How often do you use a slow cooker?
My new crock pot that was still in the package was cracked so I don't have one right now, but when we did have one we used it occasionally
@@behindthegrandadventure3518 what a bummer it was cracked!!! I cracked one once by trying to wash it in the dishwasher 🤦🏼♀️ Lesson learned!
Chana - I've used a crockpot since 1978 - and have gone through many different versions as a result! I am so fortunate that my husband will pretty much eat anything I cook! One of my favorites is chicken that has been lightly browned and combined with sliced onions and mushrooms and some kind of gluten free soup such as Pacific brand cream of mushroom - let it cook for about 4 hours on medium and serve over mashed potatoes, gluten free pasta or rice. Another version is subbing out a whole jar of salsa and then serving shredded with corn tortillas and sour cream.
We are at home because the snowstorm we’re having in Kansas shut school, and my job down for the day. So, I’m making pot roast for dinner, will probably start it in about an hour or so. Anyway, I use my crockpot probably a couple times a month, more in winter…….
Actuallly in Israel I don't.. pressure cooker is used for long cooking. But one can buy a crockpot of course
The recipes look great. I just might try them on fussy hubby.
Enjoy!
These recipes look delicious. I love soup.
Thank you! So glad you liked this!
I like that they are gluten free as well. Thanks for sharing your recipes
@@Penny-bt4gc you are so welcome!
I am trying orange chicken today for dinner.
Enjoy Barb! We all loved that one :)
These recipes looks great! I cannot recommend enough having a rice cooker. My family also eats a lot of rice AND we use it for oatmeal in the mornings (I set it up the night before and we have warm breakfast. Game changer!!
I’ve never tried a rice cooker :)
That orange chicken looks delightful.
It was quite tasty 😋
I often make soup in the crock pot especially Pesach time when one has such little time.
So smart!
I love your kettle!! It will be a slow cooker day tomorrow - Snow hitting Toronto, ON CA so the Crockpot is coming out... I have three new recipes to choose from - you didn't make it easy... Thanks for sharing... xo
Lol let me know what you decide on! I’d love to hear! Stay warm!
Love ❤️ these recipes thank you
You’re so welcome!
Yes, using the slow cooker liners are super helpful, especially for soups, chilis, and roast. I use them all the time!
Yes they are so super helpful!
I was very interested to see purple carrots with an orange center! I did not know such a carrot existed!
I literally died laughing at the very end when your kid was like “NOOOO” I would love to see that on America’s funniest home videos oh my goodness 😂😂😂😂
I’m not even sure he knew what I meant but he was adamant about not having anything to do with it 😂
Love this vlog! I actually made your husbands “ cholent” recipe in my crockpot it was absolutely outstanding. Cooking in the crockpot is so much easier than slaving over a stove I don’t use the liners but my crock cleans really well in the dishwasher. I cannot wait to try these recipes thanks Chana.
So glad you enjoyed the cholent! Hope you enjoy these just as much!
Love this one!!! I’m
going to try the orange chicken for Shabbat!!!! Thanks so much
Enjoy it and Shabbat shalom!
I have the orange chicken recipe in my crock pot right now! I was so excited when I saw this! My daughter will LOVE this! I know it! I’m going to also try it the way your husband suggested with frying the chicken first! That would probably be nearly identical!
Totally off topic, but I think it would be awesome if you did an orthodox bedroom tour. As I’m sure you know there is a ton of misconception and misinformation about the separate sleeping etc etc etc. As someone who was raised up in a “barely reform” (my own description) and then became more religious in my own adulthood - I know this was a topic that I was always super embarrassed to ask about, but that was also really important for me to understand etc. I had some beautiful friends and, of course, Rabbi’s who helped guide me - but for those in transition I think this would be a super awesome topic to cover. Your specific personality seems perfect for this topic because you know how to deliver sensitive topics in a way that is informative but not over the top or insensitive. You’re amazing!
Hope you guys enjoyed the chicken!!! I won’t do a tour of my bedroom, since that is a private space in my home where I don’t invite people to. But I do plan to talk about that entire topic on my channel, so stay tuned!
I would use this recipe for a chicken pot pie because it's so thick. Yummy!
Sounds great!
