You can cook anything in the can! Soups, stews, beans, whole chickens, Cornish hens, crayfish boil, shrimp boil, gumbo, roasts, chili, green chili, carnitas, thai pumpkin soup, pazole.

As JJ mentioned above the can is a low pressure cooker. That said if you leave the heat on high you can risk blowing the top off. Once you start seeing steam come out the hole in the lid its time to turn the burner down to low.

A few years ago I did 3 chuck roasts in the can for a gathering of 20. Just this spring I made a full can batch of pork chili verde. 

Here's a few of my cooks posted here. For some reason I haven't posted as many as I thought! We use the can pretty frequently.

Cream Can Roast

Cream Can Stew

Cream Can Seven Bone

Another Cream Can Seven Bone Added 12-10-2015

Cream Can 7 Bone again! Added 3-9-2016

. Not sure if this can be fixed. We got a foot of snow over the last 2 days. I see in the fliers that there is cap off prime rib on for $4.79 per lb. Im going to get some right away.

This snow is early for us. It should melt next week. Normal temps for this time of year are about 60 for highs and just above freezing for lows

Thanks Bear!

80/20 ground beef is $3.99/pound! Thankfully I have been grinding our own from the clod shoulder I buy bulk at $2.25. Can't afford (actually don't want to afford) to grind chuck anymore...

Being that versatile makes lobbying a little easier, but before I drop that much coin for a pan I need to let her get over the wine cooler I got last week with visions of slow/dry curing :dunno
I want one, though :biggrin:

Actually for some reason we've been having sales on Ground Beef lately. Both of our stores (Giant & Weis) have been selling 85/15 for $2.49.

Mrs Bear bought a couple Family packs in case we ever run out of Deerburger.

What a great piece of equipment, Case! I wish She Who Must Be Obeyed wasn't embargoing any more Q toys. Sigh. I'll just have to be jealous and see your great roast.

Point!

I'm kind of in the same boat, Disco.
I've got an idea! Since it's not actually Q equipment, what if we gave it to THEM as a gift?
I can wait 'til Christmas....:biggrin:

Har. Your theory may be sound, Case, if I survive to cook anything in it! And SM, you get that for her for Christmas and let me know how it goes. I hope I won't have to send flowers.
