Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So I could leave my roaster chicken carcass in the crockpot, add some onion and celery, cover it with water and make stock?
Yep. Do it! Do it! It's a ... okay, maybe not a religious experience. But a basically free and dead easy way to always have it around and not have to buy much less good stock in cans and boxes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And I could pick out the chicken pieces and freeze, too!!

Rinse chicken. Place in slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients and cover. Cook on High 4-6 hours. Remove chicken and vegetables from broth. When broth has cooled slightly, place in refrigerator to cool completely. Remove fat and any foam when chilled.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Marked it! Very exciting. This along with Hil's stick your spare veggies in a bag in the freezer plan should have me in, err, gravy.
Yay, stock.

Veggie/Seafood things I’ve made in the slow cooker:
overnight steel-cut oats
rice pudding
clam and potato chowder
baked beans (still perfecting this recipe)
cheddar cheese and beer soup (sadly, wildly unsuccessful)

The other night, I was very lazy. I added nuked (frozen) broccoli to "Annie's Organic" pasta shells & cheese and OMG it was good.

baked beans (still perfecting this recipe)
Not vegetarian, but Alton Brown's baked beans are the best I've ever made:

That looks like it would taste great even without the bacon!
