• hollyglen  on  January 27, 2014

  I love to take chicken breasts and cover them in salsa and cook on low all day. Then take them out and shred them, put them back in the salsa and I have flavorful shredded chicken for tacos, burritos, salad, etc. You can even make it with frozen chicken breasts (for those days I forget to defrost them in advance).

  I love to do lentil and carrot stew in a crockpot – it's not just tasty, but it's also very nutritious. I LOVE slow cookers – I have about 8 or 10 cookbooks for them, but I'm sure this one will top them all! Thanks, guys!

• bookpoet  on  January 27, 2014

  Pork shoulder, which I use as a base for homemade dog food. Of course, I also get part of it as my protein for dinner before the dogs get a chance. No sauce or spices…just well-fatted meat.

• JulesLP  on  January 28, 2014

  My favorite thing to make in my slow cooker; is pork shoulder in root beer and then pulled and tossed with barbecue sauce.

• ChefVinny  on  January 28, 2014

  Gotta be brisket! 🙂

• boardingace  on  January 28, 2014

  I don't have one, but I'd love to win this book for my friend who is due any day now with baby #3 – she loves her slow-cooker and I think she would LOVE this book! From what I've heard, the best thing to cook in a slow-cooker are meats and chilis, but it would be fun to try a dessert from a slow-cooker too!

• Dee369  on  January 28, 2014

  They said "CHICKEN THIGHS" are better in the slow cooker! (Foghorn Leghorn confirmed it.)

  Meatballs!! That was my favorite thing mom made in one growing up

• alisonkc  on  January 30, 2014

  I do steel cut oats every week in my slow cooker, but I think the perfect thing to do is apple butter – it comes out great with much less hands-on work and no worry about scorching.

• grumpybear  on  January 30, 2014

  It's so grad to pick! As a busy mom, I use my slow cooker multiple times a week. A whole chicken is awesome, bc then you have all the shredded meat, & can make stock right in the slow cooker after.

• Jill_in_Vermont  on  January 30, 2014

  Chicken Molé is delicious from my slow cooker. No pre-cooking required.

  love the ribs; but when you make chili in the slow cooker it really allows the flavors to develop beautifully

• Gunnygoo  on  January 31, 2014

  Perfect food to cook in crock pot? Stew of any kind but particularly savory beef with carrots, celery, potatoes and tomatoes.

• jlh39  on  January 31, 2014

  Pork shoulder ties with beef chuck roast as a favorite for the crock pot.

• HungryHaggis  on  January 31, 2014

• Waderu  on  February 1, 2014

  Bone broths. So much easier than on the stove top, since you don't have to worry about scorching or boiling over.

• Foodfann  on  February 12, 2014

  I would say the old steamed puddings and breads, Boston brown bread probably being the best-known example. These had almost died out, as the old method of cooking them required at least 2 hours of stovetop steaming – wasteful of fuel and very impractical, especially here in Florida where I live! The slow cooker has given these desserts a whole new lease on life.

• ladibyrd  on  February 13, 2014

  Pot roast, but it seems like we only remember to use our for making plain beans from dried. Love all the ideas I'm getting just from the comments!
