Many different types of dishes and can be made low and slow in your favorite kitchen appliance. Everything from cakes and roasts to hearty soups and Buffalo wings — slow-cookers can really do it all. Using a slow-cooker is nearly foolproof, and it keeps your hands free to do whatever else you need to do.  The slow-cooker is especially handy if you are planning to entertain; it makes it easy to serve a group of people, and it frees up oven and stovetop space for other cooking and baking needs. Another plus is that electricity is cheaper than gas (if that's your usual cooking fuel) — so using a slow-cooker is a bonafide win all around. Perhaps best way to capture the greatness of slow-cookers is to describe that magical moment  when you cross the threshold of your home and are met with the aroma of delicious smelling food just waiting for you to dig in — an experience that's all the sweeter if the day was particularly trying. With our 101 Best Slow-Cooker recipe round up we can help you recreate that moment every single day of the week. Keep your slow-cooker working around the clock and never be at a loss for a recipe again.
