 Topic: Cream in the crockpot? Yes or no?
Posted: 23 June 2008 at 9:10am |
|
GMIL told me last night that I shouldn't be cooking recipes with cream in the sauces in the crockpot.
I was talking about trying chicken korma in there and she was horrified that I might poison us all by heating cream for that long...
Anyone know if she is right?

Crock pots cook to a hot temperature, as in the liquid boils, so it should be hot enough I'd have thought. But you never know, That's a new one on me.
Maybe the cream will split if it's cooked for a long time, i know you're not meant to boil cream for that reason but not sure if that applies in curry

Mel I just had a look in my Alison Holst recipe book and she uses cream, so I presume if its on low it should be ok???

I've never used cream in mine but I've used coconut cream and cream-based ready made sauces like Korma without any probs.

I'm guessing from all the responses that it must be ok.
Korma in the crockpot tomorrow then, yay!

i would say not to put cream in just cause it may curdle, but technically it wouldn't make you sick i would imagine

I thought if you used cream, you're supposed to add it not long before you serve the meal rather than put it in early in the cooking process? Not sure where I read that though?

Yeah that's what I was thinking, cook the rest on low all day and then mix in the cream a couple of hours before serving time.
Oh well, we'll see how it goes anyway!
