Slow cookers are great and probably best known for preparing a pot roast dinner. Searing the meat prior to cooking locks in the flavor and creates an essence that can be added to the water or broth that’s necessary to crock pot cooking. Potatoes, carrots, and onions go into the cooker with the meat and are then cooked for eight hours. Fresh ground pepper, a pinch of salt, oregano, and garlic can be used to season the meal.
Asian foods can also be adapted to the slow cooker. The rice or noodles can be cooked on the stove and the noodles added when the food is done cooking and ready to eat. Asian cooking makes use of fresh ginger, fish sauce, mushrooms, corn, Asian cabbage (bok choy), miso, tofu, noodles, and several spices. The taste can be mild and flavorful or hot and spicy depending on the preference of those consuming the meal. Peanuts are also employed in Chinese cooking.
