Cook Book: Slow Cooker Revolution
Slow cooker recipe book from America's Test Kitchen
Did you know that onions garlic, and spices should be bloomed in the microwave for five minutes before they go into the slow cooker? This simple step intensifies their flavor and requires no extra work.
Did you know that a little soy sauce mixed with tomato paste adds meaty flavors to almost any stew and can often replace the tedious step of browning the meat? And do you know the secret to a moist slow-cooker chicken? Start the bird upside down to protect the delicate white meat from drying out.
The team of test cooks at America’s Test Kitchen spent a year developing these recipes, and what they reveal in this slow cooker recipe book will change the way you use your crock pot.

I love the way this book looks, the pictures are typically ATK perfection. You are right it does change the way you look at your slow cooker ingredients but it removes the idea of ‘fix it and forget it’. I find myself worrying because there is too much precooking work and mid way work and the expectation is that all of the recipes should be cooked on low but I don’t have time when you add in the time to prework/cook and finishing/cook time.
I love the book but within 2 weeks returned to my other crockpot books and this one has become more of a picture book now.
