Hi! Do you soften the stuffing crumbs in the egg and sauce before mixing

blend doing it this way?

[CnD] cooking beans

2010-01-03 Thread Nancy Matulis
Soak most beans in three times their volume of cold water for six hours before 
cooking. (You can cook beans without soaking, but it takes longer, and some 
people think the beans taste better when soaked.)

Step 3
Drain and rinse the beans, and then put them in a large pot. Add water to come 
an inch or two over the beans. Do not add salt!

Putting salt in the beans will prevent them from softening. 

Other beans are yellow eye beans great for new england style baked beans. Nancy

Also, you can cook the smaller recipes in a larger crockpot.  I have a 3 and

time, though.  You may just have to try it and wee.

and some people think the beans taste better when soaked.)


Step 3
Drain and rinse the beans, and then put them in a large pot. Add water to 
come an inch or two over the beans. Do not add salt!


Putting salt in the beans will prevent them from softening.

Other beans are yellow eye beans great for new england style baked beans.

PEG´S NOTE:
I made some changes instead of the 12-oz. can of tomatoes, I used the 
large can (29-oz.) of crushed tomatoes and instead of the tomato paste I 
used a 15-oz. can of petite diced tomatoes. We like our chili pretty thick. 
I also added a little bit of cumin too. I used hot pork sausage just because 
we like our chili spicy, but mild sausage would be just fine too.

I have a friend who has a stove that has two burners. well it has four but
it has 8. okay confused yet? ea each burner has a large and a small in the
middle so you can do four small pots or four large pots. it also has a
warming plate in the middle of the stove. I would never use her stove.

Hunthausen,
When I  first got my flat top stove I  turned on all the burners once at a
time to see which dial was for whichburner. Then I  turned on the burners
and put a  pot on each of them. Then I felt around the burner to see what
was hot. I  then put my fingers around the pot on the flat surface and
judged how much room there was between the sides of the stove and the pot. I
am able to put my four fingers flat on the stove glass and not get burned.
I  hope this helps.
Diane

[CnD] split pea soup

2010-01-03 Thread leverenz
Here is a recipe that should give you a place to start.  I don't care for split 
pea soup done in the crock pot because the peas never seem to break down and I 
like my split pea soup thick.  I just would follow this recipe (use some ham or 
smoke turkey wings or legs in place of the ham hock) but do in a pot on the 
stove.
ham and split pea soup crock pot 

8 cups water 

4 large carrots cut into half inch pieces 

3 stalks celery cut into half inch pieces 

2 bay leaves 

2 garlic cloves crushed with press 

2 smoked ham hocks about 1-2/3 pounds 

1 pound dry split green peas picked over rinsed and drained 

1 onion chopped 

half teaspoon thyme 

2 tablespoons lemon juice 

in crock combine everything except lemon juice adding 1 tablespoon salt 

cook low 8-10 hours high 4-5 hours 

Remove ham hocks discard bay leaves, when ham hocks are cool enough to handle 
remove skin, fat and bone 

Cut meat into small pieces and return to soup stirring in lemon juice

Re: [CnD] Crockette CHICKEN IN A POT

2010-01-03 Thread Jan Bailey
There's a new Hamilton Beach one I got from Wal-Mart. It has a base, one 
lid, and 3 sizes of pots, 2,4 and 6 quart. You choose the size of pot you 
need, and there are 3 buttons on the front of the machine as well as a knob. 
Going from left to right, the buttons are 2,4 and 6 quart, so you press that 
right away. Then I believe the settings on the knob are off, warm, low and 
high. It's heavy, but good.
