Cooking all day

[Highway Star]

That is my favorite kind...the kind you start early in the morning, and let go all day. Every time you walk through the kitchen, it smells better and better.

3# Carrots
1# Celery
1# Onion
5# Potatoes
Seasoned Well

2 ea. 3# Pork Shoulder Roasts (seasoned well)

Make a bed with the vegetables, and lay the roasts over the top...add a couple cups water or stock and set on 275°

8 hours later.....(I touched them with the tongs and they fell apart)

I made this yesterday, fed the family dinner, and have enough leftover to eat for lunch a few times, and one night this week...for around $20

Oh man. Is that a big crock pot you cooked them in?

[grandsport]

Thank you Jakchel Ray.:)

A giant counter top roaster (just like a crock pot, but bigger, and more capable), identical to this...

Funny Gary. :rolleyes:Waving

[jnorton]

Sweet. I think my folks have one of these. I think it's time to cook.

[grumpy]

We have one of them counter top roasters and they are awesome. Used it once to make a pot of chili for near 50 people and it worked great ! Plus you can make a turkey in it if you want.

[grandsport]

What a crock this thread turned out to be.

[Highway Star]

Because of Jake, I actually went out and bought one and we did the Thanksgiving turkey in it - and it was done when it was supposed to be done and was delicious! Thanks, Jake!


That's awesome!!! Right on man. :D

[grandsport]

Haaaa! Yer gettin' me steamed, Gary!

You into the wine? Seems like you're well seasoned already.

[piette]

I just did that same thing a week before Christmas Jake, it was delicious. Although I sauted my beef first, then used a red wine to deglaze the pan I sauted with and poured that over the beef in the roaster as well.

We brought it over to my grandmas house, Had a great dinner with her, and then took her out for a few hours looking at christmas lights. Shes 86 now and wont drive at night anymore, so she hasnt been able to see Christmas lights in a few years.

It was a great night for sure.

[Highway Star]

Sounds good Jeff, & you had two more layers of flavor than me...nice.

[grandsport]

How long before someone gets angry with me? Stick a fork in me,I'm done with this thread.:)(maybe)

[grandsport]

Nope.... back away slowly. Jake likes to cook, I like to learn & share, looks like Jeff likes to cook..... this thread will continue!

So in other words,you are telling me if you cant stand the heat stay out of the kitchen,correct?

[grandsport]

Bingo! Head to the porch, grab a beer and wait for the goodies!


I can't Mike.:( Maureen put all the furniture away for the winter.

[Chris R]

What sort of seasoning did you use for the veggies and meat then?

[Highway Star]

I used a general purpose seasoned salt (like Lawry's) & granulated onion/garlic mixture on the pork, and salt/white pepper on the vegetables.

[grumpy]

I know it may sound a bit goofy but I wonder if we should have a food forum. Some of the best things I tried were made from suggestions of the members of other boards.

Don't know about you guys but I'm always looking for new vittles idea :)

[Highway Star]

Not a bad idea there, Dave. I like it.

[jnorton]

Oh yeah. That would be a good place to swap chili recipies.

[grumpy]

Speaking of chili, man did I make a killer pot this weekend. Black bean, corn and chicken. :)

I will see if I can shuffle some stuff around and get the forum created soon.

[grandsport]

Does any one else but me think Rachel Ray is hot?Waving

[grandsport]

I thought you liked Julia Child..... :D

I started to laugh,all I could think about was the Saturday Night Live skit.

[jnorton]

Does any one else but me think Rachel Ray is hot?Waving

Only if you turn down the sound on the TV.

[Highway Star]

This is the turkey that inspired stalkingbear to buy & cook his turkey day bird in a roaster...
