When most people think of slow cooking, they may consider the seasons of fall and winter, when the short days, cold afternoons, and long night’s pair well with fragrant, slow-cooked dishes slowly filling the house with savory aromas. Fortunately, those two seasons aren’t the only ones that pair well with slow cooking. There are also distinct advantages and benefits to slow cooking in summer.

One advantage to slow cooking in summer is that slow cooking recipes keep you out of the kitchen for most of the day. Once the preparation is done and the food is in the cooker, you’re free to pursue your summer days as you’d like. That means much less slaving over a hot stove and much more frolicking in the sunshine.

Another advantage to slow cooking in summer is that many backyard barbeque recipes and cookout fares lend themselves nicely to this preparation method. To prove our assertion, we suggest that you try some Cola Chipotle Pork Tortas as an entrée item with a side of Santa Fe Black Beans. Both of these slow-cooker recipes are sure to tempt the taste buds. Better yet, they require less time in the kitchen than some of the more labor-intensive summer options.
