Slow Cooking Guide for Beginners

We live in a fast paced world. We want everything easy and quick especially in preparing delicious meals for our family. But sometimes going slow can be quite advantageous. Slow cooking is a cooking method that utilizes low heat for an extended period of time. The food prepared using this method will become oh-so-tender and more flavourful. In the past slow cooking involves putting a pot in the stove over a low fire for several hours. Unfortunately this leaves room for the homemaker to do anything else since the flame needs constant supervision. If not the pot may over boil dry out and cause a fire if left on for too long even on low. Fortunately this won't be an issue anymore since the slow cooker has already been invented.
