Snow Peas in the Crock - yay or nay?

[soapfaerie]

I'm putting together the Easy Chicken Teriyaki that was posted the other day for dinner tonight, and picked up some snow peas to go with it.

Think i can throw them in the crock and let them cook all day? Or should i just throw them in for the last 20 mins or so? (That's when i'll get home.)

Advice appreciated! :)

I like snow peas on the crispy side, so I would definitely add them at the last minute. If they're cooking all day they'll get super soggy and soft (which I guess is ok if that's how you want them).

I agree--put 'em in the last few minutes. Otherwise they'll be mushy and ewwwwwwwww!! ;)

I would do the last 20 minutes or so unless you want green mush decorating your dinner.

Honestly, I wouldn't put them in the crockpot at all. I'd either saute them lightly or blanch them in boiling water and serve them with your teriyaki dish.

Let me know how it turns out, i was planning to make this over the weekend!

Not too good, in my case. My chicken burned and dried out, despite using the amount of sauce and the juice from the pineapple. Maybe my crock's too big for it though... :(

i have a tiny crock (2qt) i got for $4 at walmart around xmas -- it works much better for smaller meals.

Nice! I think mine's a 6. Think it was too shallow. Or on too long, though it was on low. *sigh* Oh well. Jay's going to get dunk's for us instead haha.
