Perfect pasta can be made using your crock-pot. With a few tips, you will get delicious pasta every time. There are many different ways to make pasta with crock-pot recipes. It all depends on what recipe you are making.

Cooking Pasta as a Separate Step

In some recipes, it is recommended to cook your pasta completely before adding it to your recipe. Alternatively, your crock-pot contents might be served on a bed of noodles. You may find this works well with stroganoff, roasted meats with sauces, and other similar recipes.

Some recipes may ask you to partially cook your pasta in boiling water until it is just barely tender. They then suggest adding the semi-cooked pasta to the crock-pot for the last half hour or so of cooking. You may use this technique with dishes like chicken Alfredo, casseroles and other meals. This method allows the noodles to finish cooking in the crock-pot, soaking up some of the flavors in the sauce.

Making the pasta separately is more work than just using the crock-pot. However, taking the time to boil your water and cook the pasta just right gives you perfect noodles when you need them. This technique is not appropriate for all recipes, however.

Everything in the Crock-Pot at Once

Some recipes that you find for the crock-pot call for uncooked pasta. They mean less work for you, though in most cases the pasta is still added in towards the end. This technique works well for homemade chicken noodle soup, ramen, or goulash. Standard types of pasta should be added to your crock-pot about half an hour to an hour before serving. If you are making a ramen soup, the thin noodles only take about 10 to 15 minutes to cook if your crock-pot is on the high setting.

You will also find recipes that need the pasta added at the very beginning. An example of this type of dish would be crock-pot lasagna. Macaroni and cheese is also nice and creamy in the crock-pot, but it is a dish that only takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours to cook. Leaving it any longer will result in mushy noodles. Baked ziti, stuffed shells, and thicker casseroles will have this requirement. Watch your cooking time, because these dishes often do not take all day to cook. Overcooked noodles will be soft and shapeless.

Pasta does just fine in the crock-pot. All you need to do for success is to use the right approach for each recipe. Pasta is more delicate than something like beans are, so keep an eye on the cooker until you know how the recipe will work. Sometimes it may take a few times to get it right.

You will soon be feeding your family delicious meals featuring pasta from your crock-pot. Pasta is true comfort food, and it has never been easier then when you master the skill of simple slow cooked pasta dish that the family will just adore. So next time you make pasta instead of leaving the crock-pot to collect dust in the cupboard take it out and discover how easy crock-pot pasta is.

When the weather outside warms up, the kitchen can be a terrible place to be. There are many things you can do however, when it comes to cooking a nice home made meal that doesn’t require traditional stove top or oven cooking. Learn to utilize some of the lesser heat producing equipment in your kitchen, such as the crock pot, in order to truly beat the summer heat and keep your cool while preparing a nice hot meal for friends and family.

So, how does crock pot cooking really help beat the heat? Simply put, the crock pot in and of itself puts off far less heat when cooking than an oven or stove top. This is the first and possibly the best reason to utilize the crock pot in your summer meal planning. You should also consider the fact that by not heating the house by using your stove top or oven you are also preventing your air conditioning (or other cooling methods) from working overtime in order to compensate for the additional heat that other cooking methods introduce.

This makes crock pot cooking a win-win situation as the costs involved in operating a crock pot are far less than the costs involved in operating a stove or oven in general. Whether electric or gas, your stove and oven are often serious energy hogs. Add to that the fact that you are not raising the temperature in your home by traditional means of cooking and you are using even less electricity.

Unfortunately for most, the general consensus has been that crock pots were meant for comfort foods and hearty winter meals. The truth is that the crock pot should be one of your best loved and most often utilized cooking methods if you can manage it. When it comes to cooking with a crock pot, the options are almost limitless. Almost anything that can be baked can be made in the crock pot and many, many more wonderful and enticing meals and treats as well.

Benefits of Crock Pot Cooking

In addition to the cost benefits mentioned above when it comes to crock pot cooking there are many other benefits that are well worth mentioning. First of all, the bulk of the work involved in crock pot cooking takes place early in the day when you are refreshed rather than at the end of a hectic work or play day. This means that you are less likely to forget an ingredient or make other mistakes that often occur as we hurriedly prepare a dinner when we are exhausted from the activities of our day.

Second, many great crock pot recipes include the vegetables that insure we are getting the nutrients we need. So often, when preparing a meal at the last minute, vegetables and other side dishes are left out in favor of expedience. Crock pot cooking in many instances is a meal in one dish.

