Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Pork | Slow Cooker Pork

I love a tender pork roast, but my favorite way to serve pork has to be Sweet and Sour Pork.  Served over buttered noodles or plain white rice, this is a family favorite from way back - especially when pineapple and or bell peppers are a plentiful and well priced!  This recipe works well with pork slices too.  If you have not yet tried cooking pork in a crock pot, next time pork is on sale at your butchery, get some and be sure to keep this recipe in mind!


Do you ever wish you could make more than one dish in your slow cooker at a time?  Do you have a big family, or entertain often and wish your slow cooker could do more?  The trio is ideal for holiday entertaining, buffet-style dinner parties, or other social occasions, this triple slow-cooker server features three 2-1/2-quart pots for cooking up anything from vegetarian chili, lentil soup, and beef stew to tuna-noodle casserole, chicken curry, and more. Three separate control knobs make it easy to independently adjust the heat from low to high or warm temperature settings for each pot. The unit's round-shaped, stoneware cooking pots can be used to cook and serve a main dish in one and two side dishes in the others, can be removed from their heating base for use as serving dishes at the dining-room table, or can be used to store leftovers, once cooled down, in the refrigerator for later, all of which means less dirty pots and pans filling the sink at the end of the day. Three serving spoons and matching glass lids with stay-cool knobs come included. Other highlights include individual spoon notches, integrated side handles on the removable pots, stay-cool integrated side handles on the heating base, a stainless-steel/black hybrid finish, and six feet that lift the serving unit up, keeping tables or counter top surfaces safe from the heat. The trio slow cooker server measures approximately 9-8/9 by 35-1/2 by 13-4/5 inches.

Just the thing for your next dinner party, family gathering or holiday entertaining - it cooks and then keeps warm - what a great idea for freeing up your oven and stove top! Very clever!
