Crockpot chicken

• mudpuppy Posted : 11/2/2006 11:54:28 AM Actually I think the majority of the nutrients probably survive pretty well. They may leach out into the broth but since the broth is used to cook the rice they stay contained in the end result.   I don't think you are correct. For example, I believe B vitamins are completely destroyed if heated at 100 degrees or so for longer than 4 hours. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sandra_slayton Posted : 11/2/2006 12:25:42 PM I know some who crock pot most of their meals and I don't think the viatmins are destroyed.  I only crock pot soups and chili and stews as a rule now, but use to do full meals in them when the boys were home. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 11/2/2006 12:43:02 PM For example, I believe B vitamins are completely destroyed if heated at 100 degrees or so for longer than 4 hours. But how many b vitamins are left in the food, by the time it gets to us? B vitamins are leached out, by stress. Our food is completely stressed out, by the way it is grown and transported. I always add b vitamins to the dogs' food, and I take them every day, too. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sandra_slayton Posted : 11/2/2006 12:59:54 PM I do think between their kibble and cooked, mine are probably getting what they need, but to be on safe side i am give each a doggie multivi vitamin, an EsterC, an vit. E each day, and 2 fish oil on non fish days, and l on days they get fish.  I also give Buck a cranberry cap every day since he had that kidney infection.  I also take all of the above vitamins (i do take human muliti vit. instead of doggie vit), and I also take fiber caps, garlique and a B complex.  Hubby takes the same as me. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• dyan Posted : 11/2/2006 4:25:11 PM Cool link Dunders. THANKS!  So many of the vitamins are not effected by cooking. Vit. C is though. And I guess if you don't cook it long enough they can't have the bones and that would be missing something then.   Merrick makes a canned food with chicken wings which includes the bones; there website says it's safe because the bones are mushy. Janice, how interesting,,I didnt' know it! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 11/3/2006 7:03:45 PM So, um, I took out this whole chicken and thawed it a couple of days ago. I tried to cut the darn thing up for Ella to eat raw. Yeah...No. I got the wings and the legs, but the torso area (or whatever the crap it's called) wasn't budging for me. I don't have a meat cleaver so I couldn't cut through the tiny chicken bones (we SERIOUSLY need new knives). Anyway, So...I took the remainder of this chicken and put it into my crockpot and added some water and some garlic powder. I'm thawing out some liver to add tomorrow. I'll probably get some potatoes tomorrow to add and maybe a sweet potato. I would have just given it to her raw had I been able to cut it into smaller sections. Ah well, this will probably have our mouths watering by the time morning rolls around. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chelsea_b Posted : 11/3/2006 7:21:09 PM What I really like are the plastic crock pot liners.   Those scare me. I can't help but wonder what chemicals leech out of the plastic and into the food. I just throw the crock into the sink, fill it with super hot water and soap, and wipe it out a couple hours later. Or better yet, throw it in the dishwasher when there's room. I never have to scrape anything out of it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sandra_slayton Posted : 11/3/2006 7:41:45 PM I put chopped up calf liver the pot I made Sunday night--also sweet potatoes, yellow squash, apple, frozen green beans, garlic powder.  They ate on it Mon & Tuesday, last night and tonight (Salmon WEd. night) and have enough for Sat night as they will have salmon again tomorrow night.  I heat it up and as i am dishing into their kibble (on the bar) they are all but shimmying up my legs to get at their bowls. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 11/4/2006 6:50:20 AM It wasn't on the No-No list the nutritionalist gave me.   Mine get it, but not much and not often.  When I buy massive amounts in season for the freezer I snip off the ends and that's what goes in a bag for the dogs.  Asparagus is just too toooo yummy to share! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 11/4/2006 8:37:37 AM Oh, I got like 4 bunches at one time when it was like, $1.99 per lb. But it's been in my freezer (I freeze larger quantities like that when I buy fresh) since like, July. I don't mind sharing it with her this one time, only because I have so much of it. What else can I get today to add to it? So far I'm going to add asparagus, carrots, and liver. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