Another great reason to use a crock pot for your summertime cooking is the ease of clean up. Unlike pots and pans, most crock pot meals are made in one dish. This means that there will not be mountains of dishes to be either hand washed or loaded into the dishwasher (or if you are like me-both) afterwards. You can spend less time cleaning just as you spent less time slaving over a hot stove. Oh wait! Make that no time slaving over a hot stove. Once clean up is complete you can get back to enjoying the sun set, chasing the lightening bugs with your little ones, or waiting for the first star.

While there will never be a one size fits all best cooking method, crock pot cooking comes very close. If you have a crock pot collecting dust somewhere in the back of your pantry it is time to get it out, dust if off, and dig up some great summertime crock pot cooking recipes.

Bear one thing in mind when potting orchids: Don’t use glazed or painted earthenware pots! Though decorative, they are damaging to plant growth. They keep the compost overwatered and underaired - both fatal to orchids. Otherwise, potting orchids - except for the trick of packing osmunda - is no different from potting azaleas or begonias.

Select a clean pot several inches wider than the broadest basal width of a terrestrial orchid. Soak it for a few minutes in tepid water, then drain. Place coarse gravel, small rocks, or crocks (bits of broken pots) in the bottom third of the pot.

Add several large handfuls of compost and shape to a cone, the top of which is on a level with the lower rim of the pot. Spread the roots of the terrestrial orchid carefully and evenly around the cone, and fill with additional compost. Firm the compost lightly to settle it - never pack it - and water thoroughly. Later, water sparingly until growth is established.

Some deciduous orchids, as Calanthe vestita, lose their roots. Push their pseudobulbs into the compost just far enough to hold them erect. Other terrestrials, those without pseudobulbs such as Oncidium cavendishianum, may have to be wired or staked to the top of the compost since their leaves would rot if covered.

The first time you attempt to pot a tree orchid in osmunda you will find yourself using the least desirable words in your vocabulary. There is a definite trick in handling osmunda. Old-time growers regarded potting as the most distasteful part of orchid culture.

It was once believed that osmunda had to be packed into pots with great pressure, using special sticks as levers. If, when you lifted an orchid by its foliage, the osmunda came free from the pot your education in orchid culture was considered highly dubious

POTTING EPIPHYTES IN OSMUNDA

It is now believed that such extreme measures are not advisable. As long as osmunda stays securely in place, holding its shape when knocked out of the pot, orchids will do satisfactorily. The trick in potting with osmunda is to handle it while it is slightly damp. It is pliable then and packs more easily. When it dries out it stiffens enough to firm itself in the pot.

Here is how you go about potting epiphytes. Take enough pieces of osmunda, sometimes called “orchid peat,” to fill several pots. Soak the osmunda overnight in a pail of water. The following morning leave the pieces in a cool, dry, shady place. In the evening when you come home they should be just right for potting. They will feel soft, pliable, and somewhat damp - not wet - to your touch.

Take a clean pot at least two inches wider in diameter than the base of the orchid, soak it in tepid water for a few moments, then dry it out a bit. Soaking is not always necessary, but it helps the osmunda slide down the clay sides of the pot. Set the pot on its base and add enough gravel or crocks to fill it one-third.

Take the orchid in your left hand, the base (rhizome) resting on top of your thumb and forefinger. Smooth the roots over the back of your hand. Select a piece of osmunda as nearly conical in shape as possible. Put it beneath the base of the orchid, touching the rhizome.

Spread the roots around it. With other pieces of osmunda - slightly less in length than two-thirds the depth of the pot - cover the roots. Work outward, in a circle, until the osmunda covering the roots is a little larger in diameter than the top of the pot. Squeeze the osmunda with both hands, pressing it into the pot with a sliding motion.

Further packing is accomplished by inserting the fingers of your left hand between the osmunda and the side of the pot. In the gap so formed slip another small piece of osmunda. Turn the pot slightly and repeat the process. Keep turning, squeezing, and adding osmunda until you have to exert some pressure; then stop.

Now you can pot your orchids knowing exactly how you should go about it.

Okay, so these two recipes are from my favorite site and yes, they are my favorites to make. I can make the Vegetarian Minestrone early in the morning, let it cook, let it smell my house up with goodness. Then after it’s done I can make the Baked Apples and let that cook, and let that fill my home up with even more goodness. Mmmm, I’m getting hungry just typing this right now.

