Cooking Slow, Cooking Well
I keep trying to remember to put things in the slow cooker and take advantage of letting this nifty appliance cook all day (or all night) while I write or do other things. I went nosing around at Amazon today and found a cookbook I hadn't seen before, and it sounds like a great way to add style to comfort food while keeping the preparation fairly simple. It's The Gourmet Slow Cooker: Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the World.
Everybody told me to get a good size cooker when I finally bought one, so I did. I opted for the Rival Oval Programmable Stainless Steel Crock Pot (5.5-qt). I love that thing! I can put a whole roast in it and have room for plenty of veggies, or I can do baked beans for a big crowd. It's one of the best kitchen appliances I've ever found. I wish I had gotten it sooner. I'm determined to make use of it often this fall and winter.
