Has anybody seen...

If you buy it at Bed Bath and Beyond, bring them your Target ad at $89 and
use your 20% discount coupon. BBBY has it for $99.

Target has 'em on sale for $89. It's pretty big; I can't imagine where a
person would store something that size. Seems like an odd concept to me.
Might as well cook in the oven.

That's certainly an interesting concept.... you have my permission to
buy one and use it a while. Then let me know if it's worth while, ok?

🙂
I found them at $89 on the net.

it seems to me that you could accomplish very nearly the same thing if you put a
small
rack in the bottom of your exisiting crock pot. you're right. it is a quite
pricey crock pot

In theory, yes, but I only have the old-fashioned 3-1/2 quart crockpot that
is taller than it is wide. Not a good candidate for a rack of ribs or a
couple of whole chickens.

Looks a lot like the old roaser-oven my Großmutter used.
Something such as this :

How does the crock pot differ (outside of 60-100 USD) ?

That's a very good question. I have an old Westinghouse roaster-oven that is
virtually identical to the one you pictured. I haven't actually seen the new
crock pot bbq yet, only in pictures. I'd like to know more about it.

You got me interested a little more. I found a short customer review list
at: http://tinyurl.com/8qqpk (home shopping network) with the average
consensus giving it pretty high marks.

It only has Off--Low--High settings. No warm setting and no timer, so
it's not as "smart" as some crock pots.

The actual crock depth is shallow compared to regular crock pots so I'm
guessing it's really more of a large meat cooker rather than a
stew/chili/soup cooker. ???

I tried to hunt down a .pdf of the recipe book to get a better idea of
preparation but couldn't find it.

Go to a local Target and take a look in person. I was curious when I saw
ads, but when I saw the thing in person, my only thought was: where would I
put this thing? It's bigger than it looks in the ads.

This thing would have to perform multiple functions (so I could get rid of 3
or 4 other items to make space for it) before I'd even start considering it.

Go look. You'll see what I mean.

If you have one of those, could you not just set the temperature down
for slow cooking ? I dont think the food cares if it's touching
ceramic, glass or steel.

Thanks for the info. I think I need to do more looking and reading before

Reading the prior posts reminds me of a post I made a few days ago
regarding the Deni multi-fryer in a reply to Andy who was asking about
deep fryers. The Deni slow cooks (176¬F -208¬F) boils (221¬F) fries
(265¬F - 375¬F) and bake/deep fries (265¬F - 375¬F). It also comes
with a deep fryer basket and handle and a rack for baking and, one
would assume, doing a similar function as the Crock Pot BBQ Pit. As
Andy said, the Crock Pot BBQ Pit:

Not pushing the Deni, but you mentioned the multi-function factor. It
also has a timer. The Deni's cook pot is 10 1/2" square by 5" deep
and it doesn't take up much more space than a standard crock pot.

go get a Boston Butt and through it in there for eight to ten hours
Wayne...just a little water in the bottom to start...remember pork
will self baste...

at end of cooking just use a fork to shred it up and douse it with
your favorite barbeque sauce...let it sit a while and absorb the
flavors in the sauce...get some hamburger buns...pile the pork on the
bun...cover with coleslaw...put the lid on your barbeque
sandwich...enjoy!

I hope you don't mind me asking Bill, but if you shred up your meat
which possibly, (to me) means it is cooked till is it totally falling
apart, and then douse it with a sauce, can you still taste any flavour
of the meat?

I ask because I haven't heard of shredding meat in this way. I have
never done this.

What Bill is referring to, Ophelia, is usually called "pulled pork". It's
a very common form of BBQ here in the US. I don't know if that style of
BBQ has made it to the UK. The meat is slow-cooked and most often done in
a smoker/BBQ which imparts a significant amount of flavor. Most folks use
some sauce on it, varying from just a smidge to mixing it up as Bill
suggested. Personally, I prefer it without BBQ sauce at all. I pile on
the shredded pork, sprinkle it with hot sauce (something like Tabasco).
Topping it with coleslaw is traditional. This is sometimes done, too, with
BBQ'd brisket of beef. Both are delicious. Would that I could give you a
taste. :-)

Cheers!

I do Boston Butt on the outdoor BBQ now and love it. I don't usually use
sauce, just a sprinkling of hot sauce on the individual sandwich, but
that's just me. I'm seriously thinking that the Crock-Pot BBQ-Pit might be
nice to have around.
