Why You Should Get A Slow Cooker

Slow Cookers Are Foodie-Friendly

As a vegetarian, I can tell you absolutely nothing about preparing meat in a slow cooker, other than that it's very possible. For something that looks so humble, however, slow cookers are extremely versatile. You can prepare stews, casseroles, soups, and curries in your slow cooker — but, wait for it, you can even go for home-made yogurt (you'll need a starter), cakes, pasta sauces, and lasagna. 

The flavors a slow cooker produces are absolutely amazing. The lid traps all the good tastes inside, giving you a meal that tantilizes the taste buds, much more than a stir-fry or boiled meal ever could. When you first get a slow cooker, a world of new recipes you've never explored opens up to you. If you've been stuck in a food rut, it will now end. Trust me.

Slow Cookers Are Frugal And Environmentally Friendly

Purchasing a slow cooker will set you back between $30 and $150, if you don't get something very fancy. Once you have got one, running it takes up the energy of about two normal lightbulbs. They are much more energy efficient than stoves and ovens, helping you save money and the environment at the same time. What's more, you'll have a meal for several days if you're single.

Slow Cookers Give You Healthy Meals

The lower temperatures and closed system provided by a slow cooker prevent the loss of nutrients that comes with other forms of cooking. Relying on low temperatures and small amounts of water to prepare meals, slow cooker recipes do not call for large amounts of oil or fat at all. In short, slow cookers give you healthy meals.

Cooking And Cleaning Up Are Both Effortless

Yes, you do, clearly, have to chop up your veggies and prepare whatever other ingredients your recipe uses ahead of time. Once that is done, however, slow cooker meals require no effort at all. Isn't it amazing to think that you can turn on your slow cooker in the morning, and that your very own mechanical cook works away for you all day, completely safely, while you doing other things? When you come home, all you have to do is dish out some food, eat, and relax. A slow cooker's inner vessel and lid can indeed go in the dishwasher if you have one. I don't, but washing up a lid and vessel, a plate, and a knife and fork is so much easier than washing up a saucepan, frying pan, and cleaning the stove afterwards. What's more, if you have left-overs, which being single I do, you can put the inner vessel with your food straight in the fridge once it has cooled down. Microwave the whole thing the next day, and Bob's your uncle!
