The 200 recipes in this family-friendly collection deliver a revolution in slow cooking like only America's Test Kitchen can! Who doesn't like the idea of throwing ingredients into a slow cooker and coming back hours later to a finished meal? Too bad most slow cooker recipes deliver mediocre results you'd rather forget than fix again. A team of ten test cooks at America's Test Kitchen spent a year developing recipes, and what they discovered will change the way you use your slow cooker. Did you know that onions garlic, and spices should be bloomed in the microwave for five minutes before they go into the slow cooker? This simple step intensifies their flavor and requires no extra work. Did you know that a little soy sauce mixed with tomato paste adds meaty flavors to almost any stew and can often replace the tedious step of browning the meat? And do you know the secret to a moist slow-cooker chicken? Start the bird upside down to protect the delicate white meat from drying out.

Healthy meals made the slow cooker way America's Test Kitchen had a simple goal: Create quick and easy foolproof slow cooker recipes that taste as good as meals prepared on the stovetop or in the oven. They had one more stipulation: They wanted their selections to be healthy, not the fat-heavy main courses featured in many slow cooker cookbooks. It took nearly a year of testing, 1,500 recipes, and $20,000 spent on groceries to find the finalists: 200 new, easy-to-make slow cooker recipes. True to its trusted source, the winning recipes collected here include delicious weekday and holiday meals; snacks, sides, and desserts.

Volume 2 brings more slow cooker recipes for your family to enjoy. The test cooks at America's Test Kitchen have worked their magic again, developing and perfecting an all-new collection of 200 slow-cooker recipes. With this volume, we looked at this must-have appliance in new ways to truly maximize its potential. You'll learn how to make a host of dishes like Garlicky Shrimp, Chicken Soft Tacos, and Flourless Chocolate Cake--recipes you'd never expect to see coming out of a slow cooker. The moist heat of the slow cooker is tailor-made to serve up flavorful stews, chilis, and braises (and don't worry--we've included a good number of these), but with our smart strategies and clever ingredient selections, we were also able to pull off spice-rubbed roast chicken, ziti with meaty ragu, rare roast beef, poached salmon and even cheesecake.

Revolutionize the beloved dinner staple with this pasta cookbook featuring 200-plus America’s Test Kitchen-approved recipes—from simple one-pot meals to healthy family dinners Featuring fresh takes on the classics, Pasta Revolution includes recipes for easier casseroles, one-pot pasta dinners (in which the pasta cooks right in the sauce), inventive six-ingredient pasta dishes, and new whole-wheat pasta recipes that your whole family will love. Plus, all the old country favorites, too—all tested and perfected by the cooks at America’s Test Kitchen. No-Prep Baked Spaghetti is the easiest casserole you'll ever make—simply combine uncooked spaghetti, ground beef, and canned tomatoes in a baking dish and pop it in the oven. For our Super-Easy Spinach Lasagna, we ditched fussy layering and relied on a flavorful no-cook sauce to bring this dish to the weeknight table. Our six-ingredient recipes call on pantry staples to do double duty in dishes such as Mediterranean Penne with Tuna and Nicoise Olives. Whole-wheat pasta is anything but boring in recipes like Penne with Chicken, Caramelized Onions, and Red Peppers. You’ll also find lighter options, recipes that have less than 600 calories and 12 grams of fat. Plus, we scaled down recipes to serve just two, and we scaled up a number of dishes for company-worthy fare. Enticing Asian noodle dishes round out the collection. We include essential cooking tips, cookware reviews, and ingredient ratings throughout.

The ultimate in slow-cooker books--with 500 recipes, each adapted for three sizes of appliance.

Millions of people are turning to slow cookers for their weeknight meals yet often can't find recipes that match their exact machine.

Each recipe is labeled for its level of difficulty and nutritional value, and they cover every kind of dish imaginable: delicious breakfast oatmeals, slow-braised meats, succulent vegetables, sweet jams and savory sauces, decadent desserts. This is the slow cooker book to end them all.
