mtguy1976 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Anyone try cooking tofu in a crock pot? We got a crock pot for Christmas and wanted to try tofu in it, but I'm unsure of how it would turn out? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 i don't think it would come out well. I have 2 cookbooks dedicated to vegan slow cooking dishes and they recommend you don't do it. I used tempeh though and that comes out well. So do beans, lentils, rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adena Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I think it would just stay too soft and mushy. I only tried it once, and it wasn't too appealing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 If you brown the tofu first before putting it in the crock pot it is not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 interesting lobster. what kind of tofu recipes do you make in your slow cooker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hmm, it's been so long, it was a Chinese BBQ tofu recipe, let me see if I can dig it up. Aha! Found it! http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/10/chinese-barbecued-tofu-and-vegetables.html It's been awhile since I made it, but I seem to remember it being okay.

MaryStella Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 thanks for posting that i will def try it as some point because i like using my slow cooker! I am curious to see how it comes out because the few tofu recipes i have made in the slow cooker were not that great. they were edibile but not as good as if i didn't use the slow cooker for sure. Where do you find water chestnuts? I have looked all over my store for them and haven't seen them so i usually have to leave them out of recipes.

lobsteriffic Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I always take them out of recipes because I can't stand water chestnuts!! I think I've seen them canned before. I don't really pay attention since I hate them so much. I always pick them out of stir frys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomc Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 That chinese BBQ tofu sounds SO good. Shame I don't own a slow cooker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 There are instructions on the site for making it without a slow cooker if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
