So, I had another amazing dinner at Czarina's last night. She made a Morrocan Leg of Lamb in her slow cooker. This isn't the first time she's slow-cooked for us. Each time, I considered getting a slow cooker for myself, but somehow just kept putting it off.
After last night's feast, I was at Target at 9 this morning, ready to buy. When buying kitchen appliances, I usually do a few days of research to make sure that I get the model that is right for me. But I was hasty today. Fortunately, I think I got the right model; I bought the the Hamilton Beach 6- quart programmable slow cooker.
I had no idea what I have been missing until I posted a comment on Facebook about getting the slow cooker. Friends wrote in to say they liked my post and to offer suggestions for dishes to cook. I asked for recipes and think that I will begin posting my results in the upcoming weeks.
Tonight I'm making a very simple pot roast that I found in the Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook. I'm afraid it might be too simple, but the idea of chopping veggies up and throwing the rest of the ingredients into my new slow cooker-literally setting and forgetting- is what this is all about. With one hour to go, I'm hoping it will be a great first dish.
Anyway, here's what my SC looks like. Is that too big for two people?
