A slow cooker and pork work well in tandem, and together they can serve up some truly mouthwatering meals guaranteed to whet your appetite. Even better, you hardly need to break a sweat to create these culinary delights.

Tips for Cooking Pork Tenderloin in a Crock Pot

Although it is delicious enough on its own, you can add more zest to pork tenderloin by seasoning it first. Also, you should make it a point not to overcook it in a crock pot, because roasting too much will cause it to lose some flavor and dry out. Using a meat thermometer is also preferable to slicing it up because some of the juices will dissipate (a range of 150 to 165 is best).

Pork Loin with Brown Sugar

For this slow cooker pork recipe, you’ll need garlic (1 clove halved), pepper and salt, six pounds of pork loin roast, 1 and 1/3 cups of brown sugar, a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon.

The first step is to rinse the pork thoroughly (get rid of the fat if you like), and also sprinkle some garlic; next put some salt and pepper. Don’t forget to pierce the roast with a fork so it will absorb the juices.

Get a cup, and combine the brown sugar, vinegar and mustard. After it has been mixed thoroughly, sprinkle it over the roast. Now put everything into the slow cooker. Set it to low and let it cook for 9 hours. Take the cinnamon and the sugar and spray the roast. Allow it to cook for another hour, again set to low.

Chutney Pork Loin

Another popular slow cooker pork recipe is this one, and it is also quite easy to make.

First you get a 3 to 4 lb pork loin, some salt and pepper, 1 sweet onion (sliced), a 12 ounce bottle of peach or mango; you will also need half a teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, half a tablespoon of ground ginger, 1 tablespoon of grainy mustard, and a teaspoon of curry powder.

The procedure for creating this slow cooker pork recipe is as follows: after slicing the pork roast and trimming some of the fat, take the onion and put it inside the slow cooker. Apply some of the salt and pepper onto the roast, and also glaze it with some of the garlic powder (alternatively you can use minced garlic).

Now take the roast and put it gently into the slow cooker. Take all the other ingredients and mix them well, and dust the roast. Set the slow cooker to low, and wait for 6 to 8 hours. If you set it to high the process will only be 3 to 4 hours.

Next, remove the pork roast from the slow cooker. Get a dish and pour the juices there. While it is simmering, take a tablespoon of cornstarch and mix with 1 tablespoon of water. Pour this onto the juices and serve it with the pork roast.

There are other ways that you can cook pork on a crock pot, and you are only limited by your imagination and creativity. Even if you are a novice at the kitchen, you’ll find these recipes easy to do, paving the way for other concoctions.

Barbecuing meat isn’t just confined to cooking outdoors anymore. These days, you can barbecue indoors as well – just not with an open fire or hearth, that is. You can use your oven or you can use your slow cooker (crock pot) as well. Here’s a delectable, fall-off-the-bone barbecue short ribs in slow cooker recipe without the muss and fuss of open flame or continued basting.

The ingredients for this barbecue short ribs in slow cooker that can serve 6-8 persons:

4 lbs. beef short ribs
12 ounces or 1 ½ cup of your favorite barbecue sauce*
Water (measurement depends on how high the meat fits in your crock pot)

*If you want to make barbecue sauce from scratch, here’s a do-it-yourself mixture that’s ketchup-based. This batch is more than you’ll need to cover the short ribs in slow cooker so the excess can be used as a dipping sauce for when the ribs are done.

2 cups (just about 16 ounces) ketchup
2 tbs. teriyaki sauce (if not available, use soy sauce)
Dash of hot sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbs. vinegar (if possible, red wine)
1 tbs. sugar

You can opt to brown the ribs in a pan of hot oil first, if you want to. But in the spirit of the no-muss, no-fuss principle with slow cooking, we’re just going to go ahead and dump the short ribs in slow cooker right off the bat.

Then, pour the barbecue sauce on top of the meat. If you’re using a bottled barbecue sauce, dump it all over the short ribs in slow cooker and add just enough water so that there’s enough liquid in there for it to simmer. There’s no need to cover the meat with water though, just add enough till it’s halfway to a quarter-full.

If you’re making the do-it-yourself sauce, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl first. Then, pour it all over the meat but leave at least a quarter of a cup for dipping later. You shouldn’t need to add water because this sauce is not so thick once you’ve mixed it well. Afterwards, put the lid on and cook the short ribs in slow cooker for 8-10 hours on a low setting.

This recipe of barbecue short ribs in slow cooker is so yummy and the meat will literally fall off the bone — it’s that tender. What’s great about cooking short ribs in slow cooker this way is that you can use any kind of bottled sauce you want as long as you add a bit of water so that it will simmer and stew in the crock pot.
