Using the Slow Cooker in Hot Weather

I use my crock pot during the hot summer months. Beef Stew, swiss steak, country style pork BBQ ribs, even chicken. I'm glad for the crock pot. :)

I have been using my crockpot slow cooker,in the summer,for about 3 years now.I make meatloaf,chicken,any thing you cook in the oven,you can fix in the crockpot.
I even found a recipe for crockpot "fried" chicken. Weezy1c

I also use my crock pot outside. We have a screened porch with a table near an outlet. I set my crock pot there and cook my meal. I can even do a bread and a dessert! (I have 5 crock pots)

Incidentally, through the years I have cut way back on browning the meat before putting it into the crock. We really aren't noticing a difference. One less step to do and you don't heat the house even that little bit. :o)

I take this one step futher. I have an outdoor table near my outdoor outlet, so I plug my slow cookier in outdoors on the table. Keeps that heat out of the house and the neighbors are always wondering what you are cooking
