Slow it Down…
Believe it or not my favourite time of the day is when I get to hide in the kitchen and cook dinner. No one is allowed in, I have my ear buds in with my tunes rockin…and more often than not and LARGE glass of wine in my hand.
Now on the flip side…the least fave part of my day is figuring out what the hell I am going to be cooking during my private rock concert moment…I think I would rather chew glass!
There is always one night a week where I LIE to my entire family…and spend my “Cooking Time” hiding in the kitchen…Pretendering to cook…Music blasting and phone and wine in hand while I play Bejewelled and Tweet for 45 minute…and I am totally Faking it…This is my Slow Cooker night…where my meal cooks it self. I merely have to slice some fresh bread, throw a salad together and VOILA…Culinary Perfection…
This is why I am so thrilled to be giving one of the Beauties away, thanks to the Fabulous Hamilton Beach!!!

It’s not that I’ve been too chicken to try, but every time I’ve tried to cook ribs, I’ve failed. And so I’ve stopped because I can never cook the perfect, fall of the bone, gooey rib that is so delicious…
oh this is easy Dee..first I always wanted a slow cooker knowing it will solve my cooking dilemmas and allow me to actually make a real meal..but what I really want to make is pulled pork!
Braised Lamb Shanks….I’ve never cooked lamb, and I know it’s delicious. Doing braised lamb would be amazing in a slow-cooker. I just have never been brave enough to try!

I’ve been a single mom now for almost 4 years and cooking for myself and a small child has been pretty easy up until now – grilled cheese sandwiches, soups, bite size veggies and fruits – pretty simple stuff, but now there is four of us, met someone really special this year – and my 30 year old brother is staying with me temporarily. That’s a lot of people to feed and I’m so frazzled on what to make for dinner everynight! Please help Hamilton Beach and Ghetto Foodie!!
Rack of lamb
Oh this scares me too…
I have always wanted to make Butter Chicken, but am too much of a chicken to try!
Pulled Pork hmmmmmm good
I love slow cooking. One of my favourite fancy foods to make is Coq au Vin, and I’d like to try it in the slow cooker, since the stovetop is a real pain in my tuches.
Ps. I’m following you all over plus I tweeted, since I need a new slow cooker. mine is tired.
Any kind of roast. Too scary to even contemplate.
Oh I suck at roasts…
But imagine the bragging rights if I could master it!
I know…I am sure my husband would love me that much more…lol
We cook our prime rib like this and it’s comes out perfect every time. SOOOO tasty.

Be Sure to leave your recipe comment…Cheers
slow cooking provides ease and there’s nothing better coming home from work to the aroma of a cooked meal

I have always wanted to try chicken gordon bleu b ut I don’t have the patience for the long preparation. I watched Julie & Julia today and was amazed at the lengthy preparations for making French food.
Oh I love that movie, and that would be such a fab dinner to try…on my list!
Ribs, i’ve heard they are awesome in the slow cooker but they are so particular. Ahhh
I’d love to try Slow-Baked Salmon with Carrot Cucumber Salad. Yummy!

Anything “en croute.” Pastry and I just don’t get along (until it’s come out of the oven, of course!)

I havev always wanted to try a cake in a slow cooker. I use mine a couple of times a week, with a fulltime job, a hubby on shift and three growing boys, it just makes sense, but my current slow cooker is too small. I would LOVE to win this Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker!!! So many yummy recipes to try!!
I have never made a cake in mine…going to try it…
meats. I always precook my meat before putting it in my crockpot. mind you my crockpot is circa 1979. Do they cook better now?>
I’ve always wanted to try making Gnocci, but haven’t gotten up the nerve yet.
Loved your article, I may also have hidden out in the kitchen on slow-cooker night a time or two!
I’ve always wanted to make home made pasta but I’m too chicken to try. I have liked and shared your site and tweeted you and about you. I am also following HB CanadaNews and like them too. Love reading everyone ‘s comments here!
Oh wow, there are tons of things I want to try. I have always wanted to make beef brisket…yummo!

I love to use the slow cooker. It’s even better when you come home wondering what you’re having for dinner and when you walk in the door you smell the cooker going and remember that dinner is done! I haven’t been very successful with whole chickens in the slow cooker though so I’d love to do that better and I am not a good rib maker, but love ribs so I’d love to learn how to do that better. One recipe I’ve never made is a souflé. Very intimidating!

Hi there, I have always wanted to make French Onion Soup in the slow cooker but I always thought it would not turn out. It seems to work on the stove, but a long process, and stirring.It would be amazing to try in a slow cooker, which I don’t have one yet!

Dee, I must admit to having committed a culinary crime. You see, I tried to make gumbo. Except that some of the ingredients I chose made it more like a Colombian gumbo (it has chorizo and trigusar in it, among other things).
Except that instead of Colombian gumbo, it’s more like “Colombo”. Yes, the Peter Falk character. All dishevelled and messy-looking, no one takes my Colombo seriously (which is also true of Detective Colombo).
What I’d LIKE is the ending that Peter Falk had, where in the moment of truth, everyone realized they should have known that Colombo would be amazing, and exceed everyone’s expectations.
That does NOT happen with the pink “Hello Kitty” pot with the heart-shaped handles.
I could really use this slow cooker to truly bring Colombo to life. But don’t do it for me. Do it for Peter Falk.
Going with the majority – Hubby loves Pulled Pork (I don’t eat pork…) but I’d love to win this to surprise him. Soooo need a new slow cooker as mine is too small. If I win I’ll be buying a slow cooker cookbook to find many yummy things to try in my new cooker! — entry #1
