I own one simply because they're a convenient way to keep something warm for an office party--I use it maybe once or twice a year for an office potluck if I bring gumbo, crawfish bisque, etc.


So do you go ahead and make the gumbo and just pour it in the crockpot? Then set it to warm when you get to work in the morning?

I make the gumbo and chill. Schlep it to work, put the crockpot to heat with a few carafes of boiling water in it from the coffee machine, wait about 1/2 hr, dump the hot water. Microwave gumbo til hot, stick in warmed crockpot to keep at a food safe temp for a couple hours.

I’ve got the pork roast in the crockpot right now. Rubbed it with a dry chorizo seasoning, added four sliced bell peppers. Did not sear. Cooking for 4 hrs at high, 2 hrs at low. Smells pretty good.

You can keep it simple, but I like to use the drippings to make an enchilada sauce


Crock pot drippings are pretty good turned into a gravy or sauce.
