Slow Cookers & Crock Pots- The Scoop

March 21, 2006 By Delia

Let’s talk crock pots & slow cookers.  It does look like Phil may have had it right, seeing his shadow.  The cold weather is back so I thought we’d dig out that crock pot once again.  I don’t hear any complaints!

First, the facts.  The first actual slow cooker was introduced in the early 1970 by Rival, under the trademark ‘Crock-Pot’.  Today, two models of this appliance are on the market:  multi-cookers & the original slow cooker.  Multi-cookers are highly useful & functional in that they can be used to deep-fry, steam & slow cook; while slow cookers generally just have an insert that rests in a metal housing unit only intended to do just that- slow cook.

A fantastic multi-cooker on the market is the Deni 5-In-1 Multi-Cooker. This versatile multi-cooker lets you deep fry, slow cook, sauté, bake and boil in one convenient appliance.  Very handy around the kitchen.  Cost, $100.

Stay tuned for the upcoming I’ve Died & Gone to Heaven Chicken Slow Cooker / Crock Pot Recipe.
