In the 21st century, most people who work simply do not have enough time to cook a decent and healthy meal when they come home from work. Either it has been a busy, stressful and mind numbing day at the office or workers are just too tired to prepare anything fresh.
Slow cookers aren’t just for grandmothers. In today’s busy lifestyle, the slow cooker can be a lifesaver when it comes to preparing good food, especially the moment when you open your front door from work and smell the glory of a sausage and bean casserole (which has been cooking for almost 6 hours). There are concerns over the slow cooker and its energy usage, specifically in older models. Fortunately in more recent advancements, slow cookers run at similar power levels to a typical light bulb of 60 watts an hour, making it truly a low cost alternative to cooking via traditional methods.
