The ideal book for time-strapped cooks and busy households, Kitchen Classics: Slow Cookers shows you how to transform many foods, particularly meat, into morsels of melting tenderness, with not much more exertion than the flicking of a switch. Slow Cookers have been around since the 1960s and have always had their devotees but now more and more cooks are wising up to the time and budget saving capabilities of the slow cooker.
