Amazon Review:

The “Fast” in Pillsbury Fast Slow Cooker means that all 140 recipes can be prepared in 15 minutes or less (many of them 10 minutes or less). All that’s left is to turn on the slow cooker and let dinner make itself!

(Many other slow-cooker cookbooks contain recipes that can take a while to prepare, with added steps for browning ingredients and other techniques–not what you want to do before heading to work!)You may think of the slow cooker as a life-saver for busy weekday meals–and it is–but Pillsbury Fast Slow Cooker lets you put your slow cooker to work for other occasions, too. Make slow-cooker dips and appetizers for your next party and you’ll have the whole day free to focus on other things. The savory, slow-cooked recipes here include roasts perfect for Sunday dinner, savory sandwiches and soups, vegetable side dishes, and plenty of one dish meals, you may never put your slow cooker back in the cabinet.

Recipes include Caesar Artichoke Dip, Curry-Mustard-Glazed Meatballs, Hot and Spicy Riblets, Open-Faced Italian Brisket Sandwiches, Chicken Tortilla Soup, Chicken with Creamy Paprika Sauce, Teriyaki Pork Ribs for Two, Cheesy Winter Vegetables Casserole, and Vegetable-Rice Pilaf.

Amazon Review:

Who’s hungry? EVERYONE. Who has time to cook? NO ONE. Dig out the slow cooker. Add a second and a third if you wish. Fill one with main-dish fixins and the others with go-alongs. Do it in the morning—or between work and after-school events. Come home to richly-flavored, ready-to-serve food.

Slow cookers are having a comeback. With good reason. They are friends on a day of running errands. They allow easy entertaining with no last-minute preparation. And vegetarians won’t find a better way to work with dried beans. Slow cookers are gentle with the food budget—less expensive ingredients flourish in their slow, moist heat. Fix-It and Forget-It offers the range of recipes slow cookers do well: Appetizers and Snacks, Soups and Stews, Main Dishes (with and without meat), Vegetables and Go-Alongs, Desserts and Beverages. Bring an element of simplicity—and quality—to your pressured life! Let your slow cooker work for you.
