I just love the fact that a slow cooker does about 80% of the work for you because it usually involves a one-step process. All you do is dump everything in the crockpot and let it work its magic. Even better, you can leave it cooking without worrying that your food will burn while getting other things done. Wow! Talk about effective multitasking.

Moreover, a slow cooker is surprisingly affordable and very energy-efficient too. It doesn’t cost a fortune.

In fact, it uses less electricity than the oven. Not yet convinced? Then take a good look at these 12 Easy Slow Cooker Recipes! 😉

FAQs

How does a slow cooker work?

It works by generating low heat from the base and sides, cooking the food inside slow and steady at a constant temperature. This, keeping the food moist and evenly cooked.

Is it cheaper to cook in a slow cooker?

Yes. In fact, it’s one of the most energy-efficient kitchen appliances because it uses less electricity than an oven. It only uses 150-210 watts, and even lower if you set it on low power, about 75-150 watts. Moreover, the appliance purchase price is also economical. So, double yaaaay!

Slow cooker or pressure cooker?

Well, it really depends on your preference. If you’re in a hurry, a pressure cooker is the best option. But if you need to go to work or run errands while dinner is cooking, go for a slow cooker. Both are fantastic time-saving options that offer great value for the money.