I use a crock pot quite a bit. I’ve used baking bags in place of the slow cooker liners. They usually go on sale around thanksgiving (the store brand) and I stock up.
Traditionally orange chicken is fried first and then add it to Sauce. So add cornstarch, garbanza flour, and rice flour. Then you want to Spritz some sesame oil on it. Then use an air fryer. Do precook your sauce and about the last 30 minutes add your fried chicken with it enjoy. Very ingenious concept of how to do it in the Crock-Pot though Bravo. Shalom
Thanks Chana for the Orange Chicken recipe. It was a big hit, and I am sure that I will be making it often. Thanks for all the great recipes. Such fun videos. Have a wonderful day.
So glad to hear that was a hit! Hope you’re having a wonderful day also!
All of these look so yummy, I have made chicken noodle soup in the slow cooker too. I love slow cooker meals as it is all in one pot.
I never think much about making a soup like that in the crock pot. I’m so glad I have it a go!
These all look sooooooooooooooooo tasty. I live alone and I “batch cook” on the weekends because I just can’t handle cooking during the week. Translation? I cook either two different recipes for 4 people or one recipe for 6 people and it feeds me for the week. I love making recipes in the crockpot because it means I just dump everything in and it cooks and then I put it in the fridge.
Please don’t throw things at my head!! 😁. I have so such admiration for everybody that cooks every day for their family. I just really hate cooking and do it on the weekends so that I only have to do it once. And thank you for showing the oops of forgetting to add the taco seasoning. I do stuff like that all the time and I was feeling like a bit of a dork I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that makes that mistake.
Love that you do the batch cooking! I don’t know how anyone cooks for just one person lol I was never good at that either :)
Thanks for the crockpot inspiration! I’m going to try the chicken pot pie soup and orange chicken. Your cheerful and calming videos always brighten my day.
Enjoy the recipes!
These look like fabulous recipes! Thank you :) I want to try that chicken pot pie soup! Yummy!!
That’s so delicious! You’ll love it! Enjoy!
I was recently diagnosed with coeliac's disease and I decided to make a pot roast in my slow cooker. I don't drink alcohol but put some $2 in the broth and although it's not done yet, man it smells so good. I also added left over veggies like butternut squash, red potatos and turnips.
My mum is from Wales and she says the idea is to just use the left over stuff that's going to expire like potatos leeks, turnips, carrots, meats etc and you can make this into Welsh Cawl (stew) she makes it with corned beef and it is pretty awesome, you can even do this with other meats, but kosher lamb is my favourite! All in the crock pot for like 7-8 hours on low, if you use red meat definitely sear it first. I reccomend to give it a try since you like the chicken noodle soup.
I think I am going to start using my crockpot throughout the year because you showed me that there are options for gluten free dairy free diets like me and my mums.
Thank you so much for sharing, I am so inspired! I'm going to try the orange chicken next!
Winter storm take two here in Oklahoma - so I made your chicken pot pie soup recipe for dinner last night - so good! I plan on trying the other recipes too but I need to get more crockpot liners. Thank you for sharing!
Yay! It’s a perfect cold weather meal :) stay safe and warm!
My son has been saying he prefers stew to soup, and I had no clue how to make that happen. Thank you!
Enjoy!
one of my fave crock pot meals is a can of picante or salsa a package of taco seasoning a package of chicken breasts let it cook all day until the chicken is cooked shreed the chicken when it's cooked. I serve it over rice with taco fixing on top tomatoes, lettuce, chesse and sour cream. My fave way to fix rice is to put in a microwave safe bowl put 1 cup rice 2 cups water cover with press and seal put in microwave for 6 minutes on high then 20 minutes on 50% power perfect rice everytime.
Sounds so good! Thank you for sharing!
Love these recipes!
I am eager to pull out my crockpot because I’ve been craving stew. Mine is actually a ninja crockpot or something so I can seer (spelling?) The meat in it as well. I am hoping to try the orange chicken recipe because I do not like Chinese food but my best friend and husband do. He was not raised keeping kosher but we do now so when he gets Chinese food it’s usually tofu. My best friend is not keep kosher so hopefully she can tell us if it doesn’t affect taste like the orange chicken from panda express. I also found it really funny because you were like these are all things I have in my cabinet. I have like none of those things in my cabinet. 🤣
Oh let me know what she says about the chicken vs Panda Express! I’m super curious :)
I'm actually making a winter vegetable stew with chicken in my crockpot right now! Great minds think alike! I love your recipes, I'm going to try them out!
