Slow & Steady • WE ALL KNOW A SLOW COOKER IS A BUSY COOK’S BEST FRIEND AND THE SECRET TO EASY, DELICIOUS DINNERS THAT ARE READY AND WAITING WHENEVER YOU GET HOME. FOLLOW THESE POINTERS AND YOU’LL GET PERFECT RESULTS EVERY TIME YOU TAKE IT SLOW.
There’s An App for That • GET THE PARTY STARTED—AND IN FULL SWING—WITH CREAMY DIPS, CRISPY WINGS, MEATBALLS, AND MORE THAT KEEP YOU OUT OF THE KITCHEN AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUN.
Sip It Slow • AS A POST-LEAF-RAKING TREAT, FOR A HOLIDAY PARTY—OR FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AT ALL—WARM UP WITH A CUP OF SOMETHING SWEET, SPICED, AND SOOTHING. JUST STIR, LADLE, AND SIP.
Set, Sit & Serve! • PREP IT FAST, COOK IT SLOW. THE HANDS-ON TIME FOR THESE RECIPES IS 25 MINUTES OR LESS.
Put an Egg on It • HAILING FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN, SHAKSHUKA IS A DISH OF POACHED EGGS IN A RICHLY SEASONED TOMATO STEW. TAKE THE TRADITIONAL FLAVORS ON A WORLD TOUR WITH FOUR RIFFS ON THE STEWY BASE.
Get a Jump Start on Dinner • SLOW COOKER MEAL KITS ARE THE MAGICIANS OF THE WEEKNIGHT DINNER SHUFFLE. ASSEMBLE A COUPLE OF KITS EARLY IN THE WEEK, POP THEM IN THE FRIDGE FOR UP TO 3 DAYS, THEN LET YOUR SLOW COOKER SOUS CHEF TAKE IT FROM THERE.
Get Shredded! • ENLIST YOUR SLOW COOKER TO MAKE BIG BATCHES OF SAVORY SHREDDED BEEF, PORK, OR CHICKEN AND TUCK PORTIONS AWAY IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER. ON BUSY WEEKNIGHTS, USE AS THE STAR INGREDIENT IN A QUICK-TO-FIX BOWL, SALAD, SANDWICH, NOODLE DISH, OR CASSEROLE—OR ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE RECIPES.
In Praise of the Braise • A LONG, LOW-AND-SLOW COOK IN LIQUID—JUST WHAT YOUR SLOW COOKER DOES BEST—RENDERS ROASTS, RIBS, AND MORE INTO MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH, FORK-TENDER DINNERS THAT WILL WARM YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
Custom-Made Sides • THESE MUST-HAVE HOLIDAY SIDES ARE ANYTHING BUT HUMDRUM WHEN YOU PUT YOUR OWN SPIN ON THEM. WHILE THE TURKEY ROASTS OR THE HAM BAKES, LET YOUR SLOW COOKER HANDLE THE SERVE-ALONGS.
Bowls of Bliss • WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS CHILLY, WRAP YOUR HANDS AROUND A BOWL OF SAVORY SLOW-COOKED SOUP, STEW, OR CHILI. YOU’LL STEP INTO THE HOUSE AT THE END OF A LONG, TIRING DAY TO THE ENTICING PROMISE OF A WARM, EASY MEAL.
Global Flavors From Your Slow Cooker • TAKE A SHORT TRIP TO A DISTANT COUNTRY WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR DINNER TABLE WITH RECIPES INSPIRED BY CUISINES FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
