look ma, no hands!

woke up to this glorious bubbling surprise

and when i opened it, it looked about done (maybe a little over, even!)

so i stirred it up and voila! nice, hot, comforting breakfast :)

(the only problem is that i think i filled it too much so some of the soup overflowed into the pot and left its charred remains. so that explains the occasional sputter and sizzle i heard in my sleep. lesson learnt!)

am off to drink my soup now and then make my virgin visit to the laundry room.

edit: frozen chicken is officially tasteless.

  1. i'm sure you already know this but i'm gonna tell you anyway. remember to cut away the chicken fat (and skin) before you slow cook it. chicken meat already has enough natural fat. otherwise the soup will be disgustingly oily!

  2. i'm sure you already know this but i'm gonna tell you anyway. remember to wipe off any water that might be on the surface of your pot before putting it into the slow cooker.. i think thats one cause for the charred base.. that's what i was told anyway..

  3. hello friends thanks for the heads up! yes twee, nice indian boy removed the fat for me. and hmm i thought it was dry but maybe it was too full and then it overflowed and charred the base. will be doubly sure next time and i need all the kitchen help i can get haha :)
