The crock-pot is a perfect solution to this problem. Pull yours out of the cabinet (once you've started using it you may realize you want a couple of them, I can have a 3-course meal going in the crock-pot for my family of 6!) All you need to do to get your slow cooker ready to go is a good recipe (you can find tons of great ones online). Then you get your meat and vegetables ready, throw them into the crock-pot, add spices and liquids and you're done. You put the crock on the setting the recipe instructs and then you can literally forget it. Go about your day and don't worry about supper-time. Your meal will be ready when you are!
Slow cookers continue to be popular because they serve the needs of busy moms and home cooks to make easy, delicious meals for their families. You can create a meal, set it cooking, and have dinner underway while doing other tasks. Or, cook the meal overnight, refrigerate it while you are away from home, and reheat it at dinner time in your microwave.
The innovations found in today's cookers are born directly from customer experience over the years. Stoneware inserts are removable for cleaning. Temperature controls allow for a broad range of cooking methods, and programmable features let you control the settings as your dish cooks. Some even include a probe which is inserted into the meal, to monitor the progress of recipes that require the food to reach a certain temperature.
You can get a new crock-pot at almost any store. The variety of colors and sizes is wonderful, so you can find the perfect fit for your kitchen. The simplest models offer a dial to choose from "low" or "high." I highly recommend you get a slightly nicer model that offers a "warm" option as well - it comes in handy. You can also get digital, programmable crock-pots, which can be especially good if you're a busy working mother and need to get out the door early.
Get your crock-pot out (or go get one) and start trying supper, side dish, appetizer, and dessert recipes - you'll be hooked. And the peace of mind you get from having your meal waiting for you is priceless.