Okay, without further adue…

Vegetarian Minestrone

1 medium onion, chopped

2 medium carrots, thinly sliced

2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 red bell pepper, seeded, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 medium zucchini, scrubbed, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 14 1/2 oz. can vegetable broth

1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes

2 15 1/2 oz. cans kidney beans, drained

2 tsp. dried marjoram

1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper

1 1/2 cups cooked rice

Add all ingredients except rice to crock pot. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours (high 4 to 5 hours). Add cooked rice and stir to combine. Serves 8 guests. Then transform it into a seperate bowl (unless you have another pot to go into the crock pot) and get ready to make dessert….

Baked Apples

6 medium or large apples

4 tbs peanut butter

1 tbs cinnamon

First take out the core of the apples. Then combine the peanut butter and cinnamon together. Whipped peanut butter seems to work best. Fill the cores with the peanut butter and cinnamon mix and place the apples in the Crockpot on a low setting for about 4 hours. Once finished, the apples can be eaten whole or cut up in pieces.

Okay, there you go. If you want more from my favorite crockpot recipe site, visit it! Crockpot-recipes.com

I’m a beef lover, a fish lover, a turkey lover and a pork lover. But overall, I’m definitely a chicken lover more than anything else. I found these two recipes on my favorite crock pot recipe site www.crockpot-recipes.com. I love them, and trust me,  you’ll love them too!

Chicken Marsala Recipe

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup of flour

1/4 cup Chopped parsley

1/2 cup Marsala wine

1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

Directions:

Mix most of the flour with the salt and pepper and cover the chicken breast in this mixture. In a skillet brown the chicken breast on both sides and place in the Crockpot. Add the wine and mushrooms to the skillet and let heat for about 10 minutes, while tossing and stirring. Sprinkle the left over flour onto the chicken breast and pour the sauce over. Allow to cook on low for 6 hours. Use the parsley to garnish the finished chicken marsala.

Hawaiian Chicken in a Crockpot

Ingredients:

Hawaiian Marinade from Mrs. Lowry’s

1 med can of pineapple chunks (juice and all)

2-4 chicken breasts

Directions:

Marinade the chicken for a couple hours before cooking.

Fully cook the chicken in the oven or in a frying pan. Place all the ingredients into your crock pot on low for 4-6hrs. About 20 minutes before serving add 1-2tbs of flour and stir to thicken sauce.

Cooking your chicken in a crockpot? Here’s a tip:

Never store chicken at room temperature or inside Crockpot for very long as this gives chance for bacteria growth. Whatever any chicken or poultry has touched should not be reused until having been cleaned thoroughly in order to prevent spreading bacteria. Always cook chicken well done where there is no pink juices or meat.

A slow cooker or a crock pot is an appliance that offers convenient preparation of meals. There are things that should be considered when finding the perfect slow cooker for your kitchen.

Slow cookers are great for cooking side dishes, entrees, stews and soups. They are versatile enough, especially in preparing specialty foods, cakes and other desserts. It can simplify preparation of everyday meals.

Slow cookers have built-in heating elements, along with an insulated shell and an inner cooking chamber. It is usually made of glass or stoneware which operates through heat transfer. A crock pot is not only convenient. It also has the ability to prepare affordable dishes, saving you valuable time.

One of the things to consider when purchasing a slow cooker is the number of people you need to feed. Crock pots come in many different sizes from 1 pint to 7 quart capacities. Small sizes can feed 1 to 2 persons only, measured only in ounces. A large 4 to 6 quart slow cooker is much better for a crowd or big families.

Slow cookers come in oval or round shapes. A 4-quart cooker requires 12 inches wide by 9 inches high size. Large ones occupy from 14 to 19 inches. The smallest unit is best when making hot dips. The large sizes can prepare a batch of family sized beef stews. The crock pot size should fit in your needs to avoid inefficient cooking.

New product innovations have included multiple interchangeable liners. These replicate a slow barbeque roaster that can cook two different foods at the same time.

Crock pots have traditional and programmable settings. These include plug-ins, low and high warming selections, and to programmable features. High-tech settings include start and end timers, keep-warm, automatic shut-off and temperature controls. Programmable crock pots can lessen instances of overcooking or undercooking food.