So yummy! What fun! Enjoy!
All those meals look absolutely delicious! What time should I be there for the next meal? Lol Everything you prepare always gets me hungry! I will definitely be trying the recipes! Much love 💗
So glad you enjoyed! The recipes were so good!
anytime i see something that is gluten free that i think your family would like, i always check to see it’s also kosher. since i’ve been watching your videos, i’ve become mindful about food. if i were to visit someone who was jewish or if they came to visit me, i would want to bring something i know they could have as a gift or provide them something they can have if they were over at my house.
Aw I love that!
Going gluten free and dairy free in hopes my sons asthma will improve! Thank you for these recipes ❤
You are so welcome!
Yumm!!! These look delicious 😋
Thank you!
I'm thinking of trying all of them.i have to ask you a question do you make matzo ball's for chicken soup and do you have a recipe for that and the soup you could share I'm not of your faith but I love 💕 the food and thank you so much .God bless you and your whole family
Hello Linda! Enjoy the recipes!!! As for your question about the matzo balls, no I do not have a recipe. That’s not a dish traditional in my family. Sorry I couldn’t help you with that one!
The orange chicken would be a hit with my family. I love that it’s not breaded! Thank you!
Right?!? I was impressed with that one for sure
Some good recipes. I only use frozen veggies (no sodium) & will substitute parsley for cilantro (can't stand the soapy taste). The liners are a big help; don't have to chisel the slow cooker clean. You can find something at a store to use for the missing leg of your slow cooker & put it on w/epoxy. That's what I did.
Thanks Kathy!
Omg these look so good. I'm gonna try them all. I love my cockpot. The chicken pot pie look so yummy. Love a yummy stew. Much love Rissy from Vancouver BC
Hi neighbour 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you Rissy! Enjoy! Stay warm!
Chana - when it's time to replace your slow cooker, look for the Hamilton Beach model that has a removable crock that you can start on the stovetop....it's great for browning meat or sauteing your veggies and you don't have to dirty another pan.
Thanks for the tip!
oooo....that orange chicken looks like my next thing to try with my homemade marmalade....and your husband suggestion sounds even more brilliant 😋. Actually all these recipes will get tried....you've become my "cheat" for gluten and dairy free
Oh homemade marmalade! Love that!
Excellent video as always Chana (hopefully I spelled your name correctly). Your channel uploads always makes my Mondays and Thursdays! 😊
You spelled it right! Thank you Amy 💖
I'm always looking for things that aren't pot roast to make in the crock pot, and that chicken pot pie soup/stew looks delicious!
Also, that "no!" at the end was the best! Ah, kids... :D
He’s so funny lol I don’t even think he understood what I was saying 😂😂😂
We use the crock pot every week for the Shabbos cholent. And that’s about it.
Thank you for the inspiration to make more dishes with it.
Your house must have smelled delicious while making these meals. Was Bella hanging out in the kitchen while these meals were cooking? :)
Have a lovely Shabbos!
Oh the kitchen smelled amazing all day every day I used the crock pot! Such a perk! And yes, Bella enjoyed it too :)
Yum, yum, yummy!
😊😊😊
The chicken soup at the end is very similar to the one I make in my instant pot (which is so good!). I think I’ll try this one Sunday. I rarely use the slow cook function on the IP but I think I will for a few of these. :) They sound delish!
Enjoy it!
Loved this video! Great ideas! New subscriber now too btw!
Thank you so much! And welcome! I’m so happy you’re here! Stay tuned… my next video is more easy meal ideas 💐
These look amazing! I don’t own a crockpot, so I’m going to see if I can modify to use a Dutch oven.
You can make all of theese in the dutch oven :) Low heat, plenty of time and you will have the same result :)
Let us know how it turns out please!
Thanks for the tip Laila!
One thing tho, you cant leave it like you can with a crockpot. So make it when you are home, and check it often :) Good luck
I think the orange sauce would be yummy with beef as well. I am trying to eat a more vegetarian diet and watching you cook chicken dishes.... too funny. Then there was your Moroccan Fish!
