Quickies: No-work comfort food
No-work comfort food
Never used a slow cooker? Use it just once or twice and we guarantee you'll be hooked.

Think of your slow cooker as an electric casserole--it gently cooks food with a low, steady, moist heat. All you need to do is toss in a large piece of meat or chicken or a bean combo and a few spices before heading to work or play. Then return to a piping hot ready-to-eat dinner.
On the menu:

 


 

• Lamb shanks à la Grecque

• Pork with onion gravy
