Publisher's Synopsis
Slow cooking is back - and more popular than ever. There are many advantages to using an electric slow cooker. Great for busy cooks and those with families, preparation time is kept to a minimum. Because slow cookers work at a low heat and with their lids kept on, hardly any moisture is lost during cooking and food stays moist and tender. Different settings and cooking speeds mean that dishes can cook over an entire day, or at twice the speed with very similar results. Suitable for cooks of all levels of experience, The Book of Slow Cooking contains over 85 recipes for a range of dishes from delicious soups, to warming casseroles and sumptuous desserts. A helpful introduction provides advice for using the slow cooker and getting the best results, as well as handy hints for care and maintenance. With simple step-by-step instructions accompanied by full color photography, The Book of Slow Cooking is the ideal companion to this exciting cooking method.
