The Official Crock Pot/Slow Cooker thread

It's a pretty plebian/generic sounding name isn't it? But I've been to a couple of the stores when I visited in Georgia and Florida and like fhm555 said they were very nice. Definitely a step or two above my local Kroger and Albertson's.

Albertson's came to my little town when I was living in Florida and I got hooked on their 8 piece fried chicken for (I think) $5.99. When I'm living by myself I'm very lazy when it comes to food and I like cold fried chicken as much as I do fresh so it was rare there for a while to not find an Albertson's chicken pack in my fridge.
 
You mean you can cook food in them? I just cook hide glue in my little one ... y'all done made me hungry. :)

Typical example of my terminal tinkeritus. I need something to keep a two part epoxy warm so it flows better for mixing and gives me a longer pot life once mixed. Anywho, I took an old Mr. Coffee and used the warmer section to heat an oversized insulated coffee cup big enough to hold my bottles.

I could have simply plugged in a crock pot and got the same thing.
 
Made some pulled chicken sliders last week. Pretty simple. Cook boneless chicken breast on low for 4 hours in chicken broth. Remove and shred it with a fork when it cool. Add chicken back to crock pot with your favorite barbecue sauce and cook on medium for half an hour.
Here is my favorite barbecue sauce recipe:
1/2 onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp liquid smoke
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar (I use coconut sugar for a lower glycemic level)
1/3 tsp hot pepper sauce* (or to taste)
1/tsp lemon juice

In a large skillet or pot, coming the onion, garlic and vanilla.
Sauted onion and garlic in a small amount of butter, stir in vanilla
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil
Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for 20 minutes

Got this recipe from a novel by Hope Callaghan called "Divine Secrets: A Divine Cozy Mystery"
