A good go to recipe is pork roast.

I put all kinds of seasonings on the roast.

Then I pour a soda in the crockpot. This is supposed to soft the pork.

When it is done about 7 to 8 hours it will chop real easy and you can put some 
barbecue saue in it to mix and perhaps[s a bit of maple syrup and/or brown 
sugar. Serve on hamburger buns.

Subject: [CnD] Crockpot recipes

Hello friends, I survived thought a crockpot for a while and I was hoping
to get one for Christmas. Well I did So I’m happy because I can continue to
multitask as usual.
When I was a single mom, I was content with recipes like corn chowder and
other vegetarian stuff. But my other half is a meat and potatoes kind of
guy. So do any of you have any types of recipes that you would like to
share?
I’m thinking something along the line of recipes with affordable cuts of
meat or maybe even chicken legs and thighs.

Have a wonderful weekend
Sincerely, Rebeca and family

Hello, 
We have an instapot but it is not one that works with the app. We find it 
chalenging to use. It does have buttons on it. What brands do you have that you

I also prefer Shipt. We recently ordered grocerys through Kroger. They use

fee with Shipt.

If I may add my two sense worth: I highly prefer shipt at least here because 
the shoppers are so much more knowledgeable and it's often been easier for me 
to chat with them about my groceries.  Also, you can order from shipt without 
signing up for their membership but you pay a delivery fee.  I forget what the 
minimum grocery order is for free delivery though but if you pay for the 
membership it's $35 in groceries for free delivery. 
I did not know there was a number for Instacart because every time I've tried 
to contact them I've only ever had the option of emailing them.  I've had a lot 
of bad luck with the shoppers.  Lastly, you can pay monthly for Instacart 
instead of the yearly fee if you'd like.  It's $8.99 here.

To clarify some things: to my understanding, you get free delivery with Peapod 
if you order $100 worth. Before that, the minimum order is $69, on which there 
would be a delivery fee, but for me that is lower then the cost of a 
round-trip, so would be worth it.

With Instacart, you can join Instacart express, which saves you on the service 
and delivery fees each time, and which is a good option if you feel you would 
be shopping often enough to justify the $99 membership fee. You are not 
obligated to join Instacart express. It’s nice that their minimum order is $35. 
The two week free trial is for if you want to decide if you wish to join the 
express membership. Their phone representatives i’ve been very good when 
problems have come up. From what little I have seen of Shipt, it seems you 
can’t shop without joining their program that’s like Instacart express. I 
didn’t do it because they weren’t offering anything different than Instacart in 
the way of stores.

As far as why it was discontinued, I have no clue.
Regarding the Bluetooth app, Every feature available is also VoiceOver 
accessible.
Truthfully though, while there are a lot of modes you can choose from (beans, 
rice, yogurt, soup, etc), more often than not, everyone uses for the most part 
the manual option.
With the Bluetooth app, I am able to adjust pressure cooking time, high or low 
pressure, select to start right away or delay start or even select a time for 
it to start the cooking process. Say for example I want to make a batch of soft 
boiled eggs and I get up early in the morning. I just put the eggs and water in 
the IP and go into the app, select the manual function and configure it to 
start cooking at 8:00 AM or whatever and walk away to do other stuff and not 
worry about coming back to turn it on.
I think the only built in mode/function I actually use is yogurt since we make 
our very own Quark (European style yogurt).
With the Bluetooth app, you can also check cooking time, temperature, how long 
it's been on the warm function too. I know for example it takes more or less 60 
minutes to make peruano beans depending on how hard or soft I want them to be. 
So I'll just tell Siri to set a 75 minute timer. 60 minutes for under pressure 
and say 15 minutes for it to get to pressure, but that will fluctuate depending 
on what you're cooking and how much water you've got in the IP or if you want 
to use a shortcut of already pouring in boiling water and so on.
Anyway, with the app, I can peak in and see how much time is left or if a 
recipe calls for a  slow release, the app again, will also say how long it's 
been on warm if you don't want to use a timer.
My sighted wife over the holidays was using the 8 quart IP we also have that 
doesn't have any WIFI or Bluetooth and out of habit from upstairs, she launched 
the iOS app from her iPad to check the status and was reminded that it wasn't 
the Bluetooth one she was using. She grumbled all the way downstairs to check.
So again, it's great having a chart to know what the physical buttons do, but 
nobodies really talked about what you can actually do or access from within the 
iOS app.

I know it is more expensive, but I buy the precooked bacon from Schwans. It is 
a little expensive but worth the money.

