Cooking with a slow cooker
Slow cookers allow you to go home to a flavorful one-pot meal ready to eat All you have to do is to prepare the ingredients in the morning, put them in the slow cooker and leave it. No mess, no dishes to clean, and little time spent in the kitchen. This also means less work and faster preparation time.
Compared to ovens, slow cookers require a significantly lower amount of electricity. This means lower bills for you to pay. Another money-saver is that with slow cookers, you can buy less expensive, tougher meats because the slow cookers will make them more tender.
Slow cooking with Dutch ovens
There will be days when you want to make one of these dishes and maybe you didn't think to set up your slow cooker before you left. Or maybe you're home and you'd just rather use your Dutch oven. Go ahead! For every recipe, we've given you directions for the Dutch oven as well. In your Dutch oven, you can still have tender, succulent meats, but you can brown them quickly without dirtying an extra skillet. Also, your Dutch oven is just as happy in the oven as it is on your stovetop, so it's one of the most versatile pots you likely own. And you will have only one pot to clean! Most recipes can be made ahead of time too! Talking about an easy way to plan and prepare your meals!
