Anyone who has made or seen stuffed cabbages made

What type of pot should I use? Can you show me a picture of which one, b/c the recipe says a large stew pot, and I'm not really sure what that is.

hmm I don't know b/c I don't make them but my mom always makes them in the crockpot so I guess something about that size? like a 5-7 qt pot?

my mom makes them in one of those big pots you make soup in, like the kind you cook a lot of sauce in.....like the pic of the 'stew' pot

I feel like it should be in this sort of pot, and I don't have one

it probably should be but I really think you can use any pot that size even if it's not a stew pot, it'll get the job done. A sauce pot should be fine I cook everything in those

Hm really? I have one of those that is brand new. Maybe thats an excuse to use it. Does she do one layer of them, or multi layers?

I am pretty sure that she only does one layer

Yeah I would make it in that if you have it, but if not-you can use a shorter stock pot.

Re: Anyone who has made or seen stuffed cabbages made

my mom makes them every christmas, its a romanian tradition and probably the most traditional thing to eat. She makes it in a HUGE pot the kind you make soup in but the extra large one. She makes a lot though since its for the holidays but takes forever to cook depending on how many you make. My mom starts cooking them from the night before to eat the next day

go to Homegoods! They have a ton of La Creuset at a fraction of the price, and in many colors!

Re: Anyone who has made or seen stuffed cabbages made

DH said they make them at work in a tall cake pan type thing in the oven. Or he said you can use a large pot w/ a lid.

You just want to buy a LeCruset, dontcha? haha

this is what my mom uses.. I personally use a crock pot, or just a very large pot with a lid

Re: Anyone who has made or seen stuffed cabbages made

I do want one, but even at Marshalls/Homegoods they're still like $50! How often am I really going to make cabbages.

ChristineAaron08 Posted: Mar 10, 2009 10:42 PM

Re: Anyone who has made or seen stuffed cabbages made

You can make more than cabbage in it!!

Chili, sauce..whatever.

Are they really only $50 there?? I need to stay far away from there then.

oh but you can make so much more in them! Sauces, stew, chili, fry up some yummy Tostones, bake bread in them! It's worth it, and you'll have it for like 50+ years!