I've never had a slow cooker, they're not common here in my country. But they do seem very handy.
They are pretty handy :) I grew up with a lot of slow cooker meals but it seems here at least the instapot has taken over in popularity
Tasty meals thanks for the recipes especially the one with orange but I want to give you a medal 🏅 for having chicken so many times in the same week 🤩👏👏👏👏 I guess it’s possible to change the chicken to turkey or beef.
😂 I happen to really love chicken :) And honestly the meals were all so different that we didn’t notice!
@@jaroffireflies yes you’re right they was very different 🥰
Good morning Chana! I love these recipes and will try the chicken pot pie soup in the next day or two. They all look delicious and super easy and smelling soup cook all day hits it out of the park.:) I just love the blooper endings. I laughed with you when your son said "noooo". So cute! God bless, and see you soon...
Lol so glad you enjoyed the bloopers and the video :)
Thanks for sharing your crockpot recipes! I’ve been in a rut when it comes to meal planning lately. I’m definitely going to make the orange chicken soon. I love the fact that you can get it together noontime and still have it ready by supper time. My freezer is stocked with plenty of chicken so this will be a great way to add some variety and use it up.
So glad this will help you use your your freezer food! Enjoy the orange chicken 💖
It all looks so good - The first soup you made, reminded me of the danish dish 'Tarteletter' with chicken, carrots and peas (Really a great dish, but I dont know if you can make it glutenfree - I am 99% sure that you can make it kosher) - As always lovely to you, your family and videos
Thank you Julie! 😊💖😊💖
Hi Chana: Everything looked so good, it made me hungry! I especially liked the orange chicken over the rice, but really, I can tell it was ALL yummy. 🤗 Winter is a wonderful time to make those crock pot meals, although it's also helpful in warm weather, so as not to heat up the kitchen. It looks like both you and your husband are good cooks, and, the kiddos eat very healthy meals with lots of variety. I'll have to try these. Thanks for sharing, and, many blessings to all of you. 🙏 Rosemarie 💖
So glad you enjoyed! Yes, the orange chicken was super yum and I can’t wait to make it again with the other half of my jar of orange marmalade!
If you get a lot of rice left over, you can always make fried rice (Asian dish). It is one of the cheapest dishes with protein in it (eggs)
We do that often! Love fried rice :)
I will certainly ask someone to help me make these.
Enjoy!
I have an offspring with gluten intolerance. Chana, have you ever investigated coconut aminos? I use trader Joe's. It's akin to soy sauce but its gluten free and kosher. I use it in Asian style dishes. Cheers!
Thanks for the tip! I e seen it and we have gotten it on occasion. This particular brand of soy sauce is gluten free so that’s generally what we use since it’s at the grocery store I go to most often :)
Also have made your husband's "fish" so much. I know you said he suggested oxtail but, my husband and I do like it with chicken. (He's allergic to fish). My veggie sister likes it "plain" with extra chickpeas or tofu.
I’m so glad to hear it was good with chicken!
I love lotta meat and everything to me go big or go home I like a lot of leftovers last at least three days
Owww i have bought one a while ago. I have not used it yet
Hopefully these recipes will inspire you to try it out!
Hannah the recipes look really delicious. I want to try them myself. So I'll watch the video again with the pen and paper. So the sauce that you made isn't very sugary? I too am a diabetic and watch out for sauces that are too rich. I love making chicken soup. However, I have used potatoes instead of noodles but the Manischewitz egg noodles look so delicious so I think I better buy sun and try it out. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite
Enjoy the recipes!!!! My son is type 1 so we don’t worry about sugar. I did include the recipes in the description 💖
I loved the crockpot recipes. I use the crockpot a lot, so this gave me some additional ideas. Think I'll try the orange chicken one first. Thanks, Chana!
Enjoy the orange chicken! Thanks for watching!
I made the orange chicken for dinner tonight. It's DELICIOUS!!!
I love crockpot ideas! We're all vegetarians in my family. Would you please consider doing a program with vegetarian crockpot dishes?
So glad you enjoyed this! Thanks for the suggestion!
This orange chicken looks so delicious 😊
Just one question: as european i don't recognize the brands of products you use, is it a "normal" sweet orange jam or the "british" bitter one (we call the sweet one jam and the bitter one marmelade)?
