Think of savory soups or stews, cooked long and slow at home. Then casseroles, big pots of baked beans, chili and cabbage rolls. These are often made on the stove top or in the oven. Then in 1971, the Crock Pot by Rival came onto the marketplace and expanded the possibilities in home cooking. Today, the generic term slow cooker is used alongside the brand name Crock Pot. The various modern models are the busy home cook's friend. Many classic comfort foods are also slow cooker classics, easy to make and easy to serve in bowls to warm family and friends snowy winter evenings. The original Crock Pot was an innovation at that time. I remember when these came out, and they were as hot as any modern, small kitchen appliances you see advertised now.
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!
If your hob or hotplate has front and back burners or elements then always use the back ones when you can and turn the saucepan handles away from the front. This prevents children, pets or yourself from getting burned by brushing against or knocking over a hot cooking utensil. Never leave hot items like spoons or ladles near the edge of the work surface where a child or pet could reach them.
Do not cook while wearing artificial nails. If you are handling hot food and pans they can get hot and melt while still attached to your fingers. This can give you a nasty burn. Tell your children that cannot touch the oven door. Only touch the oven door yourself by using the handle and always use oven gloves or a towel. Having an eye level oven is a good idea. Not only is it easier to use but it also keeps the hot door out of reach of small children.
If you have long hair do not just tie it back in the kitchen. Tie it up in a bun or wear a hat. The same goes with clothing. Roll up your sleeves if they are long to keep them from catching on fire from a hot surface.
You won't want to save your slow cooker for annual potluck dinners once you discover all the luscious recipes that you can make with your cooker. Everything from a hot breakfast to a hot toddy can be made in a slow cooker. - 30241
