I’ve had this cookbook in my collection for a while. There are so many good, easy recipes in here! It’s one recipe book I’ve turned to many a time with delicious results. Check it out!

This is a perfect cookbook for those wanting to begin doing slow cooker cooking. The beef stew recipe on page 71 is a favorite especially during the winter months here in Minnesota. I've got two teens who have different tastes, the tater tot casserole on 116 is easy and agreeable for everyone. Having used my first slow cooker for 20 years it finally wore out and the purchase of the Hamilton Beach Programmable Slow Cooker makes this type of cooking a breeze.

There are many things that annoy me about this cookbook. The most annoying thing is that the author/editor includes several recipes for the same thing but with (sometime very) slight alterations. I mean honestly, do you really want to figure out which of 5 beef stew recipes is the one for you when the ingredient lists look fairly similar? I found maybe 3 or 4 recipe that look useful to me. I hate that there are no pictures- I like to see if what I'm cooking is looking at all like it should. Also- if the picture looks good, then I'm more tempted to try the recipe. I'm glad I checked this out at the library and didn't buy it. I certainly won't be buying it!

This is easily our favorite crock pot cook book at my house. Many of the recipes have very simple preparation which can be performed in a modicum of time even by the most unskilled kitchen dullards like myself :)

Unlike many crock pot cookbooks we've seen where bland food seems to be the norm, a number of recipes from this one are in fact quite flavorful and tasty. We just made the 'Irish Beef Stew' (Not sure REALLY how Irish it is, but it's yummy :).

Can't recommend this book highly enough for people who want to do more cooking at home but are short on time and/or kitchen skills.

I enjoy using the recipes for a guide of how long to cook what I want to cook and for ideas. I find the recipes are more northern cooking than southern style.

A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.

Blech! Someone may find these helpful, but the recipes tend to be 5 cans or frozen bags of "something" that are dumped into a crockpot or instapot and called a meal. Disappointing to say the least.

One of my favorite cookbooks that I use regularly! Loaded with lots of great recipes to try.

cant cook because children forgot to turn off cooker and he forgot it so now can't fix I now eat book thank you guys for everything you have changed my live thank you all!!!!!!!! didjdndjforoiefnkeoeijfnsj3rifjf

This was a random find at a garage-like sale.

Just a dollar, which is good, because for some reason my partner and I didn't think to look at the ingredients in the recipes. There's a lot of questionable suggestions, at least for my dietary requirements (medically needed.)

Not a cookbook for anyone with MCAS/MCAD/MCS - at least, not if you want to follow the recipe exactly.

That being said, there are a ton of good ideas in here, with a bunch of substitution work, and it opened my eyes to the sheer array of things one can apparently do with a slow cooker.

I had high hopes for this book, but many of the recipes seem to be right out of 1970. Too many canned junk ingredients. Many recipes repeated with only slight variations. The soup section seems the strongest.
