In a little more than 35 years, slow cookers have evolved from theappliance equivalent of the Ice Age to the Space Age.
The first Crock-Pot was brown and basic, no frills. Today they aredigital, programmable or "smart" and can be clad in stainless steelor brushed chrome, for instance. Several manufacturers have gottenin the act as well. Rival rolled out the Crock-Pot in the early 1970s after buying asmaller company that made an electric ceramic bean cooker calledThe Beanery. The first advertising jingle was "It cooks all daywhile the cook's away."
Slow cookers have been a good friend over the years to those whowere time-pressed or trying to eat more economically, since theyaccommodate tougher cuts of meat. They survived being a short-livedfad to claim permanent shelf space in many American kitchens.
Better yet, the number of slow cooker recipes continues to grow andthe ingredients are getting more creative.
A West Ashley senior citizen has a renewed interest in this type ofcooking because she can portion out meals and freeze them for lateruse. She asked for recipes to expand her repertoire, and severalpeople stepped up to share.
Peggy E. Rozelle of Mount Pleasant can relate. She writes, "When my husband wasfinishing post-graduate work and working full time, and I was ingraduate school and being Mom to our young children, I, too, turnedto the Crock-Pot for help with my budget and family nutrition. Hereare some of my recipes at that time copied from The Marietta (Ga.)Daily Journal."
