The: I'm broke and prefer to smoke but gotta eat on the cheap crock pot thread

what do you use with the chicken to make the stock? celery, onions, carrots?

 

Umm i guess im just making broth, and ill just add this to some potatoes and cabbage and sausage or somethin.

 

also dont pay attention to anything I post after 10 pm central time. I guess since those where bone in leg quarters that classifies it as stock or at least stock ish right? at any rate, my wife is cutting up potatoes and cabbage today and browning up some smoked sausage (at least that's what I think the plan was this morning before I left) and throwin all that in the crock pot for tonight

 

No you had it right. Technically stock would be just the bones slow cooked in a stock pot and cooked down until it is concentrated. I do that with pheasant carcasas and thighs because they have those small sharp bones in them. Normally I use my

$180 All-Clad Specialty Stainless Steel Stockpot, Multi-Pot with Strainer 3 Piece, 12 Quart Induction Oven Broiler Safe 500F Strainer, Pasta Strainer with Handle, Pots and Pans Silver

All clad multi cooker for that.

Never thought about using a crock pot but it sure enough would work! With chicken I usually put in carrots, onions and celery and technically it becomes broth then. At least that is my understanding. Either way they are both damn good IMO. I'll add cornstarch to either when heating back up to make gravy but mainly broth. Stock I normally use as a base for soups. I like the idea of cabbage and sausage with it, I've never done that.

 

yeah I think the starch from the potatoes will thicken it up a good bit, and I love cabbage in soups just because it winds up tasting basically just like the broth. I had some soup at olive garden called "zoupa tuscona" or somethin I couldn't pronounce and I assume this will be very much like that plus cabbage. I also am looking forward to it because other than dipping the broth out last night, my wife is doing the whole thing, which basically never happens when it comes to food at my house haha

 

Well my wife wound up using a box of broth and she cut it half and half with water??? Cuz the inyernet apparently but its still really good and very filling because of the cabbage
(cornbread waffle btw)

 

Cornbread waffle, interesting...

 

I have a 4 waffle iron and i can cook a half batch of cornbread before the oven would even be preheated

 

cornbread waffle with fried chicken + honey siracha syrup + pimento cheese = amazing

 

what have you not cooked on a waffle iron? lol My sister just did an omelet last weekend.

 

I mean technically ive only cooked waffles on it... They are just all made of different ingredients

 

My friends wife was going to do that with his double sided waffle iron and he told her keep her hand off, if she want's a waffle iron get her own. lol

 

Not crock pot but maybe an upcoming experiment. Baked bbq pork chops

 

No oven baked, crock pot next time. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Some more of that 10 lb bag of chicken leg quarters
