GIVEAWAY: Slow Cooker Revolution

Since becoming moms both Jaime and I have become crock-pot enthusiasts. We've both found some amazing recipes, but you do have to sift through the tuna casseroles and cream of mushroom chickens (not that there's anything wrong with that) to find the treasures. So imagine our jump-for-joy, sing-from-the-mountain-top, dance-in-the-rain euphoria when Slow Cooker Revolution from the Editors at America's Test Kitchen arrived on our doorstep. CROCK-POT + ATK = YES PLEASE. And is that lasagna on the cover? Wait, what? Lasagna in the slow cooker? Tell us more. So you're thinking... good for you, you have a new cookbook, but what's in it for me? Well not only are the folks at ATK culinary geniuses but they also super nice and so we have a copy of Slow Cooker Revolution to give away to a lucky reader. Find out more...

Leave your comment anytime between now and midnight next Tuesday, March 22nd. We will randomly select a winner (with a US address, No P.O. Boxes) and announce next week.

Tell us what you like to make in the slow cooker. For additional entries every day, Stumble, Tweet and Facebook "Like" this giveaway. Leave an extra comment for each.

And in case you are wondering, I rock the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go and Jaime has "Some crap one with two settings 'really hot' and 'really f*ing hot'" Ha, nice. Now I know what to get Jaime for Mother's Day.

HarmlessColor said...: I have always like the crock pot idea, but I am only inspired by cookbooks with pictures. (Ha! Now you know my weakness!)I haven't come across any crock pot cookbooks with pictures before, and most have had crazy organization which is not easy to sift through.

Jocelyn said...: We also make pulled pork in the crockpot, and usually make sandwhiches out of it but recently I added taco seasoning and made it taste like barbacoa and made tacos. It was really great! I would love this cookbook, because 1. I love ATK and 2. because I would like to the crock pot more but never know where to find a good recipe. This would solve my problem for sure!; March 15, 2011 at 11:12 AM

Tristin said...: To tell you the truth, I mostly use the crockpot to keep things warm, like cider or chili. Only on rare occasions do I make an actual dinner in the crockpot 'cause so much of it turns into just mushy stuff. And I seriously dislike any recipe that has "cream of this or that" soup. Sorry to sound so snobby... but I would DEF buy an ATK crockpot cookbook because they always do things the "right" way! I believe ATK could make a crockpot convert of me...

Oh, but I DO make corned beef on St. Patty's Day every year... and I use the crockpot to get it nice and tender! So, yeah... I use it.; March 15, 2011 at 11:31 AM

Kekibird said...: I love slow cookers for chicken dishes. Because chicken is that one meat product that can be so sensitive to the time it's out and when it's cooked, I like leaving it in the slow cooker for tacos or burritos later.

Nichole said...: My go-to with the crock pot is beef pot roast. I recently discovered a better way to make it (Worcestershire sauce and beef stock in place of water and instead of regular onion soup, beefy onion soup mix) -- oh, and locally grown beef butchered at our local "locker". Best I've ever made! Thanks for a great giveaway. I'd love to have some more crock recipes! You guys are the best!; March 15, 2011 at 2:19 PM

Missy said...: OMG, what DON'T I like to make in my slow cooker...I have an addiction to that thing. It makes me look like such a rockstar when I have this awesome dinner made and the house smells divine and all I had to do was throw a bunch of ingredients into a pot in the morning and turn it on!

My faves are beef stew, lasagna (you don't even have to cook the noodles first!), chicken cacciatore. Yummm!!!!! I hope I win!; March 15, 2011 at 3:50 PM

EG said...: Revolution!

This is barely a recipe but I put chicken (frozen is fine), a can of black beans, and a jar of salsa. At the end add some corn. A friend of mine adds a block of cream cheese but I save the calories.; March 15, 2011 at 4:21 PM
indywriter said...: Chicken and noodles either as soup or thicker and perfect with mashed potatoes.

But I do love a good beef stew.

And I have made apple butter in mine too.*

*FYI: A little cloves go a looooong way. A lot of cloves ruin your apple butter.; March 15, 2011 at 4:27 PM

Melissa said...: I use my crock for chili, but not much else. I've got cookbooks for it but you're right it's so much work finding something that I want to make for my picky bunch. And I got my crock after baby #2, wasn't sure when I'd ever be able to make a stove-top meal again, luckily I got the hang of it in no time! Thanks ladies!; March 15, 2011 at 5:46 PM
