Product Description
From Amazon
Very rarely does going slow save time, but that's exactly what happens when slow cookers are involved. There's nothing easier than prepping the night before and then turning on the cooker in the morning, so that when you return home from work, dinner is hot and waiting to be enjoyed. That's why cooks in a hurry will welcome Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook, an updated guide to using this ultimate all-in-one-pot meal maker. The book opens with a quick refresher on how to best use a slow cooker and then offers tips on adapting other recipes to this alternative cooking method. The recipes provided include obvious candidates like long-simmered soups--a goulash or stew--and slow-roasted meats such as pot roast. These dishes are guaranteed to convert newcomers to the appliance, while the unexpected recipes will please more familiar hands. Amazingly enough, you can make ribs, casseroles, pot pies, fondues, and even cakes in a slow cooker--and Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook will tell you exactly how. --Sumi Hahn Almquist

Disappointed!,
This review is from: Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook (Spiral-bound)
When I bought this book I expected more. All the recipes just take ingredients from a can, frozen package or a ready-made mix and throw it all together in the slow cooker. I am a from-scratch cook and that's what I was looking for - good recipes that use fresh ingredients AND the slow cooker. If that's what you're looking for, don't buy this book. If, on the other hand, you are fine with all canned good being thrown together to make a one-dish meal, and simplicity is your main goal (and you WILL sacrifice taste!) then this book is ok for you.

This review is from: Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook (Spiral-bound)
Although this is a fine cookbook, my wife and I were startled to find that many of the recipes contained here are identical or very similar to ones contained in "Pillsbury Doughboy Slow Cooker Recipes" book. Even some of the pictures are identical.Our advice: buy one or the other, but not both!

This review is from: Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook (Spiral-bound)
The recipes are mediocre. It's too old-fashioned for me. I don't like the "throw a can of condensed soup in" kind of cooking. I really prefer either "Good Housekeeping"s slow cooker cookbook or "Slow Cookers for Dummies"
