4.Convenient features let you time things perfectly.
One of the drawbacks of crockpot cooking used to be overcooking. Let that meat simmer too long, and you ended up with unpalatable mush. Today's crock pots feature timers that turn the crock pot off when it's time, or lower the temperature when needed.

5.Slow cookers are energy efficient.
What? You thought that leaving your slow cooker plugged in and cooking all day was a waste of energy? Think again. A crock pot uses wraparound heat to cook the food, without wasting all the heat that would simmer away in an oven or stove top. You actually use less energy.

If you have a slow cooker tucked away somewhere, pull it out and give it a try. You'll find dozens of recipes that break the traditional "mushy" meals syndrome that has given crock pots a bad name. Test a few, and you'll find yourself upgrading to a new family friendly model so you can treat your family to wonderful, tasty, home cooked meals with almost no effort.
