Book Reviews of Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook
Book Review: Not up to par with other Betty Crocker books
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted to love this cookbook. I swear by the regular Betty Crocker cookbook, and figured I couldn't go wrong with this one. I have made several recipes out of it, at least 5 but probably more. They turn out OK, but I haven't made any of them again. Out of what I've tried, the best has been the chili, but you can get a chili recipe anywhere. It really doesn't have that many recipes either. I would recommend the "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker" cookbook over this - it has a ton more recipes and all the ones I have tried have been extremely tasty.

Slow cookers are not only for the work-a-day world; they're also very convenient for entertaining and when stove/oven are being used for other food preparations. It is perfect for making crowd-size hot beverages, such as hot chocolate or mulled cider, and it keeps dips and side dishes hot for several hours, making it perfect for hassle-free entertaining and meal making.

That's why cooks in a hurry will welcome Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook, an updated guide to using this ultimate all-in-one-pot meal maker. The book opens with a quick refresher on how to best use a slow cooker and then offers tips on adapting other recipes to this alternative cooking method. The recipes provided include obvious candidates like long-simmered soups--a goulash or stew--and slow-roasted meats such as pot roast. These dishes are guaranteed to convert newcomers to the appliance, while the unexpected recipes will please more familiar hands. Amazingly enough, you can make ribs, casseroles, pot pies, fondues, and even cakes in a slow cooker--and Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook will tell you exactly how. --Sumi Hahn Almquist
