I returned to my blog to find this post still in draft status. It's from 2012! This roaster has been replaced by my new favorite appliance, the Instant Pot. I still wanted to post for nostalgia's sake.
My favorite cooking appliance to use during the cooler months is my roaster/slow cooker. It was a Christmas present from my mother-in-law years ago. As you can see by the picture below, it gets plenty of use! I use it to cook so many things: roasts, soups, chili, stews, etc....
One of my favorite Sunday meals is a roast and veggies cooked in my roaster. Such an easy meal to prepare, just a little prep work, throw everything in the roaster and you have a hearty meal that looks like you slaved for hours.
This past Sunday I made a pork loin with veggies. I don't really have a recipe for this. I browned the loin on both sides and put it in the roaster. I preheat the roaster first on 375 degrees and then set it on 300 degrees. I added water to cover the bottom third of the pork loin and then added worchestershire sauce, garlic salt and black pepper. I also added a diced onion and some sliced carrots. After a hour of cooking, I added sliced baby bella mushrooms. You can add potatoes, celery, tomatoes or any other kind of veggies that you like. My 4 pound roast took about 2 hours to cook, then I just set the roaster on low until ready to serve. I served it with some corn muffins. It was a great meal for a cool fall evening!