One tip I use with bacon when raw and in the package is to bend the package

Hi everyone!
I am sure this topic has been covered before, but as it goes, I didn’t pay 
attention and now I am looking for such an appliance. Can anyone recommend an

you could count the clicks to set the timer or temperature? Or those that can 
be controlled with an iPhone app? Also, I would like to get a multi-purpose 
appliance one can use for roasting, grilling, air frying. The air fryers from

 Randy, my sister bakes hers in the oven and I've done the same. She said 
 to bake it at 400 for 20 minutes; to be honest, to me that wasn't long 
 enough. I have a pan with a drip tray so the grease falls to the bottom; 
 it's a lot easier than frying on the stove and better tasting, I think, 
 than preparing in the microwave. I'd say to just experiment with time 
 depending on the thickness of your bacon. Good luck.

I like the concept of less oil. However, one of the things my husband wants to 
cook is fried chicken. We have heard that the air fryers don't do floured

We have the older grill with the waffle plates. It has a dial knob in the 
middle of the grill. It is accessible.

[CnD] Presure cooker problems

[Debbie Deatherage via Cookinginthedark]

Sent from my iPhoneWe are having some problems with our pressure cooker. It is 
releasing pressure before it is supposed to. It makes the sound that it seals 
and a few minutes later befor it is time it releases pressure. At first we 
didn't think there was enough water in it. We did a test with just liquid and 
it did the same. We have not had it that long. We don't know if it might be the 
valve or ring. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

 Hi, Alex.

 My mom got me one of these from QVC, only it's round and has a silicone 
 insert I can use to steam veggies.  There's also a 4 cavity silicone muffin 
 pan that comes with it.

 So far I really like mine.  I've made meat loaf, hamburgers, several types of 
 chicken and have steamed vegetables with no problem.

 It is tricky to figure out cooking times, even though the microwave wattage 
 used in their manual is an 1100 watt and that's the same as mine, so there's 
 been some trial and error.

 Still, it does a good job with browning things and you really can make a 
 grilled chese that's crispy on both sides.  You'd never know it was cooked in 
 a microwave.

 Subject: [CnD] The RangeMate is pretty handy, sometimes


 Hi all,
 My grandmother is constantly buying random things she sees on TV that will 
 help me in the kitchen. Very rarely do they prove to be anything more that 
 Ebay fodder, but there are exceptions.

 The RangeMate (www.rangemateusa.com) is one. It claims to let you cook 
 hamburgers, chicken breasts, quesadillas, grilled cheese, and so on, all in 
 the microwave. Aside from flipping halfway through, you need only put the 
 item in, put the lid on, and nuke it.

 I was skeptical, but I have to admit that I've had success so far. My 
 hamburger was good, my grilled cheese nicely done, my quesadillas (once I got 
 the cooking time down) quite tasty… I expected a different taste or texture, 
 in the same way food in a slow cooker can taste more steamed than one would 
 like. This wasn't the case, though. The website lists a lot more 
 recipes--muffins, oatmeal, eggs, and more--but I haven't tried them yet.

 The RangeMate is a large rectangle made from plastic. The long sides are 
 slightly convex and sport small handles. Inside, you have a grill pan, 
 complete with the ridges that will give things grill marks. The plastic sides 
 extend above the pan a few inches, until terminating in a rubber ring that 
 goes around the inner perimeter. The lid, which has a knob-like handle on 
 top, rests on that rubber. It just sits there, no locking mechanism or 
 anything. Once you put your food on the pan and put the lid on, you place the 
 entire contraption in the microwave and hit 'Start'. As I said, you'll have 
 to flip your meal partway through cooking; the small size of the RangeMate 
 can make this a bit of a challenge, but I doubt most people would have a 
 problem.

 If you've been considering one of these, or have never heard of it, my 
 personal--and still somewhat limited--experience is that this thing does what 
 it says on the box. Give it a try, especially if you have a glass-topped 
 stove or can never get the timing right when cooking something in a pan.

Re: [CnD] Home-cooked pizza always hard on edges, underdone in center

Swans used to have a frozen pizza crust for pizzas. I've tried it and if you

 Hi all,
 A quick question for anyone who knows. We sometimes cook pizza, either fully 
 homemade, or frozen. No matter what the crust is, though, the pizza always 
 crisps up on the edges (harder than I'd like) and is soft, almost underdone, 
 for the majority of the middle. We end up with outer crust that's hard to 
 chew--it's crunchy, not chewy--and most of the dough far too soft. We use a 
 pizza stone or stone pan, but it always comes out the same. Has anyone found 
 anything that helps this? It's getting quite frustrating, as all of us love 
 pizza but the only properly cooked ones we can get are pre-made from a 
 restaurant. Thanks for any suggestions.

 I'd suggest evaporated milk if you don't want to use heavy cream. It's 
 thicker than regular milk.

