Is your crock-pot sitting hidden inside one of your cabinets? It's time to take it out! A crock-pot, or slow cooker, is an efficient, energy-saving, and time-saving little (or big!) item. It can really reduce stress in the kitchen. It also allows you to easily serve home-cooked, healthy meals to your family. I'm a mother just like you, and honestly, it's hard to get home cooked food on the table every day. Life is just hectic and there are so many responsibilities for us as moms. Sometimes I'm just tired - and by the time 5:30pm rolls around I certainly don't want to cook. This can result in our families eating fast food, or processed convenience foods much more often than we'd like to. This costs a lot of money - and it costs the health of the family.
You should never hang kitchen utensils behind the stove, hot plate or grill. This is because when you reach over to get a utensil you might have to reach over a hot saucepan or other hot surface and put yourself in danger of getting burnt.
You can even get smaller slow cookers to do vegetable sides. A cheesy spinach bake is a favorite in my house. Or you can throw a quick salad together to go with your meal. Crock-pots have other benefits, too. The energy used by a crock-pot is less than the stove or oven. This is especially useful in winter if you like having hot soups with your meals. You can keep your soup warm in the crock rather than simmering on the burner.
Summertime is a great time to use the slow cooker, too. The kitchen doesn't get hot while it's cooking! You can cook great crowd-pleasing favorites like casseroles, dips, and chilies easily in your crock-pot - then you relax and enjoy the fun, too! Crock-pots are safe. You can leave it on all day while you're running errands, going to appointments, or even while you're at work. When you get home dinner is done! Tiny, dip-sized crock-pots can work well at the office to warm up small servings of soup or leftover casseroles right by your desk (of course your co-workers are going to be jealous of that wonderful smell!)
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.
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.
