Slow learner
Oct. 23rd, 2009 02:27 pmI just bought a new slow cooker. I have had them before, and never used them, so I hope this time is different. This one is small, 2-quarts, so more suitable to my singleness.
So far, I've made steel-cut oats (2x) and white beans (1x). All came out excellent.
I'm going to try bean soup this weekend. I made a lot of soups last winter on the stove. With a slow-cooker I can leave the house with the soup cooking, which I'm reluctant to do with something on the gas stove!
I'm not convinced about beef stew. It would be nice if it actually worked. Some day I'll try it.
Nice thing about beans in the SC is that I control the sodium. Having borderline high blood pressure, I should ease up on the salt.
Can any of you point me to a good resource for simple slow cooker recipes?
