PREP, SET & FORGET
EASY WEEKNIGHTS • Whether you’re rushing out the door for work or to run an afternoon of errands, these 24 recipes are timed so you can quickly prep and then set the cooker while you go about your day. Chicken casserole, chicken wings, beef short ribs, lasagna, pork sausage ragu, pepperoni pizza, leg of lamb, lamb curry, and six meatless recipes like tacos and a frittata—plus four instant sides that are sure to please—make the possibilities endless.
ENTERTAINING FRIENDS • Wow your guests with these 15 show-stopping recipes that you can quickly prep and let cook while you spend time with friends and family instead of in the kitchen! From roast chicken or chicken confit for a comfort food feast to Korean Pork Wraps or Cuban sandwiches alongside a game night to Lamb Makloubeh (layered with eggplant and rice) or Salt Trout with Herbed Potatoes to impress, we’ve got you covered. We also included four sides—three greens and a bread.
BATCH COOKING • Here are 14 great recipes to make ahead and stock the freezer. When frozen properly, slow-cooked meals will keep for up to three months. Transfer the meat and vegetables to appropriate-size, freezer-friendly containers, then pour in enough of the liquid to cover. Leave a 1-inch gap between the food and the lid to allow for expansion, then seal the containers. Label and date the containers before placing in the freezer.
SOMETHING SWEET • Puddings, custards, and even yeasted doughs can all be done in the slow cooker with great success. Serve these 10 decadent recipes—from Salted Caramel Cookie Bars to Tres Leches Bread Pudding—with cream, custard, or ice cream for a low-fuss dessert. We even included four recipes for quick toppers that can be added to any dessert of your choice!
METRIC CHARTS • The recipes that appear in this cookbook use the standard U.S. method for measuring liquid and dry or solid ingredients (teaspoons, tablespoons, and cups). The information on these pages is provided to help cooks outside the United States successfully use these recipes. All equivalents are approximate.
