Yeah, I rhymed my title.
Sometimes I'm fuckin creative, deal with it!
I intended to post yesterday, but got distracted by awesome
box seats at a Jethawks game.
Yes, you read right. The Fucking Jethawks.

My dad (the
majestic beast on the right) and his friend chillin with KaBoom

Oh you don’t know the Jethawks? Educate yourself!
It was a fun game, with lots of beer and a victory on our
part. Before you ask, I do like baseball, I do NOT follow major leagues, and yes I will go to a game with you if you buy me beers.
So anyway, husband and I have been battling for the last two
weeks with our crock pot.

Poor guy is past
his prime, especially after an unfortunate incident with a slippery sink

Old trusty wasn’t hacking it anymore, and our slow-cooker needs
had moved on. First, we sat him down and adequately broke up with him ; it’s
not you crockpot, it’s us. We dropped you, after all, and it’s not your fault
you’re older than sin and entirely too small for our fat-ass needs.
After many tears, okay mostly my tears and my husband’s
laughter at my overly-personified relationship with kitchen appliances, we
began the search online.
Fast-forward through all the boring research bullshit and
about twenty visits to both crockpot.com and google for reviews, we settled on
our new friend – I mean – model, yeah tools aren’t pets…
 |
Isn’t it
beautiful!?
|
Knowing me to be the impatient child I am, husband read
my mind, and as soon as it arrived washed and plugged it in, demanding I
season a chicken now and submit it to the fiery inferno that is our new friend,
ergo the photo of glorious chicken you see before you. Yes, it’s fucking
amazing, and no, you can’t have the recipe…today.
How did the chicken come out? I've been thinking about getting a crock pot, and I'd like to hear your review. =)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely tender! The one pictured is Crock Pot's 5-Quart Slow Cooker Smart Pot.

It heats up really fast and maintains pretty efficiently. It has four settings, high for four and six hours, and low for eight and ten hours, after which they all switch to warm. I find the settings to be great, since you can set up something in the morning and not worry about over-cooking it. As you can see, I could almost fit two small hens in there, and I'm pretty stoked to cook the hell out of a ham shank!
Awesome! Thanks!
