Toshiba Slow Cooker Love The Magic Lives On This revised edition of The Vegan Slow Cooker comes almost ten years after the first one. I always get asked if I still love my slow cookers, and I answer with a resounding YES. A versatile appliance, the slow cooker goes way beyond preconceived limitations. It can even stand in for a rice cooker or an oven in a pinch. It’s a great way to extend your kitchen during the holidays, and it can double as a buffet server, too. I fell in love with slow cookers when I was a busy and poor grad student. I moved from North Carolina to Missouri with what I could pack in my car. Of course, that included my Mom’s old slow cooker and, lucky for me, a huge box of beans and grains from the co-op I worked in. Getting Started Some people think a slow cooker is only really useful for cooking meat, and that is just not true. A slow cooker is the perfect tool in a vegan arsenal. I wouldn’t be able to eat as many homemade meals without it. Dry beans cook up like a dream in your slow cooker. It’s great for making soups and stews in the winter, and it also has its place in a summer kitchen. Rules You Really Should Follow Rule #1: Stay at Home the First Time You Use Your Slow Cooker Rule #2: Fill Your Slow Cooker to the Manufacturer’s Recommended Amount Rule #3: Use Common Sense Rule #4: Check the Settings on Your Slow Cooker Rule #5: Know Your Slow Cooker—Older vs. Newer Slow Cookers Rule #6: Taste and Re-season Before Serving Creamy Scalloped Potatoes Creamy, garlicky potatoes are a favorite anytime, but it’s a great dish to bring to a holiday dinner.
