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? ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

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 ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

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??? ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I've never used cream in mine but I've used coconut cream and cream-based ready made sauces like Korma without any probs. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I'm guessing from all the responses that it must be ok.
Korma in the crockpot tomorrow then, yay! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

| 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! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
