Crockpot Multi express Sauces?

[mchugh21]

Hi,

I have a crockpot Multi express and have been using it lately to cook my chicken breasts with on the steam function.

I was wondering how would I cook the chicken breasts with sauces that you can get from in the super markets in Jars such as Sweet and sour chicken. Curry sauces, or beef with chilli Con carne, Spaghetti sauce. Would it be possible to cook these in my crockpot using the Steam option. Please let me know if anyone has done this before and how have you done it.

Thanks

Most of those sauces are too thick to generate steam. They would likely just burn

Yes, you would probably need to some liquid to create steam. And the result would be diluted.

Does your MultiPot have a "Warm" function?

Steam your breasts as usual, switch to 'Warm', pour sauce in over (perhaps sliced) breasts and reheat sauce.

Your appliance is warm, your chicken is warm, it should not take very long to warm the sauce. If there is an excess of water left over from steaming I would remove it.
