Which Utensils Are the Most Reliable? - Kitchen Cooking Utensils

Think of savory soups or stews, cooked long and slow at home. Then casseroles, big pots of baked beans, chili and cabbage rolls. These are often made on the stove top or in the oven. Then in 1971, the Crock Pot by Rival came onto the marketplace and expanded the possibilities in home cooking. Today, the generic term slow cooker is used alongside the brand name Crock Pot. The various modern models are the busy home cook's friend. Many classic comfort foods are also slow cooker classics, easy to make and easy to serve in bowls to warm family and friends snowy winter evenings. The original Crock Pot was an innovation at that time. I remember when these came out, and they were as hot as any modern, small kitchen appliances you see advertised now.

These practical cooking tools have evolved into multi-tasking heavyweights. They have lots of bells and whistles that your mother and grandmother would have wanted. Sizes cover a broad range, from 1 quart to 7 quart, even 8 quart capacity. The newest models include programming features, multiple temperature settings, multiple and removable stoneware inserts, hinged lids, clamp-on lids, and the list goes on.

You can even get smaller slow cookers to do vegetable sides. A cheesy spinach bake is a favorite in my house. Or you can throw a quick salad together to go with your meal. Crock-pots have other benefits, too. The energy used by a crock-pot is less than the stove or oven. This is especially useful in winter if you like having hot soups with your meals. You can keep your soup warm in the crock rather than simmering on the burner.

Do not cook while wearing artificial nails. If you are handling hot food and pans they can get hot and melt while still attached to your fingers. This can give you a nasty burn. Tell your children that cannot touch the oven door. Only touch the oven door yourself by using the handle and always use oven gloves or a towel. Having an eye level oven is a good idea. Not only is it easier to use but it also keeps the hot door out of reach of small children.

If you have long hair do not just tie it back in the kitchen. Tie it up in a bun or wear a hat. The same goes with clothing. Roll up your sleeves if they are long to keep them from catching on fire from a hot surface.

Get your crock-pot out (or go get one) and start trying supper, side dish, appetizer, and dessert recipes - you'll be hooked. And the peace of mind you get from having your meal waiting for you is priceless.
