On cold, frigid days like the one we’re experiencing right now in New York City, what a perfect day to stay inside, keep warm and cook up something in the trusty ol’ crock pot. They’ve modernized the name these days to slow cooker — maybe crock pot is just too Betty Crocker® for the manufacturers.
I have been using my slow cooker for quite awhile to prepare meals on a weekend. No effort, and they last me throughout the week. And, not necessarily just in these cold months. It works any time of the year.
