crock pot substitute

My wife prefers the take out over my cooking...that way she doesn't have to clean up the mess! :laughing:

Makes me think of that episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" where his wife finally realizes she has been doing laundry every since he intentionally botched it up one time...he did that to escape the chore. :laughing:

I loved that show! I've learned that I don't have to intentionally botch anything, just take long enough to do it and my wife will get tired of waiting and do it herself. :laughing:

The closest I have got to a crock pot, is camp style Dutch oven cooking; using charcoal or coals from campfire.

Love the Dutch oven. Not as practical, but great way to make a meal.

I think this whole story is a crock.

Are we talking about a crock pot or a crack pot? Seems the ex is the only one with the right recipe, "If the eggs are scrambled too much, you might need another cooler."

We have a crock pot too.

But during the summer, to keep house cooler, we'll cook in the camp Dutch oven out on the patio. And, we use them while out camping. And when I am out with Scouts(I am an asst Scoutmaster locally).

Interesting, my wife has a second crock pot that she wired a light dimmer to. She makes infused oil(garlic, rosemary, thyme etc). The dimmer allows her to fine tune the temperature; she uses that in conjunction with a thermometer.

We just put our crock pot outside in the summer. We do that when camping too in order to keep it cooler in the camper so the A/C doesn't have to work as hard.

Not sure I could make blackberry cobbler in a crock pot A camp Dutch oven though Yum!

i'm pretty satisfied with my cooking skills. this was a pretty good meal for 15 minutes of prep work and no meat component.
my next date will for sure be with someone of my generation, not someone my daughter's age.

Hopefully she was at least 18

Now you've done it! That sounds yummy! Guess I will have to go get a piece of the fresh gooseberry pie my wife made!
