I am LOVING our new Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand! You can cook in the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven on the stove, then transfer it directly to the slow-cooker base.  One pot to clean, I always love that. 

Beef Stew was the first recipe I tried with it, be sure to check out that recipe, it was delicious! This recipe comes from The Kitchn.

Here’s some info about our new Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven:

Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand

Slow Cook & Keep Warm

Take your Rockcrok® Dutch Oven or Everyday Pan and turn it into a slow cooker with the Rockcrok® Digital Slow Cooker Stand. The slow cooker lets you cook food on your own time, or easily transfer it from the oven or stovetop directly into the stand to keep it warm. Control the temperature and timing of your food with the stand’s digital display and keep your cabinets tidy with compact cord storage for when you aren’t using the stand. Two inset handles make lifting easy, and the stand even wipes clean for simple cleanup.

Rockcrok® Dutch Oven

COOK ANY MEAL FOR A CROWD

The Rockcrok® Dutch Oven is the perfect size for cooking for a crowd, and unlike other types of ceramic cookware, you can use Rockcroks® right away without needing to preseason. The large Rockcrok® Dutch Oven perfect for anything—appetizers, bread, casseroles, braised meats, soups, and more! You’ll never run out of possibilities with this durable, versatile piece.

Rockcrok® Collection

Calling our Rockcrok® Collection versatile is an understatement. It’s made from durable, high-quality clay that’s heat-safe to 752°F (400°C), so you can sear, braise, simmer, slow cook, fry, boil, bake, broil, microwave, and grill in one pan. Rockcrok® pieces transfer effortlessly from freezer to stovetop to oven and back again, all while creating savory roasts, crisp crusts, moist cakes, and one-pot wonders. Since they’re dishwasher-safe, you’ll find reasons to use these lightweight alternatives to cast-iron cookware every day.

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 8 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Flat Italian parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Heat oil in Rockcrok® Dutch Oven until shimmering over medium heat.  Quickly sear chicken until lightly browned on both sides; remove from stove, and place in Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand.

Peel garlic and smash with the back of a knife.  Add to pot, along with lemon juice and broth.  Cover, and set slow cooker to LOW for 3 hours, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F/75⁰C.

Remove chicken, set aside. Combine butter and flour to make a paste.  Remove Rockcrok® Dutch Oven from the Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, and place back on stove.  Bring broth to a boil over medium-high heat.  Add in the flour mixture, stirring constantly to combine.  Cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until the sauce is thickened, stirring frequently. 

Pour sauce over chicken, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.  Serve immediately.

Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Pork Carnitas (Video)

Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, my slow cooker Mexican Shredded Pork Carnitas recipe is a six-ingredient, 5-minute prep delight, that your whole family will love! To season the pork, I used our Tex-Mex Rub, and to slow cook the pork, I used our new Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven:

Tex-Mex Rub

Say olé to south-of-the-border flavor for tacos, meats and more. Cumin, cinnamon and chili pepper. 2 oz. Gluten-free.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew – The Cozy Cook (Video)

How many of you use a slow cooker to make meals?  Pampered Chef just came out with their new Digital Slow Cooker, and I couldn’t be happier!!  The difference with ours is that you can cook in the Rockcrok on the stove, then transfer it directly to the slow-cooker base.  One pot to clean, I always love that. 

This beef stew was the first recipe I tried with it, and I am really very pleased with how it turned out.  This recipe comes from Stephanie over at The Cozy Cook, and you can learn more about her here.   I will definitely be heading back over to her blog, as this recipe was fantastic! 

Here’s some info about our new Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok Dutch Oven:

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs. stewing beef, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp celery salt
  • 3-6 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp cold butter, divided
  • 2 cups sweet onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot wine
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tsp Better Than Bouillon
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 5 medium carrots, diced into ¼-inch pieces
  • 1 lb. baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ¼ cup cold water + 3 tbsp cornstarch to make slurry optional
  • 2-3 drops Kitchen Bouquet Browning + Seasoning Sauce optional

Instructions

Cut beef into 1.5-inch cubes, then toss with black pepper, garlic salt, celery salt and flour to fully coat. Chop onions and garlic, dice potatoes and cut potatoes in half.

Heat 3 tbsp oil in Rockcrok over medium-high heat; sear the meat @ 45 seconds per side (do this in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan), then remove and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, and add one tablespoon of the butter to Rockcrok. Add onions to pan, and cook for 5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic, cooking one minute until fragrant.  Add a little wine or water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits of flavor. 

Add the beef back to the pan, along with all of the other ingredients EXCEPT the peas and the slurry.  Give a stir to combine. Cover Rockcrok with lid. Set slow cooker to LOW for 8 hours, or HIGH for 4 hours.

Add in the peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking. 

Once cooking is complete, combine the cold water and cornstarch to make the slurry, and stir into the stew if it is not thick enough.  Remove the bay leaves and rosemary; add in the 2 tablespoons of cold butter, stirring to incorporate.

That’s it!  Our family LOVED Stephanie’s recipe, and we will definitely be making this again.  I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe.  I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!
