Looking for Rainbow Trout in the slow cooker recipes

Post by Rosebudteg » Fri Apr 22, 2011 3:48 pm

I have two young children and a wife. When they get through the front door, the circus begins. As such, I'm a huge fan of the slow cooker.

Notice I didn't say I was successful with the slow cooker, just a big fan of it.

I need to figure out how to cook trout in the slow cooker so I can put it on hours before my family ever steps in the door.

I've got a 3.5 quart slow cooker with programming (low for xx hours then warm mode for 8 hours).

Any one have something I can use?

I don't have any experience with a slow cooker and trout, but would be very hesitant to try that method. Trout have such a soft flesh and cooks very fast. I'd expect that after a few hours in the slow cooker you'd have mush and bones. If you do find something that works please post it up. :cheers:

I doubt trout or salmon would do to well in a slow cooker. I use mine twice a week just about. I would think that the meat would totally fall apart. Youd have more of a fish chowder then anything else. I make Cippino in my slow cooker (Italian Fish Stew) but there is shellfish,black cod,and shark in it. If I did trout or salmon I think Id add them for the last hour of cooking just to keep them in larger pieces.With trout you'll have mass bones floating in whatever you make unless you de-bone it.JMO
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.
