Crock pots & pressure cookers

[cinmell]

I have a pressure cooker that I've never even opened (I got if for my bridal shower over 5 years ago ) and I was thinking of buying a crock pot. If you have a pressure cooker and or crock pot, what do you cook in them? Are there any good sites that have recipes for either of these 2 things?

Thanks!

Cindy,

I love my crockpot. I turn it on in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home from work. You can cook almost anything in it. Check out this website for recipes www.crockpot.com .

I recently purchaseda a small crock pot and fell in love with it. So I went and got a 4 1/4 quart one. Now two meals going at once.

I have both!

I use the crock-pot for soups, stews, meatballs, etc... Great for chili. Apparently there is a new cookbook at Williams Sonoma with great recipes, haven't looked at it yet, but my friend is raving about it! I probably use it 10-15x per year, mostly in winter and for parties.

I use the PC for brown rice, lentils, dried beans. It cooks brown rice in 20 minutes. For that, it was worth the $50!! I use it about once a week when my husband does his stir fry dishes.

Neither of these are my favorite kitchen things, but I can't imagine not having them.

chili.....spaghetti sauce.....meatballs......but my PC is special for making baked beans.......it is unreal how much they taste like cooking all day beans......but it only takes one hour......this is the ultimate

I make incredible meals in teh crockpot. I pu tit all together the night before , stick it in the fridge, and plop it in teh cooker in teh morning- by dinner - voila- cooked food! Get one with different heat settings and a timer.