Units with digital display screens let you see the elapsed cooking time with a touch of a button. There are certain models that enable changing temperature settings of the unit about half-way through the cooking process. Digital displays cost much higher as compared to ordinary models.

Slow cookers with temperature gauges are used for checking cooking progress. It is more useful in cooking larger meat cuts. It uses an internal temperature or probe inserted to the meat. The unit switches to warm when the meat reaches the ideal temperature.

Some of the non-digital units come in keep-warm settings to retain the ideal serving temperature of the food.

Most slow cookers come in a particular design, from the simple floral trim to the classy theme designs on the base. The traditional white and green style is the most popular. It adds a visual appeal to the appliance.

Slow cookers have thick metal exteriors, a glass lid and a stoneware liner. A stainless steel model costs more. Crock pots should have a heating element on its sides, not only at the bottom. Most manufacturers add up an insulator or a plastic layer in order to minimize heat and scalding.

Slow cooker is sometimes called the crock pot. This is an electrical kitchen appliance capable of cooking meals in a low temperature. You could easily prepare for gourmet for the whole family using this. It cooks on slow temperatures to tenderize meat. This process is done to avoid overcooking or burning.

Meat is submerged in water or any mix while it slowly tenderizes. The liquid evaporates slowly in low heat. At the same time, the meat is able to absorb the flavors of the mixture. Even if you cook your meal in a longer period of time, the taste of the food would not change.

Not all foods will taste good when cooked with a crock pot. This is important to note so that you will be guided accordingly. Hence it is important to gather recipes and see which ones are okay with a slow cooker.

Try to experiment on your own also and see if you could deviate from some recipes. This is important so that you and your family can enjoy a new kind of recipe.

First introduced in 1971, the Crock-Pot revolutionized the way we cook meals. The word Crock-Pot is actually trademarked by Rival Industries, but is used in every day conversations instead of the term slow cooker. Many recipes for the crock-pot require little preparation. The slow cooker can then safely be left to run unattended, making it a convenient cooking method.

Crock-pot meals can not only save you time in the kitchen, but they can also save you money as well. The reasons are as follows:

1. It keeps you out of the fast food line. If you had not loading up the crock-pot with the ingredients this morning you’d likely be in the drive through line at the local fast food restaurant this afternoon after work, grabbing a meal for your family for the help www.chef-123.com. The average fast food meal for a family of four rings up over $20.

2. Stretches your dollar. Most crock-pot recipes and meals can truly stretch your food dollar. Because you can put a whole chicken in the crock-pot to cook then cut it up for several meals, you can stretch your budget with the use your leftovers.

3. Cuts your grocery budget. You can save money at the butcher since the slow cooking process is especially useful to tenderize cheaper cuts of meat.

4. Saves on your energy bill. Instead of running a larger appliance like the stove you are running one small energy conservative appliance, the crock-pot, saving on your energy costs. 

The convenience of the slow cooker not only saves you time, but will also save you money. Don’t you think it’s time to take it out of your closet (or wherever you have it packed away collecting dust) and make a Crock-Pot meal today?

After owning and operating a Cajun Seafood Restaurant and winning the best crawfish in Houston, I have noticed that many people and restaurants don’t know how to cook crawfish the proper way. That is why I wrote the three top mistakes people make when boiling up crawfish. Here we go

1) Not purging, cleaning and throwing away the dead crawfish

The quickest way to ruin a crawfish boil is to not clean or throw away the dead crawfish. No matter how well you season and cook the crawfish, you will never get rid of the gritty, sandy taste if you do not purge and clean them. While you are cleaning the crawfish, they must be sorted, pulling out the dead ones. If you cook the dead crawfish, the tail meat will be extra chewy or will just fall apart and has a very sour rotten taste.

2) Sprinkling the seasoning on the outside of the crawfish

Real boiled crawfish has the great Cajun flavored cooked all the way through to the meat. Sprinkling crawfish boil on the outside does not compare to cooking the crawfish correctly for the help www.150-venison-recipes.com. When one sprinkles the seasoning on the out top on the shells, obviously the flavor will not be in the meat. The flavor you will taste is from the seasoning rubbing on to your fingers.

3) Not using enough seasoning and ingredients

Yes, for certain items less is more, but not necessarily for crawfish. Some people believe that just using crawfish boil is enough but if you want authentic New Orleans flavor you need to spice it up. Although every Cajun has their own secret spices, some of the spices I like to use include sugar, salt, bay leaves, margarine, butter, grilled garlic, cayenne, celery, Cajun seasoning, Crawfish Boil powder and liquid?ou get the idea.