Hi Alex! I would say it’s sweet, definitely not bitter :)
Thank you for the recipes. They look delicious! Could I make them in a normal pot on a stove? Here in Germany we don't really have crockpots (I never have seen them here. Have a lovely day!
I don’t know for sure as I haven’t tried but I don’t see why not :)
I stumbled upon your channel again today while researching dairy free recipes for inspiration. You’ve inspired me!! I’m 100% dairy free!! I’ll be trying this! I love to cook and make cooking videos too so I am always looking to learn new recipes and grow my cooking skills. This is very helpful! Your channel has so much to offer. I hope we can learn more from each other!
So glad you enjoyed! Definitely check out this video with dairy free recipes too! ruclips.net/video/5DIkBQZ1Yis/видео.html enjoy!
Hi Chana, the second dish looks beautiful, is the taco seasoning very spicy? How much did you put of the taco spice?
Thanks Yana! That particular taco seasoning was a bit spicy. You could do a different brand or just use less :)
Thank you so much Chana! These look like great and tasty recipes. They will be added to my recipe book for sure 👍😊
Enjoy them!
Just wondering if your channel name has a special meaning. That orange chicken looks delish- I will try it at the weekend, Thanks
Hi Moira! I answer your question in this video: ruclips.net/video/8pzYkrZHtzU/видео.html Enjoy! And enjoy the orange chicken!
So now I am so hungry!!! 😂
I am definitely going to try all of them except the orange chicken-my family is not a fan of it. And that soup looked so delicious and I am not the biggest chicken noodle soup fan. Have a blessed Shabbat! Until Monday, many blessings! -Shawn
Enjoy them Shawn! Please let me know which is your favorite!
💜
Have just started watching your great videos! Do you have one on your conversion decision/journey?
Hello and welcome Joann! Yes, I have a series with my conversion story that starts here: ruclips.net/video/BfJxZH3rKKI/видео.html Link to the next part is in the description of that video. Enjoy!
Great ideas can't wait to try all of these..thank you...they all look delicious
Enjoy!
Strange question perhaps - but what is poultry seasoning? I haven’t heard of it before.
I love using my crock pot. It is summer here but I used it the other day with a whole chicken with bbq sauce over the top and cooked eight hours on low. Makes for a great soft chicken and lots of chicken to pop on a salad or in sandwiches.
Poultry seasoning is the name of a blend of spices, I’m not sure where in the world you live but in the USA we can buy it at pretty much any grocery store spice aisle. I love it :)
@@jaroffireflies I’ve never seen it here in New Zealand. I’ll have to look for it next time I’m in the supermarket as I would love to try that recipe!
@@KirstyJonesLouise just in case I found a recipe for you: 2 teaspoons ground sage
1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground thyme
1 teaspoon ground marjoram
3⁄4 teaspoon ground rosemary
1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
1⁄2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
@@jaroffireflies oh thank you so much! Perfect!
@@KirstyJonesLouise you are so welcome!
Love this! Looks easy and yummy... I'm subscribed!
Thank you for subscribing! I’m so happy you are here!
Just come across this recipe as been meaning to get my crock pot out again! I live alone so it’s great for batch cooking for the freezer, plus time saving if I can dump and go! Hopefully more cost effective than using my stove as energy prices in the U.K. are crazy.
You’ve given me some great inspiration of things to try and I’ve got most of the ingredients to hand, just need to buy some chicken. Thank you! ❤
Fantastic! Enjoy!
I usually use my slow cooker to make cholent for Shabbat lunch...I tried making soup in for Shabbat lunch a few weeks ago it turned out really delicious...hope you had a good week and wishing you and your family a Shabbat Shalom
We also use it for cholent :)
That orange chicken sauce looks yummy! I am going to mix that up and put it over air fried chicken. Great dinner idea!
Sounds scrumptious! Enjoy!
I love how human you are. Forgetting the taco seasoning and then putting it in...LOVE IT.
