I'd have one, if not for the bad memories.. Kel Send a noteboard - 28/12/2011 02:49:04 PM

I've heard horror stories of them exploding on people etc ... but I truly believe alot of that can be attributed to Operator Error.

So stoked to try out a pot roast tomorrow ... with a whole day off to enjoy I may do two or three meals just for experimentation sake ...

Did your gradma have any particular dishes she used to specialize in? I am settled that pot roast and corned beef will be mainstays for me, but I am looking to branch out in the recipe department ...

Hope your holidays were pleasant, Kel, good to see ya

-Tom


I remember when I was a little kid, we had one nearly explode at home.. it sprayed chicken broth all over the ceiling in the kitchen when the cap popped off the top. I think my Dad just got the thing too hot. It got so hot that the steam sprayed all of the liquid out of the pot, it was completely empty when we opened it up.

My Grandma made lots of pot roast and veggies in it.. I still remember how moist and tender the meat was. Like you, I only remember the pot roast, corned beef, but my Dad liked to use it to cook down whole chickens for chicken noodle soup.

Just a quick look on Allrecipes.com found a bunch of recipes.. BBQ, pork tenderloin, beef stew, tons of different soups.

Our Christmas was great.. first year with the kids, and our little boy Rocky is 3, so Christmas is magical to him. He knows about Santa and knows how it works. Sophie is 2, so she was just picking up random presents and opening them, didn't really matter if they were hers or not. We have so much to be thankful for this year.

How was your Christmas?

Oh. Well it's probably for the best then. Sareitha Sedai - 27/12/2011 05:17:44 PM 1053 Views
Ha! Just make sure you wash your eggs before cracking them. Vivien - 27/12/2011 05:33:52 PM 1119 Views
Use caution when washing eggs... Avendesora - 27/12/2011 08:50:37 PM 1205 Views
What? Why would you wash an egg? I've never heard of this. *NM* Tim - 27/12/2011 11:33:57 PM 670 Views
This is news to me too. Nate - 28/12/2011 12:30:00 AM 1183 Views
Ha, don't listen to me, I know nothing about this. Vivien - 28/12/2011 01:36:34 AM 1109 Views
Aha. That makes sense. Nate - 28/12/2011 05:26:47 AM 1189 Views
That's a relief. You can't eat raw egg in this country anyway, so I don't need to change any habits. Tim - 28/12/2011 10:37:47 AM 1051 Views
Is there a law? Nate - 28/12/2011 03:29:39 PM 1119 Views
What I mean is that everybody considers it unsafe to eat raw eggs. Tim - 28/12/2011 06:37:17 PM 1080 Views
I didn't know that. Nate - 28/12/2011 07:54:37 PM 1150 Views
It is suggested in the US that you cook the yolk to solid too. Avendesora - 30/12/2011 11:58:10 AM 1023 Views