 Hi, Debbie,
 The heavy cream in the recipe, is there to help thicken the sauce. Because 
 milk has less fat content, you probably can use it but won't get the same 
 results as if you used the heavy cream.
 Experiment and see what you think.
 Happy Cooking,
 Alice

 I previously had the larger unit, but I now have the smaller electric
 pressure cooker because it better suits our needs. 
 If you get it, I would recommend downloading the manual for easy reading
 access. I also scanned the cookbook that came with my unit. I had a friend
 who uses them all the time show me how to use it with a few recipes. It
 actually cooks faster than I ever thought possible. I have used it as a
 pressure cooker, a slow cooker, and to keep food warm. I have tried to brown
 meat in it, but I find that is easier to do on the stovetop and then
 transfer the meat to the pressure cooker. I think I have found this
 difficult because of the depth of the cooker. 
 As usual my complaint is that they readout is not audible. Really, is it
 that hard to make appliances talk?

 HI All,
  First, my name is Chris and I am brand new to this list.
 
  As a serious coffee-aholic, I have a quick question for anyone out there. 
 
  First, I should specify that I am not asking about a Keurig (sorry for 
 spelling) in this email:). I say this because every time I post this to a 
 list, the responses that I get are all about the Keurig (of which I am very 
 familiar as I have one currently). 
 
  I have been grinding coffee beans about once-a-day to have really fresh 
 coffee. Since I use a Keurig with the personal k-cup, this means that I need 
 to do a lot of extra prep and clean-up that is not highly desired:). I used 
 to have one of the coffee makers that first grinds and then brews the coffee 
 (typically called a grind and brew).
 
  The problem that I have with these, is that typically they have visual 
 screens and require a relatively large amount of programming (e.g., to set 
 the level of the grind, the strength of the brew, the speed of the brew, the 
 amount of coffee, and so on) to get a really good cup of coffee. As someone 
 with no vision who lives alone, these are a serious pain and not really 
 blind-friendly. Basically I find myself just guessing at the settings and 
 sticking with whatever seems to work adequately enough to get freshly ground 
 coffee of some degree the first time:).
 
  Thus, I am wondering if anyone knows of an accessible version of the grind 
 and brew, if there is one that does not involve programming with a visual 
 screen, or one that involves extremely limited programming  as I am not sure 
 it is possible to get one without any programming:).
 Have a wonderful and hopefully not too cold week!
 Chris

 Welcome to the list. You'll get a lot of great recipes and techniques here.
 Sorry, but my only pork chop recipes are either oven or electric skillet
 recipes, though the basic oven pork chop recipe might work. In this one you
 slice up potatoes and an onion and layer the onion and then the potatoes in
 the crock pot. Then you shake some seasoning mix on the potatoes (ranch
 dressing mix, Greek seasoning, or possibly even taco seasoning would work)
 and then layer the pork chops on top of the potatoes. Some people also pour
 cream of mushroom soup over the chops at this point. In the oven it cooks
 for about an hour and forty five minutes at about 400248f, so someone else
 will have to give you a crok cooking time. The number of chops depends on
 the size of them, but you want good coverage over the potatoes.
 There are a lot of great crock pot recipes out there, and I use mine a lot
 during the cooler months. (Heating up the kitchen during a Texas summer
 isn't appealing very often)

 that cooking spray and have never found a better one.

 I use the type of cooking sray that has flour in it.  I think it's called
 Baker's Joy.

 Sometimes you just have to grease and flour and forget the cooking spray.
 Doesn't work as well and some recipes need the flour.

 Hi all,
 Someone emailed a recipe for pineapple bars.  I tried them last night, in a
 regular 9x13 pan - the original recipe specified a 10x14, and some people
 wondered about what else would work.  The 9x13 did perfectly, just make sure
 to coat it liberally with cooking spray as these bars really stick.  Also, a
 huge thank you to the person who sent the recipe; I think I found the new
 favorite dessert for everyone in the house.  Those bars were incredible!

 Have a great day,
 Alex Hall

Re: [CnD] jenjerbread

hello,
We have made a couple of these gingerbread recipes.  They have 
not turned out like a cake texture.  When you go to cut them they 
just crumble into pieces.  Has anyone made any of these?

[CnD] Barbecue chicken

[Debbie Deatherage via Cookinginthedark]

Hello, 
My husband Bill tried to send a message to the list and for some reason they 
are not getting to the list.  We are going to fix bbq chicken tonight.  Does 
anyone have any recipes?  We are going to use some homemade Jack Daniels Sauce 
he made in the pressure cooker the other day.  Also, how long do you usually 
cook chicken in the oven.  Thank you.

Thank you, also, when you fix it with barbecue sauce would you put the barbecue 
sauce on at the beginning or towards the end?

 Hi:
 
 Here is a great new idea for the microwave.  It is a grill pan and a steamer
 all in one. Foods really do brown in these pans and they stay moist.  The
 handles stay cool to the touch also.
  This version even comes with a muffin pan. It's the today's special value
 on Qvc today and I recommend this. I have tried other pans  from this line
 and they really do work. Here is the qvc item number.

Hello,
Yes, you can get it at Bed Bath and Beyond.  It is not a talking 
grill that I know of.  I would say it is like the George forman 
but does not have all the interchangeable plates.
