Whether you are a busy parent, an experienced chef, or the person in charge of feeding hungry students, slow cooking can ease your life and provide a multitude of other advantages. Once you start using one, it will become a tool you’re never without! What are these benefits? Here are just a few:
- Slow cooking is healthier. Most slow cooker recipes call for fresh, healthy ingredients, and cooking for a long time over low heat allows the meal to retain more nutrients as well as avoid the carcinogens produced from high heat cooking. Also, because everything that is put into the pan is eventually put onto the plate, the precious nutrients that are contained in juices are retained as well.
- Slow cooking saves time. While conventional cooking may require you to be present throughout the whole process, the minimal preparation required for slow cooking is all that’s needed–the labor savings alone for slow cooking often pay off the initial investment.
- Slow cooking saves energy. The vegetables it cooks aren’t the only “green” thing about a slow cooker! It uses remarkably less energy than a conventional oven or gas burner, reducing your energy bill as well as your impact on the environment.
- Slow cooking is easy to clean up after. One pan, nothing charred or stuck onto it. Maybe a cutting board for the cutting or a pan for browning, if that’s required. Either way, you won’t be facing a mountain of pots to clean up after your slow cooking adventure is finished for the day.
