Is there a guide to /fit/ slow cooker eats? I'm on a $120/mo

pork shoulder

chilli

chicken + salsa

Just got one of these and after extended research ive concluded.... literally just throw meats and vegetables and some kind of sauce in the thing and let it cook on high for 3-4 hours and you'll have a nice healthy meal

Cheap cuts, broth and oil, spice to taste.

The only way to fuck it up is to forget it's on for 2 entire days.

What about trichinosis?

Slow cookers are a meme. The food always turns out boring as fuck, you can just take the same basic recipe and do it in 20 minutes on the stove and it'll taste better.

The only exception is for beef stews, and Kalua Pig (pork shoulder with salt and liquid smoke).

$120/month food budget LOL. Can't afford beef and even pork shoulder is a stretch. Have lots of eggs and chicken I guess.

I've always wondered, can you cook shit in a slow cooker without liquid? like is a sauce enough or does it have to be kind of runny?

>>40117782
Needs liquid, but not much, and cooking veggies releases more than enough water.

Unless you're cooking corned beef.

120, just eat rats.

don't buy shitty meat and you won't have a problem.

To those recommending cheap cuts and broths: corned beef is crazy cheap in my area, but doesn't it have lots of sodium and cholesterol?

Kalua pork & beef stews are braised, right? I'm confused.

All I make in my slow cooker is pulled pork ribs and potatoes.

I always figured it was extremely fattening so I barely Make it.

Basically put anything in it and add some onion and a bay leaf with enough water for it to not burn at the bottom. It's foolproof.

I slow cook atleast 3 meals a week

Do you pre cook the chicken to get rid of the 'nella?

>>40117999
No? Slow cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3. Try it out. Guarantee you'll never eat chicken any other way again

Slow cookers are good for really tough cuts of meat but you still ought to brown that shit on the stove to get a good texture and maillard reaction.

> t. autist who doesn't understand how cooking works

How do you add russet potatoes to your slow cooker? do you skin and slice them first or do you just chuck them whole along with the meat?

>>40117985
The soda is going to act as a tenderizer because it's so acidic. The sugar will be negligible because of the bbq sauce.
