Although I see the much needed usefulness of these cookers, I have never gotten into them. Because most of my life has been spent in a kitchen, I have done all my slow cooking on the stove top. This is how I imagine all the cooks in Italy would do, but I do think a slow cooker would work well for all the sauces like pizza and the puttanesca recipe.


The slow cookers and Crock Pot were refined and improved during the 1060’s and 1970’s. They quickly became so popular with the busy cooks in the American homes; not many kitchens were without a Crock Pot.
