• cakana Posted : 1/22/2007 1:26:29 PM Oh man, I love stew and I LOVE my crockpot.  It's got to be the easiest, no-brainer way to cook and there's nothing nicer than walking in after work to the aroma of dinner all ready to eat [].   Gina - can you share the recipe? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 1/22/2007 1:32:12 PM Oh gosh no recipe....I'm not that organized haha!   umm...some chuck roast cut into pieces...a bottle of beer...a bouillion cube or 2...some herbs (thyme, rosemary, bay leaves)....dredged the meat and browned w/ some onions, then put into the crock pot....put some of the beer in the skillet to boil to loosen the brown bits and poured over the meat...added the cubes and the rest of the beer [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 1/22/2007 2:12:13 PM Sounds yummy!   I've never browned my meat before putting in the crockpot.  Do you feel that it makes it better?  The beer probably gives a great flavor.  I usually use some red wine, but might try the beer next time.  Thanks for sharing [] 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 : 1/22/2007 2:14:41 PM Nothing like a pot of  homemade soup or chili on a cold day/night.  Yesterday i made a pot of broccoli-cheese soup, tosed salad and hard rolls for late lunch before hubby left out for Tennessee.  Enough left over for my supper again today. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 1/22/2007 2:16:24 PM I think the logic behind searing prior is that it will seal in the juices of the meat and keep it more tender. It does seem to make for more tender meat [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sharismom Posted : 1/22/2007 2:25:37 PM Not only does it help seal in the juices, it gives flavor and color to the broth/gravy. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 1/22/2007 2:39:55 PM Not only does it help seal in the juices, it gives flavor and color to the broth/gravy.   Makes sense.  Unfortunately, I'm usually throwing everything in a few min's before I leave for work, so I don't have the time to brown the meat.  After cooking for 8-9 hours, the meats always tender too.  I usually buy the cut up stew meat, which is ridiculously expensive, so maybe I'll try using a chuck roast next time. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 1/22/2007 2:49:08 PM It's dual purpose...Ellie REALLY enjoyed the bones that I cut out of the roast when I was sectioning it out [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
