[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i just dont get what is so "convenient" about the slow cooker.  It seems like i have to precook half the ingredients before they go in anyway.  [/quote]

What is convenient is not necessarily the prep--it's having the meal hot and ready when you walk in the door.  On Tuesday's my kids have after school activities that don't get us home until around 6:30.  It's too late at 6:30 for me to start cooking dinner--even if it's making baked chicken, potatoes, and a vegetable.  We wouldn't eat much before 7:15 and if I'm cooking dinner at that time, I'm not helping with homework.

So tonight, after we eat Monday's dinner, I will prep tomorrow nights dinner and throw it all in the crock pot.  I think I'm going to make stuffed peppers.  I put the crock pot in the fridge overnight.  In the morning, as we're all walking out the door, I stick it in the cooking part.  Then when we get home tomorrow night, dinner is ready and waiting the minute we walk in the door.[/quote]
