Past And Present Of Slow Cookers. Today's Rival Crock Pot and similar slow cookers are little different from their predecessors in their basic function, but they do have more control options as well as more up-to-date styles.
Digital Programming Feature. Some crock pots have digital programming controls so you can set the appliance to cook for a certain length of time at one temperature and then another period at a different temperature.
Soups And Stews Magnifique. Whether your crock pot is old or new, chances are it's in the back of a cupboard and you don't use it to its fullest advantage. Crock pots really are the best choice for many kinds of soups and stews, where steady cooking at a controlled temperature brings out the best flavors without toughening the meat or turning the vegetables to mush.
Creating An Extra Burner For Parties. Even if you're planning to be in the kitchen all day anyway, preparing for a feast, the slow cooker effectively gives you an extra burner.Crock pots also make good food warmers for parties, especially for thick preparations, like mashed potatoes or chili that would scorch over a Sterno-powered chafing dish. Each crock pot design carries a weighted appliance cover in order to create a good seal.
The Original "Miner's Wife" Slow Cooker. The principle of the slow cooking crock pot predates electrical appliances, of course. A "miner's wife," popular with prospectors in the nineteenth century, was an iron Dutch oven full of food that was started on the campfire and then buried in a straw-filled box in a pit all day. Dinner was ready when the miner came back to camp.
Nowadays, a crock pot slow cooker serves the same purpose for busy households where everyone is off to work all day and hungry when they get home.
