Senior Cook
The house Buck and l lived in wasn't air-conditioned and here, in Kentucky, the summer temperatures can get to three digits. As an experiment one June, I cooked all our evening meals for that month in the crock-pot. It was a very interesting and educational exercise. I was amazed at the variety that was possible. Initially, I thought everything would take on some sort of sameness.
It was wonderful. Almost like being on a mini-vacation. For 30 days I practically didn't have to cook dinner.
I've also used it to bake cake and quick breads in it. It's one of the most convenient appliances we own.
Not really "one," because we have 4 different sizes and all are used on a regular basis.
I use the largest one to make applesauce when the apples are plentiful here in the fall. Yummy delicious stuff.
please share your applesauce recipe!
