Hello All,
I am a new member here and need some guidance in buying a new crockpot. There are so many models to chose from and I want to make sure that I make a reasonable choice. Does anybody have any recommendations on what brand/model to buy. I would like to buy an oval-shaped model (preferably 5 to 6-quart size). I cook for just two of us, but would like a larger size so that I will have leftovers or make enough for company.
Take a package of cube steak (I used 2 pounds tonight), flour and brown it. Place in crockpot with a sliced onion, and a can of beef broth. Cook on low about 4-6 hours. The last 30 minutes, take 2 envelopes of brown gravy mix and 1 envelope of country gravy mix and stir them with 2 cups of water, pour over meat.
Assuming I get a small one that fits, can I cook a whole turkey in an oven bag in a crockpot? Will the skin come out soggy? I'd really love to avoid setting off the smoke alarm this Thanksgiving.
