We'll get her book I think. I love using the slow cooker. It makes you feel like you've just had a meal prepared for you when you come back home and have almost forgotten preparing it earlier. I like that, and of course, the long cooking time definitely makes stuff taste better.Yogi Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675786498522531127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-7732545252850950642012-09-27T18:32:50.035-07:002012-09-27T18:32:50.035-07:00Great review!

I am a fan of collards raw or cooked, but there's something about that deep, intense flavor they get after a long cooking time that is something special. I imagine after a round in the slow cooker, they're buttery soft. I like your idea of cooking part of a meal for company in the slow cooker to ease off some of the last minute pressure when guests arrive, especially if the time is flexible, like at the holidays.Cadryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399243851341274599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-35093145748363644862012-09-27T18:09:45.775-07:002012-09-27T18:09:45.775-07:00i've heard great things about this book as wel...i've heard great things about this book as well :) what a great review!

Mostly beans and stock, but it does make amazing awesome and easy stock. I love it for just that. Mine is old from the thriftstore, so it's not my favorite to leave the house when it's on, but I do use it a lot overnight.<br /><br />xo<br />kitteeKitteeBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586088933112729165noreply@blogger.com
