The most famous slow cooker brand, the “Crock-Pot," was sold by the Rival Manufacturing Co. However, Rival was not the inventor of the slow cooker device. Instead, credit goes to Irving Naxon, who, in 1936, created a portable device in which to cook his family’s cholent stew recipe. Today’s slow cookers are super easy to use. All one needs to do is plug it in, add ingredients, cover, and turn it on to a high or low setting for the desired amount of cooking time. The food generally requires no stirring or attention, and the cooker will beep when the meal is ready. Most recipes can be prepped in the morning and are fully cooked by dinner time. Folks often find it pleasurable to walk into the kitchen to capture delicious scents arising from the slow cooker. Being able to put a scrumptious meal on the table in minutes is a great bonus. Enjoy these two-three main- ingredient recipes that are bound to taste delicious. Note that cooking times are approximate, and meat must be cooked through.
