Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Pineapple teriyaki pork tenderloin

    • Aggie92 on December 09, 2022

      Recipe calls for 6 hours on low and my pork tenderloin was way overcooked at 5 hours. Should have checked it much sooner. Flavor wise, the sauce was pretty good. Used the entire (small) can of crushed pineapple and cut the brown sugar back to 1 tablespoon. Thickened the sauce with a little cornstarch and dry sherry at the end. I think this recipe would be much better with a more forgiving piece of meat, like country ribs or chicken thighs.

  • Rum-glazed baby back ribs

    • TrishaCP on March 09, 2019

      These came out quite well, although I wasn’t a fan of the sauce. (Too rum forward.) Maybe I mangled the rib placement, but this isn’t a dump it and leave it recipe if you want your ribs cooked evenly.

  • Overnight oatmeal

    • TrishaCP on February 01, 2021

      I had to make the largest amount due to the size of my slow cooker. I cooked my oats for 8 hours and they were perfectly creamy. This is a great base if you are feeding a crowd who likes to customize their oatmeal.

  • Oat, barley, and apple porridge

    • Astrid5555 on February 14, 2014

      Quite bland right out of the slow cooker, however really delicious after adding desiccated coconut, pecans and ground cinnamon. Smallest quantity-recipe yields 5 days of breakfast. Reheats well.

  • Quinoa vanilla bean porridge

    • Astrid5555 on March 04, 2014

      Disappointing! I so very much wanted this recipe to work, since I love everything with quinoa. However, this one was really bland and mushy like all the other breakfast porridge recipes. Not sure whether I will attempt another slowcooker breakfast recipe.

  • Buckwheat porridge with figs and dates

    • Astrid5555 on February 20, 2014

      Again, quite bland and very mushy right out of the slow cooker. I prefer my buckwheat with some bite. However, adding desiccated coconut, pecans and some almond milk transformed this into a nice breakfast for a cold winter day. Reheats well.

  • Chicken thighs with celery root and sour cream

    • Astrid5555 on November 02, 2014

      Disappointing! This recipe required a lot of prework before adding everything to the slow cooker. The liquid consisted only of wine and mustard which made for a very alcocholic tasting and overwhelming sauce. On top, after 6 hours in the slow cooker the celeriac and carrots were still crunchy. The meat was ok, but noth worth the effort.

  • Salmon with tomatoes and black olives

    • Astrid5555 on February 23, 2014

      Very little hands-on time with a great result. The tomatoes and olives make for a delicious sauce/topping. Served over Kamut couscous.

  • Chocolate cinnamon bread pudding

    • trudys_person on January 23, 2015

      Pretty good recipe - lends itself to variations as far as the bread used. I used a cranberry-raisin bread, and didn't bother to toast it (first step in the recipe). I found it annoying that the recipe specifies 1-inch cubes of bread in the ingredient list, then says in the notes that "smaller" cubes are better. Also, as in many of these slow cooker dessert recipes, I wonder what is the point of using the slow cooker. The small version of recipe cooks for 1 1/2 hours, and it would probably take less time in the oven - and it would get a nice crispy top crust in the oven.

  • Chicken leg quarters with mushrooms and leeks

  • Red chicken enchilada casserole

    • vikingcook on February 29, 2024

      This is ok. But easy. I used Costco rotisserie chicken, a jar of enchilada sauce and Tillamook sharp cheddar.

  • Chile-peanut pork loin

    • vikingcook on February 29, 2024

      Very good! Used Eliot’s Spicy Thai Peanut Butter, a locally made peanut butter.

  • Texas-style pork chili

    • vikingcook on February 29, 2024

      Yum! Be sure to make rice or cornbread to soak up the delicious juices!

  • Broccoli cheddar soup

    • vikingcook on February 19, 2017

      Delicious! Not really thick but still hearty. I would turn the heat up to high after adding the cheese to make sure it melts.

  • Porky navy bean soup

    • vikingcook on February 29, 2024

      Good! I used leftover ham & juice from a baked ham.

  • Shredded balsamic barbecued turkey

    • swegener on January 30, 2015

      This was delicious--I loved the sauce and the turkey was very good. I used a bone in hotel breast and it cooked a lot faster than the recipe indicated--which means if you use the blsl breast from the recipe it will probably cook even faster. Check at least half way through the cook time.

  • Fresh tomato soup

    • Newfiegirl on September 18, 2017

      This recipe tastes more like pizza sauce than tomato soup. Too much basil.
