Slow cooker

A slow cooker is like a magic pot that cooks your food slowly and deliciously over a few hours.

Okay, let’s imagine you’re making a stew. You chop up some vegetables, some meat, put in some spices and water, and you want it to cook slowly, so it becomes all juicy and tender.

But, you’re a busy 5-year-old, and your mom has to go to work. She doesn't want to leave the stove on for hours, so she uses a slow cooker instead.

Your mom puts all the ingredients into the slow cooker pot, and sets the temperature to low or high, depending on how long it needs to cook. Then, she puts the lid on and plugs it in.

The slow cooker uses low heat and steam to cook the food slowly and keep it juicy. Over a few hours, the food gets all cooked through, and it’s ready to eat!

The best part is that you can leave it cooking while you’re at school, or overnight, and it won't burn or overcook.

When the timer goes off, you can serve up your juicy, delicious meal. And, because the slow cooker has been sealed, all the flavors and juices stay inside the pot, so it's super flavorful.

That's it! A slow cooker makes cooking super easy, and you get a flavorsome meal when you're ready to eat.
