Slow Cooker Revolution: One Test Kitchen. 30 Slow Cookers. 200 Amazing Recipes.

This collection contains 200 family-friendly slow cooker recipes developed by America's Test Kitchen. A team of ten test cooks spent a year creating and refining these recipes to address common problems with slow cooking. The book shares specific techniques discovered during development. Blooming onions, garlic, and spices in the microwave for five minutes before adding them to the slow cooker intensifies their flavor without requiring extra work. Combining soy sauce with tomato paste adds meaty flavors to stews and can often eliminate the need to brown meat separately. For moist slow-cooker chicken, starting the bird upside down protects the delicate white meat from drying out.
