Slow cookers are a great tool for busy home cooks - delicious appetizers, soups, stews, entrées, side dishes, and even desserts can be made while you’re at work or out running errands. The humble slow cooker has always been about value and convenience: more affordable cuts of meat cook to tender perfection while poultry and fish remain succulent and flavorful. Appetizers stay warm throughout a party while vegetables and side dishes are easy additions to family dinners. For more adventurous cooks, the slow cooker can be used to make homemade breads, warm sandwiches, and delectable desserts.
