Discover just how convenient and versatile your slow cooker can be with this concise, photo-packed collection of inventive and delicious recipes.

Air fryers and Instant Pots have their place, to be sure. But the slow cooker remains the most popular and oft-used countertop cooking appliance in the world—with good reason: It's the one that has dinner waiting for you at the end of a long and busy day. You did the prep work in the morning before you left, and there's nothing remaining for you to do but kick back and enjoy a fantastic meal.

For people who put their slow cooker away a few years ago to give the air fryer or Instant Pot a try, Slow Cooker will make you fall in love with your old friend all over again. For younger people who have enjoyed the many viral slow cooking reels on TikTok, this book serves up a full repertoire of reliable, kitchen-tested, and delectable recipes to enjoy. Those recipes include:

  • Carrot Soup with Honey and Nutmeg
  • Crock-Roasted Fresh Corn on the Cob
  • Three-Cheese Summer Squash Enchiladas
  • Lazy Days Braised Pot Roast
  • Thai Pork with Peanut Sauce
  • Lamb Shanks Braised with Garlic and Rosemary
  • Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya
  • Orange Hoisin Chicken
  • Pumpkin Spice Latte
  • Hot Fudge Spoon Cake

From a homey and comforting Maple Oat Granola with Dried Cranberries to start the day to a decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cake for an after-supper treat, Slow Cooker has the whole day covered, every day, for years to come.

Ideal for busy working families, The Time-Pressed Cook Series shows home cooks how they can cook faster and with less effort by using widely available kitchen appliances—without sacrificing flavour, and while still having the satisfaction of making a delicious home-cooked meal. The recipes are curated by a leading cookbook publisher with a reputation for best-in-class appliance cookbooks. Currently, there are four books in The Time-Pressed Cook Series:

  • Air Fryer
  • Bread Machine
