Book Reviews of Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook

Book Review: Great basic slow cooker cookbook
Summary: 4 Stars

I've been using this cookbook for over 7 years and it is a great cookbook. It isn't a super fancy one but it teaches you the basics and has a wide variey of dishes. It includes everything from appetizers to desserts to sides and a wide variety of main dishes. Tonight I was able to make "Beef and Potatoes with Rosemary" for the meal and "Hot Fudge Sundae Cake" for dessert in my smaller crockpot. It made for super easy entertaining, just adding a salad and bread and dinner was done.

The intro. gives good must-know tips for slow cooking. A unique, useful feature is it also gives great recipes for those leftovers you often have with large crockpot cooking. I have liked EVERY recipe I've cooked with this and have compliments from others EVERY time I serve from this book. I would recommend this to anyone unless they like super fancy, elaborate cooking.

Most recipes have cooking times of 8 to 10 hours, so they can be started at the beginning of the day and be ready for dinnertime. 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.

Very rarely does going slow save time, but that's exactly what happens when slow cookers are involved.

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.

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
