Crock Pot Cook Book - Stop Eating Cereal or Fast Foods for Dinner
Great Review Crock Pot Cook Book - Stop Eating Cereal or Fast Foods for Dinner
It's easy to be too tired to start cooking after a day at
work and then resorting to either eating cereal, getting
fast foods or making frozen dinners.
One thing I've found helpful is to start using the crockpot
I had buried inside the cabinet. Using a good crock pot
cook book enables me to prepare nutritious meals before
heading out to work and having them be ready and heated
through when I return.
I told my friend about this who is a single mom and she
said her kids are thrilled now to have home cooked meals
that taste good and have nice proportion of protein,
carbohydrates and fat.
Here's a few tips to keep in mind:
1) It's recommmended to not put frozen food into the crock
pot. You need to defrots foods in advance so think this
out when you do your meal planning.
2) If you are using ground meat in the recipe it is good to
cook it first in a pan ahead of time.
3) Tomatoes can overcook and get too soft if put in early
so try to wait towards the end of the cooking time. This
holds true for zucchini as well. Check your crock pot cook
book for the ingredient list to think it through logically.
4)Don't peak at what you are cooking. When you pick up the
lead, you let heat escape and then the cooking time will
increase.
5)There are crock pots with removable bowls and using these
make cleanup much easier.
Enjoy your crock pot and be stress free now when you drive
back from work or come in from the kids' soccer games at 7
pm. You can avoid running in for fast foods and eat something
that you'll find satisfying.

Crockpot - Slow Cooker
Best Review Crockpot - Slow Cooker
If you're thinking about buying a Crock pot/Slow Cooker, there are a few things to know before you part with your hard earned cash.
What price should I pay for a good one?
They start from under 10 pounds, which will give you a perfectly good product.
This price will buy you a 2.0 litre capacity Crock-pot/Slow Cooker, so a perfect size for one or two people, and easy to store in a cupboard.
You can find them on line at this price but not always available in the major supermarkets.
Example: Argos.co.uk do a good one, Argos Value Slow Cooker. It's round and only comes in white white, 90 watts, toughened glass lid, cool touch casing, removable crock-pot, dishwasher safe, it has the basic high or low setting, but it does have a keep warm setting. It also comes with a recipe book.
20 pounds will buy you the 3.5 litre capacity and 170-watt power consumption, usually presented in an oval shape, with a removable crock-pot that's dishwasher safe, and the same three settings as the cheaper one, but you are more likely to get a two-year warranty with this one.
What functions are you looking for?
If you want a more "singing dancing" crock-pot, and one that has an international brand name, then checkout the Tefal 4 in 1 range.
You can pick one up on line for just over 50 pounds. It's multi functional and comes in a two-tone black and stainless steel housing. It has a capacity of 3.2 litres, so big enough for a medium to large family.
It has a Rice cooking function, and graduated markings inside the pot to help you set the correct amount of rice to water, and it sorts out its own cooking time automatically!
It can make about 600grams of porridge in four minutes, but does not have keep warm function for this.
It also has a steam basket and the timing on this can be set from 1 minute to an hour.
The down side is that there is no viewing window.
The lid is integrated into the appliance with a hinged locking device; this prevents any cooking smells leaking out, which is ideal if you cook overnight and don't want to wake up first thing in the morning to the aroma of a stew.
It comes with a measuring spoon and recipe book.
Whichever Crockpot you buy will be a good investment; and very economical, easy to use and a fabulous time saver that produces great results. Even the cheaper cuts of meat are slow cooked to perfection. The recipe books that are provided with some models are a good starter for a new crock-pot owner, but thankfully, with the invention of the Internet we now have thousands of Crock-pot recipes at our fingertips.
Tryout this classic recipe.
