What is the point of a slow cooker?

As a result of the long, low-temperature cooking, slow cookers help tenderize less-expensive cuts of meat. A slow cooker brings out the flavor in foods. A wide variety of foods can be cooked in a slow cooker, including one-pot meals, soups, stews, and casseroles. A slow cooker uses less electricity than an oven.

Benefits of a slow cooker

Ingredients:

• 1 large beef shank
• 3 or more beef stock bones, (for collagen )

Method:

1. Bring 2 to 3 liters of water to a boil.
2. In a small pan, brown the beef shank and the stock bones with some onion.
3. Now add all ingredients, except the can of beans, to the slow cooker.
4. Add the shank and bones, then the boiling water to fill the cooker saving a little to loosen up the drippings in the pan which can be added to the cooker.
5. Add the salt and pepper, cover, and cook for a minimum of 12 hours.
6. Add the can of beans for 15 to 20 minutes before turning the cooker off.
7. I used Wally’s homemade beef stock, tomato sauce, and seasoned tomato powder in lieu of the store-bought products.
8. This recipe can be adapted to be made in a 5 quart/liter pot on the stovetop, and the cooking time can be reduced to 4 hours.
