[quote=Anonymous]Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker is a great cookbook that has a lot of excellent from-scratch recipes. The America's Test Kitchen ones are excellent as well. The thing about slow cooking is that a lot of folks are looking to dump in all the ingredients, set the timer, and come back 8 or 10 hours later to a fabulous meal. This approach sometimes works but many times you end up with food that is overcooked and lacking flavor. it is worth it to do some prep work like browning or searing meats, or adding ingredients halfway through cooking or at the very end. It's more work, but the results are much better than with the set it and forget it method. Also, some slow cookers tend to run hot, even on the simmer or low setting. It's a good idea to experiment with cooking times until you get to know your slow cooker.[/quote]