Thank you 😊 You made me smile :)
Hi Chana! I am loving these recipes! I use mine on a regular basis, I live in Florida and the crockpot does not heat up the kitchen. I routinely make different pot roasts, chops, and chicken and your orange chicken and Santa Fe chicken are on the must make list! My husband loves my white chili made with ground turkey, full of a variety of white beans, chili peppers and chili seasoning, it has quite a kick! As always, a pleasure to watch and learn......
You’re a crock pot pro! Love it!
I will definitely be trying the orange chicken! Panda Express has good orange chicken but it is nothing like this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy it Bridget! We sure liked it! Seems to be pretty popular here in the comments also :)
Has anyone tried adding veggies to the orange chicken recipe? Maybe just for the last few hours so they don't get mushy?
P.S. We often use coconut milk (full or partial fat, depending on the recipe) as a dairy alternative for thickening (either with or without flour/cornstarch/etc).
Thank you so much Chana for these awesome ideas!
I bet you could add veggies in towards the end and it would be perfect!
Oops, forgot the seasoning....I do that sort of thing all the time lol
Glad I’m not the only one :)
These recipes all look delicious, love using the crock pot, used one for years and for so many different recipes. Can’t be without it…a must have. Enjoyed 🤗
So glad you enjoyed! Hope you got some fun ideas!
Looks yum makes me think about buying a crock pot
I highly recommend it!
I'm gonna try the orange chicken with a salad
Enjoy!
Love your crockpot recipes. I will definitely try them all. Love the soy option. I feel that seems healthier than milk. Keep doing what you do. God bless sweetie
Thank you Daphne! Enjoy!
Looks yummy
I do have a big soup pan that I might be able to adapt the recipes for.
There ya go! Great idea!
Looked yummy. Take care and be blessed.
Thank you!
Yum 😋 ❤️👍
Imma gonna try all these out. Your slow cooker looks to be the same size as mine.😃
Awesome! Please let me know how you like them!
I started laughing when you stirred in the milk/flour on the first recipe and the crockpot was shifting. I had that same crockpot and one of the little rubber feet on the bottom fell off, so mine would do that too. 😂 my husband got me a new crockpot with a timer on it for Mother’s Day and I gave the old one away on Facebook marketplace to a lady who had the same one but her stoneware broke so she didn’t need the metal part anyways
I used to make the Santa Fe chicken as a meal prep thing but I cook differently now since I’ve had my twins and my husband won’t eat it so I haven’t made it in years! I don’t know if the kids would eat it or not, they’ve never even seen a black bean 🤪
My kids aren’t big fans of black beans but mixed in this they didn’t seem to notice! Maybe worth a try? But I totally get it. Few things are worse than making a delicious meal that no one eats
@@jaroffireflies yes! And since my twins are 2, I plan the meals I cook based on if my husband and I will eat them, since even their favorite foods sometimes they’ll decide they’re not in the mood for and stop eating for 2 or 3 days 😫
@@kelleythenurse3283 my kids still do that sometimes 🤦🏼♀️ I feel your pain
Those look so delicious,Chana.
Thank you 😊
These recipes all look great. I have a question about the orange chicken. How does your son deal with ingesting all those carbohydrates? Does he count carbs? I'm a Type 1 diabetic myself so I hope you don't mind my asking.
We just guess and dose for it :) The rice is more difficult than the sauce for us. But we at least know how to dose for that
@@jaroffireflies yes I was also thinking the rice must be tough. But it sounds like you both have things under control. Please feel free to reach out if you want any managing diabetes advice. I enjoy your videos.
@@mags102755 thank you so much! I really appreciate that :)
I love my crockpot! I use it in the summer too because it doesn't heat up my kitchen.
Awesome recipes............I made the shredded chicken with taco seasoning...yum!!!.....thank you for sharing!!
So glad you liked it!
I used mine just yesterday 😀 I use it every two weeks or so and I also use the liners. It makes clean up so easy.
Those liners are the best!
All your recipes look delicious! I’ve never seen cooking in plastic bags though - not too sure I’d be doing that.
You want good cheap soup? Save the bones from a couple of rotisserie chickens, add one or two thighs to the pot and add your vegetables and one container of broth along with 2 cups of water. I also use dry Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence. You can also cook some noodles separately, rinse and then add them at the end. 😋
Totally agree. I'm a chef and like lots of healthy fat, bones and herbs in all my dishes.
Thanks for the tip Alex!
