The Italian Slow Cooker: $15.4 With the Italian Slow Cooker, every cook who can spare 10 minutes of prep time can leave the house for work (or retire for the night) and return to a meal that tastes as though it had been coddled all day by and Italian grandmother. Michele Scicolone, a respected authority on Italian cooking, shows how fresh ingredients and a few simple steps can lift dishes well beyond the usual “crockpot cooking,” while keeping all the plug-it-in-and-walk-away convenience. In addition to providing scores of Italian classics that beg for a slow cooker (Turkey Meatball and Escarole Soup; Meat and Mushroom Ragu), Scicolone shows how a slow cooker can make “stir-crazy” dishes like polenta and risotto without any stirring at all. 125 authentically Italian recipes and full-color photos throughout.

Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: $11.99 Author autographed bookplates available! While supplies last. Make It Fast, Cook It Slow offers up the irresistible success stories (i.e. recipes) from rising mom blogger star Stephanie O’Dea’s 2008 daily blogs about cooking crockpot meals for her family of four–a spouse and two young daughters, one of them with a wheat allergy.Each “day” in the book provides a recipe that anyone can make, plus beguiling commentary about how that recipe went over with Stephanie O’Dea’s own family. Seasons, vacations, school schedules, picky-child eaters–all of these challenges come into play, yet O’Dea manages to use her crockpot to feed her family economically and healthfully.O’Dea’s assessments of each recipe are fresh, quick and funny. The dishes include a staggering range of easy culinary possibilities, from classics (Beef Stew, Minestrone Soup) and kid-friendly dinners (Philly Cheesesteaks, Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings) to gourmet fare (Tomatoes and Goat Cheese with Balsamic Cranberry Syrup, Blue Cheese Potato Soup with Olive Tapenade) and more than a few logistically improbable creations (Fruit Leather and a crockpot Cheesecake, which O’Dea declares “a complete success”).This book will be the best of the year’s recipes, plus enough new recipes to fill out 365 days of crockpotting (in place of recipes she tried in 2008 that didn’t work as well or needed to be tweaked). While many of the year’s recipes will remain online for a time, the book will give buyers an opportunity to have all of the best recipes in one place and forever.

The Up And Down Side Of Crockpot Cooking

In my ‘un-biased’ opinion, the crockpot / slow cooker is one of the most convenient and easy to use appliances in my kitchen. The time savings features of the slow cooker and the delicious dinners that have resulted more than offset any minor drawbacks.

Before I list my top reasons why the crockpot is the most useful appliance in any kitchen, I will list a few of the areas where it does not perform as well.

- Large cuts of meat such as boneless prime rib or leg of lamb are still best when oven roasted.

- Except for stews and chowders, the slow cooker does not cook fish very well.

- The slow cooker collects a lot of the juices since the steam does not escape during cooking and these juices can become diluted and watery, which can affect the flavoring of the food.

- If not careful, a slow cooker can overcook food -especially some of the more tender meats and poultry.

These drawbacks are relatively minor compared to the positives which I will list now.

- The slow cooker needs virtually no tending while it cooks, freeing you up to do other chores or recipes.

- The slow cooker will tenderize less expensive, tough cuts of meat and make great stews out of them.

- The slow cooker allows you to be out of the kitchen for extended periods of time -sometimes even all day.

- Burning your food is rarely a problem. The slow cooker will make many dishes for you better than any other appliance -especially those that tend to stick to the bottom of a pan.

In my opinion the slow cooker is one of the most under-utilized and yet superior of kitchen appliances. When used for what it does best, you will find that you are able to prepare great dishes in less time than you thought possible!