Crock-pot cooking can offer some very tasty meals and desserts however some basic rules should be followed when using a crock-pot to cook with. You should be careful not to over stir their food while it’s cooking in a crock pot. Taking the lid off during cooking causes vast amounts of heat to escape, therefore the food should only be stirred if it is clearly stated in the recipe.

Some elements can only be added at the end of the cooking time. When using milk and sour cream be sure to wait until the last fifteen minutes of cooking time before adding these ingredients. For more detail go to: www.dishadvice.com.Unless the recipe states otherwise, seafood only needs to be included during the last hour of cooking time.

Pasta and rice cook requirements are quite different for crock-pot cooking. For the best results with pasta, cook in boiling water until just tender, and then add the pasta to the main dish during the last thirty minutes of cooking time. You should also try to use long grain converted rice for the best results. If the rice does not appear cooked completely through, you can add another 1-1.5 cups of liquid per cup of rice. Always boil beans before adding them to the crock-pot for cooking.

Frozen foods can be used in crock-pot cooking. For more detail go to:www.camping-outdoors-recipes.com.When cooking frozen means you should use at least one cup of warm liquid along with the meat. When preparing these types of meals you should all for and additional four to six hours on low temperature or two hours on high.

Contrary to popular belief, cooking raw meat in the crock-pot is very safe. During the cooking process, the meat’s internal temperature reaches approximately 170 degrees in beef and 190 degrees in poultry. Two important things to remember however is to always cook the meat for its complete time recommended in the recipe recommend time. Secondly, do not remove the lid on the slow cooker. There is no requirement to brown meat beforehand unless the you prefer the look and taste of browned meat.

When cooking in a crock-pot the best flavors will come from whole herbs and spices. Crushed herbs and spices rapidly lose their flavor during the long cooking time, but whole spices keep their flavor during the entire cooking time because they take longer to let go of their flavor.

Crock-pots can be used to make desserts and baked goods as well. You should be sure not to over beat breads and cakes; and should always follow the recommended recipe guidelines. Never add water to the crock-pot unless it specifically says to do so. Always allow cakes and breads to sit and cool for five to seven minutes before taking them out of the pan.

Vegetables like potatoes and carrots should be cut no larger than 1″ thick, and put in the bottom of the pot, since they require more time to cook. Crock-pot cooking can be delicious for both meals and desserts when some basic guidelines are followed.

Slow cookers and crock pots are very useful in the kitchen. It gives out the best flavors of foods.

Slow cookers are electrical cooking gadgets that keep a low temperature for long hours for unsupervised slow cooking. Slow cookers are also called crock pots. They are commonly placed on countertops. It is used to cook food requiring low heat and long cooking time.

A slow cooker is usually made of porcelain or ceramic enclosed in metal housing with heating element controlled by a thermostat. The pot cover is commonly transparent glass to see what’s cooking inside. The pot both serves as a container of the food to be cooked and also a source of heat. They come in many sizes, from ½ liter to 7 liters.

A common slow cooker operates at maximum heat of 190 to 200oF. The temperature while it cooks is below 212oF or 100oC, approximately 160oF on low temperature setting. A steady heat from 175 to 200oF is retained by the heating element.

As a general guide, a low setting is used for cheap cuts of mutton, venison, beef, lamb and other red meat. It softens the connective tissues and takes 10 to 12 hours.

Medium setting is used for red meats. High setting is more for pale meat like chicken. This setting cooks faster for about three to four hours with temperature a little higher than that of medium setting.

Auto cook makes food taste better than those cooked with temperature setting of low or medium according to some actual tests. The automatic cook setting initially cooks on high temperature then shifts to low and maintain that temperature continuously. Some slow cookers do not have this setting.

The keep-warm is sometimes referred to as hold setting. It prevents the food from getting cold while keeping its flavor and preventing it from drying out. The slow cooker automatically shifts to keep-warm when the cooking time is reached. It is useful when the crock pot is going to be unattended longer than the required cooking time.

The indicator light is a useful visual aid to know that the slow cooker is on and working.

Check the power cord if it has enough length to reach the power source. Using extension cord is dangerous because liquids might be spilt into it and possibly causes a fire. It is a good idea to purchase a crock pot with a removable liner for the simple reason that it is much easier to clean.

