Whois & Analysis for recipesthatcrock.com

A slow cooker, also known as a Crock-Pot (a trademark sometimes used generically in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States), is a countertop electrical cooking appliance used to simmer at a lower temperature than other cooking methods, such as baking, boiling, and frying.

This facilitates unattended cooking for many hours of dishes that would otherwise be boiled: pot roast, soups, stews, and other dishes (including beverages, desserts, and dips).

A wide variety of dishes can be prepared in slow cookers, including ones typically made quickly, such as cocoa and bread.

Pot roast is a braised beef dish, typically made by browning a roast-sized piece of beef in order to induce a Maillard reaction, then slow-cooking in or over liquid in a covered dish.

Tougher cuts such as chuck steak, boneless chuck roast, and 7-bone pot roast are popularly cooked using this technique; while the toughness of their fibers makes them unsuitable for oven roasting, slow cooking tenderizes them, while the liquid exchanges its flavor with that of the beef.

The result is tender, succulent meat and a rich liquid that lends itself to gravy.

In North America, where it is also known as "Yankee pot roast", pot roast is often served with vegetables such as carrots, potatoes and sometimes onions simmered in the cooking liquid.

Chicken is the most common type of poultry in the world.

In developed countries, chickens are usually subject to intensive farming methods.

Soup is a primarily liquid food, generally served warm or hot (but may be cool or cold), that is made by combining ingredients such as meat and vegetables with stock, juice, water, or another liquid.

Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids in a pot until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth.

Dessert is a course that concludes a main meal.

The course usually consists of sweet foods and beverages, such as dessert wine or liqueurs, but may include coffee, cheeses, nuts, or other savory items.

In some parts of the world, such as much of central and western Africa, and most parts of China, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal.
