Dig Out Your Slow Cooker for Mals that Practically Make Themselves
In the old days, we called them Crock-Pots.® Popular in the ’70s, when they came in interesting colors like avocado green and harvest gold, our mothers loaded them with hearty stews and meats, which soon filled the air with mouthwatering aromas. But eventually chic, new cooking aids like woks and gas grills came on the market, and the homely slow cooker got put in its corner.
It’s time to rediscover slow cookers. Today’s families have jam-packed schedules, leaving little time to make healthy meals. Fast food may be a quick option, but it’s often an unhealthy one. The humble slow cooker lets you quickly prepare healthy, tasty, homemade meals for your families for a very low cost. It doesn’t get any better than this.

Saves You Money
Since slow cookers use low temperatures over a long period, they are able to
make tougher, less- expensive cuts of meat - chuck roasts, shoulder cuts, bottom-round roasts - taste tender and juicy.
It’s All In There
Wait until the final 30 minutes of cooking to add tender foods such as seafood and quick-cooking pastas.
Moist and Juicy!
Don’t experiment with the amount of liquid in a recipe - liquids don’t evaporate
in cookers.
