Summary



Chapter One

The first chapter of 200 Slow Cooker Recipes introduces ways to use a slow cooker, the basics of slow cooker cooking, and tips and techniques for getting the most out of your slow cooker. Various slow cooker types and sizes are discussed, as well as the benefits of slow cooking. The chapter also outlines the kinds of foods that work best for slow cooker recipes, such as soups, stews, casseroles, roasts, and side dishes.

A few real-life examples of how to use a slow cooker and the tips and techniques outlined in the chapter might be making a pot roast in the slow cooker. To begin, you will need to season the roast with herbs, garlic, and some olive oil. Put the roast right in the slow cooker, add onion soup mix, and a bit of red wine. Lastly, add some potatoes, carrots, and celery around the roast. Once everything is in place, you will want to set the slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours. When it is done cooking, you will have a perfectly cooked, tender pot roast that is ready to enjoy.

Chapter Two

The second chapter of 200 Slow Cooker Recipes is all about slow cooker ingredients. It provides an overview of the ingredients that work best in slow cooker recipes, as well as ways to choose and cook with them. It also covers items like herbs and spices, fats and oils, and other pantry staples.

An example of how to use the tips and techniques in this chapter might be when preparing a healthy slow cooker vegetable soup. Start by sautéing some onions in a bit of olive oil with garlic and a pinch of thyme, then transfer them into the slow cooker. Next, you can add in all your favorite vegetables, such as kale, carrots, celery, and zucchini. For flavor, you can also add in some canned diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, and a few pinches of oregano. Lastly, cook the soup on low for 6-8 hours until all the vegetables are tender.

Chapter Three

The third chapter of 200 Slow Cooker Recipes is all about slow cooker instructions. It provides step-by-step instructions for using your slow cooker and optimizing your cooking time, as well as tips for adapting recipes that were not specifically designed for a slow cooker.

An example of how to use the tips and techniques outlined in this chapter might be when preparing a slow cooker chili. Start by browning your ground beef in a skillet, then add it to the slow cooker. Next, pour in a can of black beans, a can of diced tomatoes, some chicken broth, and some chili powder. For extra flavor, add in cumin and a bit of cayenne pepper. Lastly, set the slow cooker on low and allow the chili to cook for 8 hours. When it is done cooking, it will be a flavoursome and hearty chili that everyone will love.
