for fall!

Leave for 8 hours. Come back, drain the juice, pull apart the pork with forks, add bbq sauce and enjoy. Yum. Now my mouth is watering.

My husband and I do a lot of slow cooker meals. Our favorite thing is to clean out the refrigerator and freezer and make a stew. Just about any vegetable can go in the pot - cut them all up to cook evenly.
My rule of thumb is to make a single layer of each ingredient. Things like potatoes and carrots go on the bottom, softer vegetables above that, then the meat on top. Add some broth or stock of some sort, but not too much - more liquid will be created as it cooks, and you can always add even more later if you need to.
Season when you estimate that you've got about an hour of cooking to go. There you are - a tasty meal that uses up odds and ends from the fridge.

My favorite crock pot meal is to take cut potatoes, carrot, onion and place them in the bottom, then put a whole chicken on top. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. It's better than any rotisserie and so juicy and tender. The bones practically fall out of the chicken.
After dinner, I put all the bones back in the crock pot with water, spices, and anything else I want in my stock. Cook on low overnight and in the morning, I have chicken stock. Too easy.
Unfortunately, my crock pot suffered an unfortunate encounter with the kitchen floor recently so I really hope I win this one.

My absolute favorite slow cooker meal is chicken and dumplings. I don't mind all the time it takes to properly prepare the ingredients since I can just plop them in a slow cooker and ignore it all until it's time to toss in the dumpling dough many hours later. And the best part is that there's always leftovers, and they taste even better after the flavors have a chance to "get married" (as my great-grandmother always said) in the refrigerator.
Alas, my slow cooker was left behind at my father-in-law's apartment last Christmas... 3000 miles from home. I don't think I'll be getting it back.

My favorite is beef stew - but I change it up a bit by adding in some tomato paste, garlic, and red wine to the beef stock base - plus kitchen bouquet and worcestershire to make it very thick and brown, like gravy. Then I throw in red & green peppers, onions, potatoes and the beef (of course!) and let it all cook for about 6 hours. IF there's leftovers, I add rice to those to add even more thickness.

My favorite slow cooker meal is my mother's Five Spice Chinese Braised Pork. I use her homemade 5 spice powder mix (store bought ones usually have too much cinnamon for my taste), dark soy sauce, white pepper, and a dash of sesame oil to marinade the pork (usually a boneless pork shoulder or a few hunks of pork knuckles). Then add in a cup of dashi stock and let it cook away for the day. To further stretch the meal I also add in about 8 hard boiled eggs the next day to make braised eggs. They absorb all the flavor from the fat and marinade sauce that cooked the meat. I know it's a lot of work but a pot like this would last me a whole week.
Man I am so hungry now!

My family loves it when I put a turkey breast in the crockpot. I just sprinkle some seasonings (whatever I am in the mood for that night) in the crockpot and put the turkey in. I turn it on and let it cook all day. When we come in from after school the house smells wonderful. I just add some steamed rice and a veggie and supper is done! I put some carrots, celery, garlic and onions in the broth and add some water. I add the turkey bones and skin and let this cook for hours and I have a very thick, rich broth that is great for turkey soup.

Venison shoulder roast would work well in this.
OR:
Coat the shoulder with Teriyaki Sauce and sear both sides on charcoal grill or under broiler, 5 to 10 min. [Optional Step]
Put shoulder in deep roasting pan and add the following:
2 cups dry red wine
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup beef broth
1 pkg. dry vegetable soup mix [1 cup water]
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix [1 cup water]
Seal pan tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil and bake
at 300 deg. for 3 to 4 hours.
Optional: When the meat has separated from bone, remove the bones and add carrots, potatoes, and small onions. Add water to cover the vegetables and continue baking 30 to 40 min. or until the vegetables are done.

It is a super soup, hardy and lovely on a cold winter's day and I even serve it to guests.

My absolute favorite thing to make in a slow cooker is homemade chicken stock. I save all my kitchen scraps-roasted sweet potato skins, corn cobs and husks, insides of tomatoes, broccoli stalks, carrot peels, onion skins, etc... in large resealable freezer bags. When I have a few leftover chicken carcasses, I toss them in the slow cooker, add bay leaves, peppercorns, onion and garlic and any of the frozen vegetables that looks good. (Don't forget a splash of vinegar to draw the nutrients out of the bones.) Set on low and walk away all day or all night. Strain out and discard all solids, and you will have the most delicious chicken stock to use for recipes or whatever!

I live in the (practically, but not really) tundra, so slow cookers are a must for our long winters. Last winter I dropped mine on the kitchen floor and the ceramic part broke. My parents had an extra one they let me borrow for the rest of the winter. Then my dog broke the lid on theirs while trying to get at my chili. So now I am slow cooker less. Please, I'd love to try this nice new one. I would treasure it! So would my dog, for any leftover chili that comes her way :)

I have never used a slow cooker, but have always wanted to try. I would love to win this so I could try some of the great dishes that everyone is talking about!

Any cheap cut of meat is enhanced to delicious by slow-cooking it.

I haven't gotten to find out, because I don't have a slow cooker! But as the autumnal chill is creeping into the air, I'd love to come home to hot, long-simmered soup.

My favorite meal is corned beef in the slow cooker. That's the Irish in me.

Spicy shrimp creole cooks up perfectly in a slow cooker. Just add the shrimp at the end, with about ten minutes to go.
