Hello there, Slow Cookerers!!

Happy Wednesday ---- I hope you are recovering nicely from your Mardi Gras celebrations.

Me? I was asleep on the couch, in a puddle of drool, at about 7:56, after a wild mug full of Sleepy Time tea ....

;-)

Let's talk ALL DAY LONG recipes.

CrockPot Slow Cookers were a standard staple in suburban kitchens in the 70s and 80s.

In the 90s and 2000s, they dipped out of style for a while and then came back, full-force, to kitchens all over the world due to the economic downturn.

The original slogan from the 70s that Crock-Pot used in commercials was:

“cooks all day while the chef is away.”

And this worked REALLY well with the old-school pots that were on the market.

These pots usually were cylindrical in shape and heated only from the bottom of the pot.

Most of these pots also did not have a removeable inserted pot – instead the ceramic cooking pot and the metal cooking base were fused.

This made clean-up difficult and the heat-only-from-the-bottom way of cooking wasn’t ideal when it came to getting food heated through quick enough to ward off bacteria.

SO.

During the “down turn” of slow cooking (90s thru early 2000s, as described earlier)—

Manufacturers decided to Improve the pots and make them safer and more user friendly.

Inserts were redesigned and could now be removed from the cooking base which helped with clean up.

You could now put the cook pot into the dishwasher!

The heating element was also redesigned to heat food from the bottom AND the sides of the pot.

This kept the FDA and scientist-type people happy and kept food borne illness away.

BUT.

There was a side effect from this reconfiguration.

The food no longer COOKED ALL DAY!

And that continues to be a problem for many many people. I know, because they write to me!

so here you go:

enjoy!!!!

Hey Steph, why can't you just copy and paste all of the links here in this email?

---> because if you put too many links inside of an email, the internet gods flag you as a spammer.
And I am not a spammer. (although I DO LOVE a good spam musubi!)

Hey Steph, why is this ebook only $5? That seems ridiculously under-priced?

---> what can I say -- I'm a giver!

lots of love to you and happy slow cooking!!