Cheaper cuts of meat when cooked for a short period can be difficult to chew because of its connective tissue and muscles. But then long boiling can dissolve the connective tissue making them dry and hard. Slow cooker’s long and slow cooking will make the tissue soft and the muscle easy to chew.

There are some disadvantages in slow cooking. Sometimes through the process the food loses significant nutrients and vitamins. Enzymes are quickly denaturized when heated at high temperature, giving them less time to act throughout the cooking time.

Vegetables also have a tendency to lose nutrients when its enzymes are not denatured rapidly, as slow cookers cook at heat considerably below the boiling point. Vitamins are retained well when vegetables are quickly cooked because its cells do not potentially lose acids.

Some beans contains toxin that can be eliminated by continually boiling for 10 minutes or longer. It is recommended to boil raw beans before cooking in slow cookers to prevent food poisoning.

Rump roast or round steak is very easy to prepare and great for serving a large group of people. Rump roast can be served with just about any side dish you can imagine and is very versatile. It is also very tasty and has a very low fat content but it can also be tough if not prepared properly. By using a few different cooking techniques you will learn what methods and recipes you like best. The following three recipes are simple to prepare and will leave your guests wanting more.

Baked Rump Roast

This is about the easiest recipe you will find for rump roast but it turns out very good. Simply use about a four pound rump roast with one can or packet of french onion soup and a few tablespoons of vinegar. After placing the roast in a pan, pour the vinegar on it and set it an a preheated 350 degree oven. After the roast has cooked for an hour, add the onion soup to the pan and place back in the oven for about three more hours.

Italian Rump Roast In The Crock Pot

This is a very unique and tasty recipe that is also easy to prepare. Add a couple cans of tomato sauce, Italian seasoning mix, and a large jar of spagehhti sauce to a three or four pound roast. Put everything in your crock pot and season with garlic salt. Now top the roast with about a half cup of chopped onions and cook for a bout seven hours on the low setting. Serve over rice or pasta.

Grilled Rump Roast

This is my personal favorite and if you are short on time, this will be your best bet. You will need a four or five pound roast, a packet of onion soup mix, and a quarter cup of both mustard and water. The first thing you will need to do is brush the mustard on to the meat. Then you will drizzle the onion soup mix on the roast and then roll the meat in aluminum foil. Now simply grill the roast for about two hours over medium heat and you are ready to serve.

All three of these recipes are delicious and easy to prepare. You will just need to decide which one suits your taste.

For container gardening ideas, scan the internet, the library or a bookstore. The challenge is to come up with a lovely container garden plan. There are a widespread collection of containers available for your container garden. These range in size from small-scale house-plant pots to sizeable boxes and planters. Equally varied are the materials from which they are made. These include wood, glass, clay, aluminum, bamboo, straw, plastic, fiberglass, terra cotta, tin, cast iron, zinc, copper, and brass, each with select advantages and disadvantages. What you choose will depend on availability, price, background, and attraction not to mention the characteristics of the gardening pots.

Here are some container gardening ideas. In addition to run-of-the-mill circular pots and tubs, there are modern and ultra-modern forms such as square, rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, and octagonal. Also eligible are old iron kitchen pots, kettles, pails, jugs, casks, vases, crocks, jam tubs, barrels and nail kegs, Japanese fish tubs, aged sinks, bathtubs, bamboo soy tubs. There are novelty containers such as driftwood, wheelbarrows, donkey carts, spinning wheels and boxes attached to a roadside mail container. There are also bird cages, decorative well heads, animal figures, and Strawberry jars. Woven baskets may be used to conceal unattractive containers. Even tar paper pots, handled by garden centers and florists are worthy if painted or veiled to upgrade their exterior. Any of these can be used in your container gardening ideas.

Where to find your container supplies? Begin with what you possess. If you explore cellars or basements, attics, garages, and sheds, you will doubtless encounter objects of interest. Old-fashioned pots and kettles, usually sold in antique shops at rural auctions or observed at old New England inns, have much attraction.

Different container garden ideas to ponder are old cookie and bean jars, pickle and other types of crocks, wash tubs, coal pails, jardinières, and ceramic bowls. For drainage, scatter a thick layer of substantial pebbles or shattered pieces of pots or bricks at the bottom and then moisten plants with care. In substantial containers, drainage material should be many inches thick. Where rainfall is hefty, be certain to keep garden containers without drainage outlets on porches, below awnings or the under sizable eaves of house. With pails and old galvanized wash tubs, holes can be easily punctured at the bottom.

