Crock pots have been used for decades as a simple way to make great meals. Most crock pot recipes allow you to throw the ingredients in with little to no preparation, go to work and come home to a perfectly cooked meal. You can cook whole roasts and chickens without losing all of the juice and flavor. The crock pot is virtually fool proof because there are only three settings: High, Low and Off. The low setting allows food to be cooked all day and is perfect for a meal that is 6-8 hours away. The high setting cooks the food in half the time of low and is good for a meal that needs to be ready within 2-4 hours. The beauty of a crock pot is that even if you can't get to your meal as soon as it's done there is little need to worry about it burning because the crock pot will automatically turn off once the cooking time is up but still keep your food warm.
Many people associate cock pots with cooking roasts, stews and other liquid based meals but there are thousands of recipes for the crock pot that include breakfast and dessert. For instance, there are breakfast casserole recipes that consist of eggs, cheese, sausage and bread which are layered with the bread on the bottom and cooked for 8 hours on low. This meal can be started before you go to bed and in the morning you have a delicious and effortless breakfast waiting. Dessert is a snap as well when you follow an easy recipe like the one for an apple caramel dessert which consists of apples, caramel candies, peanut butter an cinnamon all mixed together and cooked for 6 hours on low.
These delicious recipes, along with thousands more, can be found all over the internet and many come with a crock pot when you buy it. You can feel free to experiment with different recipes without having to worry about constantly watching your food. Crock pot recipes make home cooked meals easy and tasty, and they virtually cook themselves.
