Ideal for making comforting dishes like casseroles, stews, soups and pot roasts, the trusty slow cooker is a kitchen appliance that’s known for its convenience.
They work “like magic”, says CNN. “Assemble and prep your ingredients, pop them inside, and lift the lid hours later to reveal a flavour-packed dish that can provide meals for days.”
Surprisingly versatile, the slow cooker can do so much more than just casseroles and stews - you should also think of it as a tool for braising, sautéing and steaming.
Bon Appétit’s Alyse Whitney says: “To better utilise the humble appliance, there are only a few tweaks you need to make. Your slow cooker food doesn’t need to be bland and boring.”
