Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Black bean and smoked turkey soup

    • jenburkholder on October 30, 2021

      Very tasty soup. I've subbed other smoked turkey parts in. Keeps well, lovely to swirl in sour cream at the end.

  • Chinese country ribs

    • IowanCorn on October 15, 2022

      I have made this twice now, and I think it may become my go to for slow cooker ribs. Definitely use the Chinese five spice with this recipe, it helps to make the flavor pop. I tend to skip the rice, as it's just a 'serve this with hot rice' thing, and we tend to eat ribs with fried potatoes.

  • Indonesian veal stew with coconut and peanuts

    • Shelmar on September 03, 2019

      Very good.

  • Sauerkraut and sausage casserole Alsace

    • ccav on March 10, 2019

      Very good. Possibly add paprika or curry ketchup on side

    • ccav on January 17, 2021

      Use Eden sauerkraut

  • The pot roast

    • IowanCorn on September 24, 2022

      A good basic pot roast recipe, which made ample amounts of food! The roast was tender, and the vegetables cooked nicely without too mushy.

  • The good woman's chicken pot roast

    • IowanCorn on February 01, 2024

      Not the best recipe in this book, but edible. The chicken got done before the potatoes, and I called it for dinner, since I didn't want dried out chicken. The potatoes and carrots were more 'el dente" - edible but not fully cooked to the way I would like. I used grains of paradise instead of pepper, and the combo of that with the tarragon and thyme worked really nicely. I think if the chicken was cut up with the veg, it would work better.

  • Soy-spice simmered chicken

    • IowanCorn on November 05, 2022

      Very tasty. I used chicken legs only and cooking it to 5 or 6 hours ended up overcooking the meat to the point of the meat falling off the bone. Still, it wasn't dried out, and simmering in the soy sauce mixture kept them moist. I was afraid that much soy sauce would make it too salty, but it was perfect - slightly salty but not over salty. I would highly recommend this recipe, especially using the legs if you had a potluck attended.

Remember the slow-cooker? It's time to take it out of the garage and throw away those old, unworkable recipes. The Slow-Cooker Ready & Waiting Cookbook features 160 updated classics and delicious new recipes designed specifically for slow-cookers.

Because they benefit from a long, slow simmer at a gentle, continuous temperature, certain dishes-soups, stews, chilis, and pot roasts-have always tasted better when prepared in a slow-cooker. Rick Rodgers has gone beyond the tried and true and has developed an impressive array of foods that are better slow-cooked than when prepared in a conventional oven: Tuscan Beans with Sage and Garlic, Beef Stroganoff, and delectable desserts like Double Strawberry Cheesecake and the creamiest Creme Caramel. There are also side dishes, relishes, and vegetables that use the slow-cooker when the oven is occupied. Recipes for seafood chowders, chicken fricassees, braised brisket, corned beef, and stuffed breast of veal round out this collection.
