The first slow cookers appeared on the market in the early '70s and their popularity has never stopped growing. The original slow cooker was called a crockpot, because of the ceramic 'casserole' inside the cooker, and the name 'crock pot' is now often used generically. Today, the numbers of slow-cooker enthusiasts are growing, as they learn from their friends how useful a slow cooker can be.

From students to business people, slow-cooker users can't praise enough the joy of being able to get a meal together with the minimal amount of preparation and then to come home after a busy day to a hot meal that's ready to eat. These days, too, as people aim to save on fuel for cooking the slow cooker has earned its place in the modern kitchen. Because on average it saves about 80 percent of the energy of normal cooking, you couldn't ask for a better way to produce a nourishing and healthy hot meal that's eco-friendly.

The attraction goes further than this. Cheaper cuts of meat that need longer cooking are transformed into meltingly tender and flavorful meals. Food keeps moist, and the flavors and nutrients are trapped in, because the gentle heat creates less evaporation, and as the steam condenses on the lid it drips back into the casserole taking the flavors with it. The flavors of soups, casseroles, and stocks blend and meld beautifully, meats cook to be rich and tender with little shrinkage, and because food is not turned during cooking, it doesn't break up, so softer ingredients such as fish and fruit cook perfectly and remain whole.

With the steam sealed in, you will also notice that there is less in the kitchen than when you cook with a conventional cooker.

Because slow cookers have at least two settings, you can choose to cook on Low - so your dish cooks all day while you are out at work taking half the time. The perfect option for our busy lifestyles.

All in all, the slow-cooker experience is one that is appealing to more and more people. This book contains a selection of the tastiest and quickest dishes to appeal to veteran slow-cooker users and those who have just discovered this wonderful piece of kitchen equipment.

We hope you will enjoy them.
