Can I make pickled green tomatoes in this crock pot?

Don;t see why not--it was designed and created for making sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables. Give it a try.

Absolutely, also be sure to try making pickles in this crock! Contains probiotic bacteria (very healthy) & tastes better than store bought.

I don't think so. You first brown/sear meat in a pan on stove then add to crockpot. Crockin girls. Com

Yes you can, however I haven't made any yet. You might want to buy the "Good Health Clay Pot" cook book, Hedi Levine. It has all the recipes you need and the temperatures you should be using for this pot (it differs from regular pots). Hope this helped.

I've used it on one occasion for a long simmer but frankly, a crock pot will do a better job for that kind of cooking. I did because ee were camping and I packed the crockpot but didn't pack the cord for it.

I haven't tried cucumber with mine yet. The inside is relatively squishy compared to zucchini. When I make pickles, I put the cucumbers in a bowl and cover them in a layer of salt. Let them sit overnight, and the salt draws some of the moisture out. Rinse them off and give them a try in the slicer. That's the only thing I can think of. Unless you want to try to semi-freeze them before slicing.

Yes but as with all crock pots do not fill more than 3/4 for best results. I used this crock pot to slow cook baby back bibs for a crowd recently. It's awesome!

Hi Joyce: I don't know about pickling peaches. I use mine to ferment vegetables such as sauerkraut and pickles and it does a great job. I have a few of the more expensive German made crocks and the Ohio Stoneware are of the best quality. The finish is flawless and I would highly recommend this crock. I hope this helps!

I wouldn't because the lid is bladed and doesn't fit any size crock pot in my extensive collection. It's fairly useless actually. Good thing I bought two! LOL!

Yes, they work just fine. That is what I have at home. I have no complaints and I think if you are going to cook something on high temp for hours-use a crock pot.

Interesting question! I do not think I would do this. The instructions that come with the rice cooker do not address using this for long term cooking. Would stick with a crock pot for a stew. Crock pots have thicker sides and would hold the heat better, I would think.

These are not my crock pots. You would have to ask the manufacturer. The one I purchased is of sufficient size.

I've only used it to reheat stews, chili, soups, etc. It gets pretty hot, but I don't know if I would cook in it. My big crock pot has a warm, low, and high setting. This little pot just has one temp, so it would be hard to control, and the portions would be small, so it would be a pain. I'd stick to a big recipe in a large crock pot and take individual servings in the small one.

I'm probably too late to help you, but tomatoes can be water bath canned (which is probably why the recommend not using the pressure gauge and having the hot water bath up above the lids). I use a large tamale pot. You don't actually need the pressure canner for tomatoes. Some directions recommend it for a shorter canning time, but results are very good with the straight water bath and a little lemon juice for higher acid.

I have this same crock pot, but I have never used it to make sour Kraut. I use it to make kim chi. I cut up about 4 heads of bok choi, one butternut squash, two turnips, and spices. Sorry I can't help you with heads of cabbage.

I'm new to using the quick cure, so I'm not sure.....but I only use pickling salt when canning

Absolutely!! Works great! I have always put in foods that are left overs, and canned soups. I get to work by 8:00 and its always warm by 12:00. Though, one time I forgot to turn it on, so I realized it by 11:00, and at 12:30 the food was well warmed. I love this crock pot!

Hi Cheryl, You can do green beans only if they are pickled.If you don't want to pickle them, the only way you can safely can green beans is with a pressure canner.
