4 Unique Ways to Use a Crock Pot for Cooking

Clay pots are one of the most underappreciated kitchen accessories.

Yes, they look nice, but most people who buy clay pots don’t know how to use them outside of their intended purpose. The truth is, there are some really unique ways you can use a crock pot to serve your friends and family some truly amazing food.

You don’t have to be a two or three Michelin star chef with an ego the size of Australia, you just need some amazing recipes worth bragging about.

Today I’m going to show you four awesome ways to put your clay pot cooking skills to work!

1. pans

This is one of the best made up words I have ever heard. Honestly, I think it should be in the dictionary…

Crock pot casseroles are what you get when you take some delicious casserole ingredients and bake them to perfection with just a hint of that crock pot flavor. It’s simple enough for everyday cooking but elegant enough for any dinner, and it works with just about anything: meat, vegetables, or even pasta.

two. stews

Another made-up word is something I actually know a lot about: stews

Crock pot casseroles are delicious and hearty and perfect for those cold winter nights when your belly just wants some comfort food. Just throw some meat and vegetables in your crock pot with a bit of liquid, turn on the heat and before you know it you’ll have something really special to share with your loved ones.

3. Baked potatoes

Yes, hot baked potatoes are best served in a crock pot! It’s so simple and so delicious: just rub those potatoes, put them in your favorite pot, top with a little salt and pepper, maybe a little onion if you’re feeling wild, and cook until light and fluffy. If baking doesn’t do it for you, try boiling too!

Four. Soup

This is an all time classic.

Soup in clay pots is the perfect way to serve up some hot soup on a cold day, or make it for lunch before an afternoon hike. You’ll need meat, vegetables, water or broth, and maybe a few spices to pull it off. It’s easy, delicious, and surprisingly healthy!

Let’s recap what you can use these pots for:

1. Pans

2. Stews

3. Baked potatoes

4. soup

I’m going to go ahead and assume you’ll be using a crock pot for all four of us. Anything from crock pot cooking is simply too good to share!
