Question about chili

luvmybeetle — Sat, 07 Oct 2023 21:27:49 GMT

I was just watching the Temp-tations show on Q2. Lisa pulled out a container from the oven with chili in it. I've noticed that they always talk about chili from the oven. Is that the way most of you make yours? I always make mine on the stove top. I never learned to make it in the oven. Just curious.

That's a new thing to me, making chili in the oven. I've never seen a recipe for it made that way.

I only make my chili on the stovetop. I think they say oven because Temptation items are used in the oven.

I only know about chili that is made on the stove top or in a crock pot.

I'm glad to see these answers because I thought I was doing it wrong.

I always make chili on the stovetop so the ingredients can be browned properly; maybe the Temp-tations chili was just in the oven to keep it warm and serve it after it was made on the stovetop? I could definitely envision that. (And of course stoneware typically isn't safe for stovetop use, so they likely want to make sure they're not being misleading.)

I've only made it in a crockpot. Never tried anything else. Why mess with perfection.

Like most others, I make mine on the stovetop. I think it was just in the oven to stay warm and present a product.

Agree with other poster that they are selling stone bake ware so they have to come up with oven receipes. They add cheese to the top of theirs so they put it in the oven along with cooking corn bread to serve with it.

My guess is it's most likely made on the stovetop, then poured into the Temptations dish which is then placed in the oven to keep warm. The prime reason is to sell the Temptations baking dish.

p.s. Stovetop for my chili as well.

I have a big pot for chili, spaghetti sauce, and homemade vegetable soup. I have microwave safe freezer containers

which are a pleasure to have on hand; it's going to cook the same amount of time, how often do you want to repeat all of that work?

Beef stew gets big onion wedges, fresh mushrooms, red wine, and beef broth.

I make mine in the oven in a cast iron dutch oven.

You would need to brown the meat on the stovetop first- Then I guess it's possible to add all the other ingredients and bake it- Not my preferred method either but they are selling oven bakeware! 🤣

We make on stovetop or crock pot. Maybe they heat it up the next day in oven.

Crockpot or stove top for me too when making chili. I've never been fond of stoneware for baking. It's pretty and I know it sells well. Just not my thing.

We have always made our chili on the stovetop. I doubt the Temp rations rep makes it in the oven. Just for demonstration of whatever pot they are selling.

If I am making chili for 20+ people I will cook it in the oven in large serving pans (with sterno). Turns out delicious!!!

Well, so much for Tara and her Mom's plan to use only one dish. As pointed out one cannot cook on stove top with stoneware. Probably just warmed and melted cheese in oven.

I have always cooked chilli on stovetop, unless I forget to cook a couple of hours before dining , then I use instant pot or pressure cooker and ready in about half of the time. Most newer models you can brown in the pot . I do not notice much difference in the taste.

It is definitley chilli weather where I am.
