#4 That is good news Tigg.......maybe a sign of things to come. Let's hope anyway.
A crockpot works great for meats. I do pulled pork, roasts, chili, brisket and all sorts of stuff in mine. I still use the old Rival that I received as a wedding gift 35 yrs ago. Learned finally that the biggest mistake people tend to make with them is to keep taking the lid off and gawking at the stuffs inside. Just look through the lid unless you need to add something else to it later in the cooking process.

time and time again this thread reminds me of my desire to slowcook meats easily, inside, while i sit at work salivating.
im just gonna do it already, and get a cheap 15$ crock pot. only cooking meats for 1 & a 1/2 so doesnt need to be big.
for a while i was looking into the indoor smoker crock pots, but 200$ is not something i can afford to spend on the novelty, eventually i hope to own one, but my financial sitch would have to improve.. & it makes sense to test the slowcookedwaters first.
brisket, corned beef and pulled pork are some of my favorite meats (+ribs)
time to step up

I've had a totally lazy day. . . napped quite a bit, but not so much that I will have a hard time falling asleep tonight.
The crockpot is PERFECT for corned beef. On the stove is difficult because you have to constantly monitor the liquid. Alternatively, I would braise in the oven. However, crockpot is my first choice if, for no other reason, it will save a ton in electricity costs (having the stove or oven on for hours really cranks up the electric bill).
I love my crockpot, although I don't use it as much as I should. Every time I do use it, I think "I should use this at least once a week." I agree with you, Joan, except for one kind of meat. I don't do chicken in the crockpot. . . it always seems to come out with a really strange texture. The crockpot, though, is ideal for any tough, cheaper cut of meat. . . the slow cooking process does amazing things to these kinds of cuts.

easy peasy crockpot pulled pork
a lump of pork...if fat on one side put that side down...
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons liquid smoke... I tend to use a bit more but I do perhaps 5 or 6 lbs at a time here...
fat side down.. put salt and liquid smoke on evenly and set to low for probably 8-10 hours or high for 5-6. can turn about halfway through if you are home... take it out, shred and put back in for a bit.. can add bbq sauce if you want... that is it. Makes its own juice.

Funny, I was looking at pressure cookers yesterday. I used to have one, but I have no idea what happened to it. (It's possible that I had it before I moved to Puerto Rico 13 years. . . I may have sold it in a garage sale.). They're a little pricy, but the convenience, I think, would make up for it for me.

Is that the same as a canner? People use that to cook with and it holds pressure.
