Questions & Replies

  1. Is there any way to figure the timing in order to convert to a pressure cooker? This sounds fantastic, but I've been using the Instant Pot more and more, just about daily, compared to the slow cooker anymore. If not, well out comes my slow cooker! Thank you!
     
  2. can I use chicken stock instead of water
     
  3. Does cooked chicken in the crockpot end up tasting dry. I was surprised they asked for cooked chicken on low for 6 to 7 hours.
     
  4. Can you just brown the chicken instead of fully cooking before adding since the crock-pot will definitely fully cook everything???
     
  5. Why does it read Ready in 9hrs20mins, I'm preparing this meal NOW, ?? I believe the 6-7 hours in the instructions is correct....

  1. I made this last night and it turned out delicious!!! My sweet hubby normally makes his from scratch on the stove, and it's very good. Last night though he told me that the gumbo making is now my job...lol...so he definitely gave it 5 stars! :) This was also my first attempt at ever making gumbo, so anybody out there can do this! :) I've always been intimidated by the roux, but it was so easy! I'm a Louisiana girl as well, so this was every bit Louisiana as New Orleans is...lol...For me it was spicy enough. Probably because of the sausage I used along with the cayenne pepper I added. I also added crawfish since we were out of shrimp! :) Soooo good. Having the leftovers for dinner tonight after church! Can't wait to see how good it tastes after it sits in the fridge!
     
  2. Have never make gumbo before. Based on some things I had in the house that needed to be used, I decide to try. This was awesome. It was easy, oh so flavorful and used my favorite kitchen tool, my crock pot! Will definitely make again.
     
  3. My husband loves when I make this! The best part is how easy the roux is to make. The only change is I season my chicken with cajun seasoning. I am very liberal with the cajun seasoning both on the chicken and in the gumbo. I also use brown rice (made in a rice cooker because it tastes better/has a better consistency that way) and turkey sausage. We make a big bowl of this, add some cornbread and eat to our hearts' delight! :)
     
  4. Very goo recipe. Tried this last week and it turned out great. Never made gumbo before this because I was intimidated by makink roux. It truelly isnt difficult, and I am glad I tried this recipe. The only this I did different was grill the chicken and sausage on the grill. It gave the gumbo a great flavor. I also added extra chicken and shrimp.
     
  5. This turned out delicious. Very easy to make!
