CrockPot (?)

Um, I am so new to using my crockpot. Can I put frozen chicken in it? Or should I defrost it?

You can put frozen chicken in it

I like to put frozen chicken in, and cook it all day (on Low) with chicken broth - or you can do BBQ sauce

[Jennifer]

You can put it in, it just takes forever to cook. I usually defrost mine partially before I put it in!

I put frozen in mine all the time. It usually has to cook for 3-4 hours that way. Gives you more time if you start it in the morning and you can set it on low and cook most of the day. It's really tender when it's done that way and FULL of juice and moisture!!

Okay. I't only 1pm here. If I put it on, should I put it on low or high?

[~Stephie~]

I would say high so it'll be done between 4-5

[Jennifer]

I'd put it on low, then check on it about 1-2 hrs before you want to eat, and you can always turn it to high then! If you've got 4 hours you are set for low IF it is a small amount of chicken!

just be sure you add a little bit of water and heat the pot for about 10-15 minutes first. Then add your frozen stuff. I attended a class about crockpot cooking last week!

did you know you can make cakes in those things, complete with frosting?

This way you can eat BEFORE we go to the gym instead of at 9 at night
