Slow cookers
Slow cookers cook a savory dinner while you work or play hard. A slow cooker can be a busy cook’ s best friend. Slow cookers slowly cook food at a constant temperature while you are free to catch up on work or other activities. There are several features of slow cookers that you should consider before you purchase one:
• Settings: slow cookers have at least two settings, high and low. Many slow cookers have multiple settings. The newer slow cooker designs also have a programmable feature that can be useful if, for instance, your meal is fully cooked before you arrive home. In that case, you can program your slow cooker ahead of time to only cook the meal a certain number of hours and then switch to a “keep warm” mode.
• Removable interior pot – this important to most cooks for ease in serving and cleaning. It is easier to remove the interior pot to serve from in on the dining table than to haul the entire appliance to the table. Cleaning is also much easier with a removable pot. You can scrub and soak a removable pot more easily in a kitchen sink.
• Slow cookers cook a meal over several hours. The flavors and textures of slow cooked meals are generally pleasing and are often labeled as “comfort foods.”Slow cookers are often associated with winter season meals because slow cookers cook stews, soups and casseroles well and those foods are typical winter meals. Slow cookers are, however, just as helpful in summer cooking as winter cooking. Slow cookers are appliances that simplify busy lives and encourage togetherness at mealtime.
