Great little book
I haven't been cooking for long. Don't own any pots and pans. However, I do have three slow cookers. Two of them (a 2 qt and a 7 qt) have been in use for just over a year. They are amazing. The 3.5 qt is just as great. Just because I own slow cookers doesn't mean I know how to use them to their fullest potential. This book covers quite a bit of information such as how full the cooker should be and why, why your recipe might turn out to liquidy and how to layer the ingredients and explains why to layer them in that order. It also includes some pretty good recipes for amazing meals. Home cooking in a slow cooker is also much more cost effective than eating out everyday. For a young adult starting out on his/her own this book paired with a 3 or 3.5 qt slow cooker would be a wonderful house warming gift. I highly recommend this book for someone with no experience preparing meals.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
