Programmable Crock Pot

There are some really fantastic recipes for crock pots and they are almost always easy to follow. However, the obstacle to preparing more complicated dishes with the early crock pots was that there was only one control: on and off and an automatic thermostat, which you had no control over.

This was fine, if you just wanted to put a load of vegetables and a few pieces of meat in the crock pot and go off to work, knowing that the stew or whatever would be ready when you got home. However, now you can get a programmable crock pot and everything has changed..

For example, with a programmable crock pot, you could have the pot boil quickly for 10 minutes to get the food cooking more quickly, thereby shortening the cooking time or you could have the programmable crock pot turn itself off after a certain number of hours, so that you can add a delicate ingredient when you get home.

And you do not have to worry about the modern crock pots looking ugly. Look at the Rival Versaware crock pot range for example, they would look good in any kitchen.

A programmable crock pot really means that you do not have to have everything cooked to a mush, if you are a bit late back. I have put a recipe below which works far better with a programmable crock pot that an on/off type. I hope you enjoy it.
