The Betty Crocker slow cooker product line offers some great cooking related products. This includes both the Betty Crocker slow cooker and the recipes/cookbooks. These Crock Pots are great for making all kinds of soups, meats (beef and chicken), vegetables, and more. Along with the cooker itself, you can also buy an assortment of recipes and cookbooks that have all sorts of ideas and suggestions of what you can make with the Betty Crocker cooker.
Though the slow cooker may seem slightly expensive (between fifty and one hundred and fifty dollars depending on where you purchase), it pays for itself very quickly. This lifelong cooking aide can help make all kinds of lunches and dinners. Some examples of the hearty and healthy dishes you can make with it are: fresh and delicious spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, hearty chili, rice or risotto, vegetable/tomato soup, chicken or beef soup, seafood, pastas, all kinds of desserts and more.
The best part about the cookbooks and the cooker is, that many of the recipes allow you put your ingredients together, set the timer, and then leave it alone to cook the food by itself. You can set a recipe up, go out and run some errands, and then come home to a delicious dinner that is ready to serve. With fairly simple to learn techniques the Crock Pot is an easy benefit to any cook with any level of experience. This could help anyone from a mom who has tons of errands to run and not a lot of time to cook, to a college student who needs simple but delicious healthy recipes.
As someone who owns a Betty Crocker slow cooker, I would personally recommend it to any home chef out there of any skill level. I use the cooker and the recipes in the cookbooks for many of my meals. I find it to be relatively simple and easy to use. These reasonably priced Betty Crocker products are easily worth the money, as they not only pay for themselves in a lifetime of use, but also give great insight towards making simple and delicious dishes.
