You are amazing, Cat!

Hello MammaCat! I haven't decided on my next experiment yet. I'll probably just go to the grocery store and pick out some kind of meat.... :)

Pretty good, that is. I have no idea whether or not god is pretty.

Yes, I already cooked them. It actually turned out pretty god, better than my first, oniony experiment. I put in a bunch of breaded uncooked boneless chicken breasts, a chopped up potato, 4 boneless pork chop things, a can of corn, and a can of chicken broth I found in my cabinet. No onions!

I have a stove and a microwave, too. I gave away my toaster oven. I'm kind of enjoying just experimenting with the crock pot, though. I'll pretty much eat anything anyways.

My inherited crock pot has an 8 hour low temp timer built in. I'm using that setting. US pacific time zone, btw.

Thank you! I actually started it about an hour ago, added about a cup of water (I wanted to dissolve a beef bullion cube in something), and partially cooked half the bacon and threw it in. Potatoes/carrots went on the bottom (soggy is fine with me), onions around the meat, some pepper and garlic...

Deglaze? Is that like "scrape" in layman's terms? How much water should I add? Thanks!

Hello Discusscooking! I was invited here by the lovely and gracious CatPat. I'm not much of a cooker, single guy, no wives or kids, so try not to laugh at me too much. Here's my question: I have recently inherited a crock pot. After looking at it for a couple months, I've decided to try making a...
