Let Your Imagination Soar for Crock Pot Cuisine

Crock pots are so versatile, they can do much more than make stews or bake chicken. Using a few unusual ingredients and a little imagination, you can create exciting new recipes for every meal of the day. Read these suggestions to start you on a journey of exploring new possibilities with your crock pot.


Stir Up Some Unusually Good Crock Pot Cuisine



If you didn’t already know this, a crock pot is the epitome of culinary diversity. Using traditional or unusual ingredients, you can create cooking delights you wouldn’t have thought possible before, using what is sure to become the most treasured possession in your kitchen. No more boring cans of creamy soup for you – it’s time to get creative.

From appetizers to main courses to healthy desserts, a slow cooker can do it all. Not to mention, you can cook a world full of different dishes with just one kitchen appliance. Here is some of the more unusual crock pot cuisine for your next meal.

Appetizers

Don’t think of tiny sausages as the limit of your creativity here. Slow cookers can make appetizers like you wouldn’t believe. How about a variety of flavored chicken wings, Lumpia, Wasabi peas, or Egg Rolls? Crock pots can handle all of the above in style.

The steady heat source a crock pot provides is the benefit here, and its portable, easy to use operation doesn’t hurt, either. No matter what you’re in the mood for, chances are you can use a slow cooker to create a favorite pre-meal snack, even more exotic ones you’ve been hesitating with.

Main Courses

Of course, main courses are where a crock pot really shines. Stretch the limit of your imagination with a few unusual ingredients, and you’ll be whisked away to crock pot cuisine from different countries you can visit from the comfort of your own home. From France to India, from capers to curry, it’s easy to create your own crock pot world tour for very little money.

This could also be an opportunity to use foods you’re familiar with, but in a whole new way. Use a cola drink to help tenderize your favorite meats. Add a few exotic fruits like star fruit or papaya to boost the “wow” factor of your favorite Hawaiian Chicken dish.

Use a little wine in your recipes. Add fresh herbs to your creations in the last half hour of cooking for a flavorful explosion of taste. Your crock pot is the master chef at your command, and you get all the credit. Try some unusual ingredients in a whole new way to create some fabulous dishes for your family and friends.

Dessert

Yes, you can make a simple apple crisp in a crock pot, but what other surprises can you stir up for your guests? We’re thinking of chocolate coffee or bread and butter pudding, a variety of tiramisu, or a carrot soufflé, for starters. You’ll find all these options are available as delightful crock pot creations.

Break out of the usual mold of cakes, pies, and pudding for dessert. Use your crock pot to warm up a bowl of mixed nuts with just the right amount of spice added. Or, warm up a bowl of granola and serve over a bowl of Gelato.

Simmer a few exotic fruits for fresh compote that goes well over some rich ice cream or by itself with just a touch of heavy cream. Beats the same old ice cream and chocolate syrup any day, doesn’t it? Speaking of chocolate, melting chocolate for dipping couldn’t be easier in a crock pot. Create your own chocolate fondue event tonight, using a slow cooker for the easiest solution you can imagine.

Don’t discount the power of your crock pot to create some amazing recipes that are unusually delicious. Between your refrigerator and pantry, there’s bound to be some ingredients you can use to create new recipes. Substitue cherries for apples, cilantro for parsley, ginger for hot sauce quinoa instead of rice. A crock pot is limited only by your imagination for new and exciting foods you’ll have fun trying out.
