Rating:  Summary: Easy yet full of flavour Review: I bought several books on slow electric cooking for my daughter- this was by far the best, full of simple and quick recipes withinteresting yet readily available ingredients, and wonderful flavours. I liked it so much I am buying myself a copy. A pity it's not in hardback - I plan to suggest my library should order some too and hardbacks stand up to library use much better than paperbacks.
Rating:  Summary: Love my Crockpot, this book helps me use it! Review: I love my crockpot. I use it all the time. It is so easy to have a complete meal on the table. Cheaper cuts of meat come out tasting great, no hot ovens and stove tops for little fingers to get burned on, easy to use, and good results. This book is a great resource for Crockpot cooking. The recipes turn out great. Almost everything is easy to make and there are not any unusual or exotic ingredients called for in the meals. There are a few good crockpot recipe books available that are still in print. This is one that I am glad I have on my shelves.
Rating:  Summary: Recipes Did Not Sell Me Review: I was not happy with this book. The recipes they provided were not recipes you would use on an everyday basis. In my mind, I was looking for rib, roast, and chile recipes. I found myself just thumbing through the book with no desire to cook anything in there. I believe there are better books out there. Save your money.

Rating:  Summary: Picky eater Review: I'm sure this book may be helpful for some people, but I was looking for more simple recipes for a very picky eater. Things that had more pasta, ground meat, etc. There are things in some of these recipes that I don't even know what they are or where to get them,and I'm sure my son wouldn't eat. Also some of the prep time was quite long, I want things I can put in there and forget it. If I spend 45 minutes preparing a meal, I shouldn't have to wait 2 or more hours on the slow cooker to finish it.
Rating:  Summary: Worth the time and investment. Review: If you have children and live overseas the Crockery Cooker will help you save time, money, and energy while feeding you children and family good wholesome meals. The food items are easy to locate and the meals are delicious. They are also easily converted to lowfat/low sodium. It only takes 30 to 45 minutes preptime the night before or morning of and you can come home to dinner, no waiting, no whining "Mom, I'm hungry. When's dinner." I thoroughly enjoyed it including the breads and cakes.
Rating:  Summary: It was OK Review: When I ordered this cookbook I was not expecting what I recieved. I wanted a book that had meals that used mostly what I had on hand. I wanted guidance on how to cook in a crock pot basic meals. I have made a few recipes in this book and they were ok, nothing outstanding. Most of the recipes I would not make. Hope this is helpful.
