Are you looking for great tasting, healthy self-made dinners that may also save a little money? If so, then slow cookers are definitely the best. Slow cookers also known as Crock pots were initially brought to the market by Rival in 1971. During this period the main purpose and focus was on feeding busy expanding families and so slow cookers were often presented as marriage gifts in anticipation of little ones to come.
The crock pot is designed to produce a large amount of moisture as well as heat and what makes it stand out is that it will also turn lower priced cuts of meat of all sorts into a melt in your mouth succulent, tender, tasty meal. Because inexpensive cuts are actually the most flavorful, you're in for a treat!
Now when it comes to the best beef cuts to buy for your slow cooker, you should get the beef that is labeled by the butcher as round, chuck, shank, or anything that instructs you to braise for best results. When it comes to making homemade beef stew, this is just the kind of meat you want in your shopping cart. Stew.
Here are 7 reasons we LOVE the slow cooker:
1. Slow cooking comes with many wonderful health benefits. Let's face it. It is alot better for you than some of the traditional ways we cook food.
2. The slow cooker will help keep your food warm without overcooking it. You can turn the crock pot on low, leave to do others things and then return to a meal that is ready for you to eat. Multi-tasking at it's best!
3. Using the slow cooker is more energy efficient than conventional ovens.
4. With the slow cooker you only need one pot for dinner and it's easy to store away.
5. Using the crock pot makes for easy cleaning, since most are made of non stick material on the interior and exterior of the pot.
6. Some are very versatile. You can get one product that you can use for almost all of your cooking needs: stewing, deep frying, boiling, roasting, steaming and more.
7. You can program most crock pots. Just set when you want it to start cooking and stop cooking and it will do so automatically. It's like an extra pair of hands in the kitchen!