Plants in containers without drainage openings stay wet longer. Some of these—crocks, jardinières and cookie jars—are massive enough to be secure against the elements in exterior container gardening.

What constitutes the perfect container for your container garden ideas? A container needs to be attractive, even if it is not an object of art. It should be sturdy and lasting and able to resist all kinds of weather. This is especially true of the substantial sizes which ofttimes continue outdoors all year around. In the North, alternate icy and thawing is a predicament in winter (and could generate cracking); in blazing climates, intensive heat, humidity, and moisture are to be considered (and could cause fading). And in semiarid areas, there is the impact of searing sun to keep your attention, another source of fading. All these things need be kept in mind when coming up with your container gardening design.

The perfect container must be vast enough to hold a sizeable quantity of soil. It should have super drainage facilities through holes or various openings at the bottom or sides. It must not rust, at least in a single season, and it should have a wide enough base to perch firmly wherever placed. Further, it needs to be heavy enough to withstand average winds. In severe storms, like hurricanes and tornadoes, movable containers can be shifted to interim safety. All of these things should be factored in when you are coming up with your container gardening ideas.

Resistance to rot is another requisite. Wooden containers—except those made of rot-resistant Redwood, Western Cedar, and Southern Red Cypress—will require treatment with a wood preservative. Except for lifelong containers, the capability to move your container garden is another quality, and sometimes a safety precaution, of portable container gardening. Sizable boxes and planters can be equipped with wheels, and garden centers have redwood tubs that perch on platforms with wheels. An opening in the platform corresponds to the hole in the tub. Sizeable containers without wheels can be pushed on iron or wooden rollers by two or more people; however, if you live in an area inclined to severe storms it is best to keep your containers small-scaled.

Smaller containers are ideal for cultivating herb container gardens. If you plan to plant an herb container garden be imaginative. Here are some container garden ideas for herbs that go great together.

* For an Italian selection try Sweet Basil, Italian Parsley, Oregano, Marjoram and Thyme.

* For a pleasing scented container use Lavender, Rose Scented Geranium, Lemon Balm, Lemon Thyme, and Pineapple Sage.

* For utterly extravagant salads try Garlic Chives, Rocket, Salad Burnet, Parsley, Celery.

* And to say “We love French Cooking!” use Tarragon, Chervil, Parsley, Chives and Sage.

Any of these will liven up your meal and please your family.

So these are just a few container gardening ideas. Get out a pad of paper and make up a container garden plot that will add to the view and conceivably even the palate.

Happy Container Gardening!

Imagine getting home from work to the tantalizing smell of dinner, ready to dish out, hot and delicious. For a busy working mom, corporate couple or live-alone single, that’s a dream that doesn’t seem likely, unless you can afford your own chef. But it’s not unattainable. All you need is one handy-dandy little appliance that will simplify your life and have you dishing up your dinner before you even kick off your good shoes.

They’re an old stand-by from the 70s, and they’re making a huge comeback. Crock pots, also known as slow cookers, are one of the handiest tools for a busy working woman - or man, for that matter. For more details go to www.chow-chows-secrets.com. With a crock pot, you can spend ten minutes of prep time before you leave for work in the morning, flip it on, and return home in the evening to a fully cooked meal - nutritious, delicious and far less expensive than takeout.

I grew up with a crock pot in the house, but it was seldom used. My grandmother was home full time, and it was far more common for her to slow cook on top of the stove. When I moved out on my own, those delicious slow-simmered dishes that were a staple of my diet were out of reach. I didn’t have time to stay at home and stir the pot. I turned to convenience meals and microwave cookery, but I missed the wonderful meals I grew up with - coq au van, slow simmered spaghetti sauce, beef stew, stewed chicken and baked beans.

That all changed when I discovered a recipe for ‘Mom’s Busy Day Chicken’ in a recipe book offered by, of all places, the La Lecher League. The recipe was incredibly simple - just put one cut up chicken in a crock pot, add two cans of stewed tomatoes and an onion, and flip the crock pot to low, and then walk away for six to eight hours. I was skeptical, but I tried it - and the results quickly became a family favorite. The chicken was tender enough to fall off the bone, and flavored through and through with spices and tomato sauce. The sauce was thickened and perfect for spooning over rice or pasta and best of all, it was nutritious and healthy.

