Slow   Cookers   are   a   burn-proof   (usually)   cooking   method.   An   easy   method   to cook    delicious,    great    flavored    meals    for    your    family    without    the    need    to actually   be   standing   in   your   kitchen   during   the   process.   Assemble   it   the evening   before,   refrigerate   overnight,   turn   it   on   as   you   leave   for   work   and enjoy   when   you   come   back   home.   MANY   of   the   “Stovetop”   Recipes   in   this   site may   be   EASILY   converted   to   a   Slow   Cooker   Recipe.   Most   slow   cookers   have   an easily   washable   heavy   ceramic   liner   that   retains   heat   even   when   off.   There   are many   brands   and   options   available   for   you   to   select   from.   Since   I   mostly   use mine   for   easy   to   reheat   as   a   dish-to-pass   container,   I   prefer   a   unit   with   a locking   lid   to   prevent   spillage   while   transporting   in   the   car.   I   also   own   several different   sizes,   from   a   small   1   quart   unit   for   dips   and   toppings   up   to   a   large   7 quart   model   for   Soups   &   Casseroles.   Most   units   have   high   and   low   cooking temperatures   and   a   keep-warm   to   keep   the   dish   hot   during   serving.   Models available   are   the   “original”   lower   quality   slow   cooker      (Crock-Pot)   to   Hamilton Beach,   Cuisinart,   Instant   Pot   up   to   the   highly   rated   All-Clad.   Available   plastic liners make clean-up a snap.
