My slow cooker is one of the best gifts of our marriage, but at the time, the bride had no idea what this incredible gift he received. I had no experience with them, I work full-time mother who feeds her family had survived and 1970 (when they were fashionable) and 80 because they had an automatic oven first, then a microwave. My mother had never truly one of the pots potted orange kitchen counters, the most decorated house70's!

My love for my crockpot was born of frustration, unable to make a delicate stew of beef flavored with ingredients rich in basic, I learned to cook ... So when I discovered the recipe crock pot beef stew to the instruction manual for creating the kind of aroma, taste and texture - from cheaper cuts of meat - I was looking, he began a friendship!

To see how this new toy worked, I stuck with the income classManual for departure, with a pinch of this and feel that after trying the recipe to the letter first. First, I would just like to cook with the crock pot to see if I'm going home, because he was not comfortable with going for 8-10 hours without supervision. However, it was not long until I hope he does something to eat, but gently bubble away and make it perfectly all day. In those days, I could not afford dinner, have ruined ourfood budget was so tight - it was imperative tense of each recipe was a success!

I liked that I could stretch a small amount of a cheaper cut of meat so far. I learned containers Cook red beans and chickpeas and freeze them in the right size to be added to the recipe flat plate. I worked on adding root vegetables and cook the meal, make a meal pot. The more I learned that continue to stretch the dollar, but also has more nutrientsadded to every meal! What a bonus!

As a side effect of the current economic context, I noticed people are always cooking at home. The kitchen is generally in favor again. We are too easy to prepare meals on a budget, tasty and nutritious, according to our busy lifestyle. Meals are flexible, we eat as fast as you eat in school or return to the sport, or a family get together. We want a minimum of effort preparing and cleaningtoo! The knowledge I gained during my twenty years, more than friendship with my pot of good old pitcher told me it was time to revive or introduce a new generation of earthenware cooking!
