slow cooker/crock-pot

A slow cooker, also known as a crock-pot (after a trademark owned by Sunbeam Products but sometimes used generically in the English-speaking world), is a countertop electrical cooking appliance used to simmer at a lower temperature than other cooking methods, such as baking, boiling, and frying. This facilitates unattended cooking for many hours of dishes that would otherwise be boiled: pot roast, soups, stews and other dishes (including beverages, desserts and dips).

    Crock Pot

    I received this crock pot as a gift a few years back and this will only be the third or fourth time that I have put it to use. I really should use it more often as it is a very versatile kitchen appliance. Slow Cooking is a technique worth exploring and crock pots are the tool.

    Choosing a Slow cooker

    Winter is approaching and I'm thinking of getting a slow cooker, but I have a few questions - For years I've done my stews & casseroles in either a heavy pan on the hob or a casserole dish in the oven. Does a slow cooker really have any advantages over this? I live on my own; what size would...

    bolo
