Notorious for its soup- and stew-making abilities, the humble slow cooker is actually capable of much more than you might think. Like an extra pair of hands in the kitchen, these nifty pieces of kit take the hard work out of cooking by saving you not just time but money, using far less energy than an oven or a hob. They can also be used to create stocks, tenderise cheaper cuts of meat, and even whip up preserves, desserts and breads that essentially make themselves.
So dust off that slow cooker and discover its full potential with these six cookbooks.
