Slowcooker is the only kitchen appliance a gambler needs.

just add the ingrediants right after the wife goes to work. 8 hours later, an awesome homemade dinner that looks like it took hours to make. Use the time to get real work done.

Gotta love the ol slow cookers!

I was just shopping for one yesterday. Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but they are some great things. There is NO excuse. A person can follow a simple recipe, or make their own up, and put the stuff in there, and you are golden. No excuse.

Yeah, Crock-Pot is a genericized brandname. Like Rollerblades, Kleenex, Sheetrock, and even Zipper.

meh, no arroz con pollo!!! I'm sick of that shit. being married to a costa rican, my wife (and her whole damn family) love to make arroz con pollo. and gallo pinto for breakfast! (pinto is this dry rice and beans combo served every damn day for breakfast) and to think that it qualifies as a top recipe.

A wet Italian Beef sandwich loaded with peppers sounds really good right now!