Why is crock pot cooking so great?

1. You don’t have to watch the pot.

They say a watched pot never boils - neither does a crock pot. When you set the crock pot’s temperature to low, you can be sure that the food inside will cook at temperatures low enough to avoid overcooking, and high enough to prevent the formation of harmful bacteria.

2. Ten minutes in the morning makes a home-cooked meal in the evening.

Prep time for crock pot cooking is almost none. Cut up your ingredients, add them to the pot, cover it and walk away. The most elaborate recipes may require that you cut things uniformly or that you layer ingredients in a particular order, but all it takes is a few minutes in the morning, and you’ll come home to a home-cooked meal at the end of the day.

3. Cleanup is quick and easy!

Crock pots used to be a real hassle to clean, but no more. Today’s crock pots feature removable liners so washing the pot is as simple as washing a dish. Just lift out the liner and wash. You can even put most in the dishwasher. You can also visit us at www.cooking-groundbeef.com.  In addition, slow cooking means no crusty crud to scrub off.

4. Convenient features let you time things perfectly.

One of the drawbacks of crackpot cooking used to be overcooking. Let that meat simmer too long, and you ended up with unpalatable mush. Today’s crock pots feature timers that turn the crock pot off when it’s time, or lower the temperature when needed.

5. Slow cookers are energy efficient.

What? You thought that leaving your slow cooker plugged in and cooking all day was a waste of energy? Think again. A crock pot uses wraparound heat to cook the food, without wasting all the heat that would simmer away in an oven or stove top. You actually use less energy.

If you have a slow cooker tucked away somewhere, pull it out and give it a try. You’ll find dozens of recipes that break the traditional “mushy” meals syndrome that has given crock pots a bad name. Test a few, and you’ll find yourself upgrading to a new family friendly model so you can treat your family to wonderful, tasty, home cooked meals with almost no effort.

Most people are completely unaware of it, but in the Deep South pot cooking is a specialty. Soups just don’t fit into a southerners diet. Rather they prefer stews that can be eaten alone with a nice big hunk of warm bread or ladled over a plate full of rice.

In fact if you were walk into any restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans, back in the kitchen they will have someone who carries the title of “pot cook”. This will be the chef thats responsible for anything that is slow cooked in a pot and there is a veritable cornucopia of dishes prepared this way down there.

The one thing that too many crock pot cooks fail to do, is to prepare a rue to base their stew off of. This is done by pouring about a half a cup of veritable oil into a pan and than adding about a half a cup of plain white flour to it. Carefully stir the rue on light heat until it’s a nice dark golden brown but “not burnt”.

A nicely prepared rue is why so many of the simpler crock pot recipes such as leek & potato stew that you will find in the south will leave you wanting to lick your plate. Now making a perfect rue does take a little practice, so if your’s has burnt taste when it’s done then  toss it out. A rue should have a nice nutty flavor.

If beans aren’t your cup of tea then you haven’t tried beans the way they’re cooked in Southern Louisiana. They take beans serriously down there and the finished pruduct reflects this well. You’re going to have to cook your beans all day in a crock pot until they are the consistency of a gravy. Also don’t forget to toss in some bacon or pork fat.

Crock pot cooking has a glorious past! In grandma’s day the crock pot was called the slow cooker. She would load it up with roast beef and potatoes, or chicken and vegetables, and let it simmer all day long, filling the house with the delicious aroma. Crock pot cooking makes it easy to cook a meal to perfection. Tender morsels, rich sauces and broths, all combine in a meal that would have been difficult to achieve without crock pot cooking. Conventional cooking usually requires a good deal of time and energy, two things which are in short supply in this busy age. Most working people these days don’t have the time to stand around watching the stove. Crock pot cooking is the answer for old fashioned nutritious meals. Throw a few good ingredients in the pot in the morning, and come home that evening to a tasty meal just like

grandma used to make!

Crock pot cooking is easier than ever before. Temperature systems and timing mechanisms allow precise control. Electronic safeguards allow cooks to put their minds at rest and go on with their day, knowing that the crock pot is doing what it’s designed to do. Some models are even designed to be microwavable, which is great for reheating leftovers. Cleaning up after crock pot cooking is made easier too! Surfaces are dishwasher-safe and Teflon coated, making clean-up a breeze.
