I literally cook anything in my slow cooker. I love to make pot roast in it as well as piccadillo for my nachoes. I'll use either my crock pot or my rice cooker...they both work for just about anything you want to cook. I hardly ever use my range anymore. The only thing I can't cook in my crock pot is anything that requires the water to be boiling or anything fried. If you can cook it in a pan on the stove, and sometimes in the oven, you can cook it in your slow cooker.
