- Good for Beginners
This is a good little book to keep on your shelf if you're just getting into crock-pot cooking. The book is divided into categories: recipes with beef, recipes with chicken, soups, recipes with pork, etc. The recipes are VERY easy and fast prep. which I really like.

However, with that being said, we tired of the recipes quickly. A lot of the recipes are repeated throughout the book: for example, several of the recipes use the same ingredients, you just replace the chicken with beef. ... Read More

- I so wanted to love this book...
I wanted to love this book because I needed it to be every bit as good as I imagined it to be. It's not. What is it? It's heavy on the salt, preservatives and other ingredients that abound in pre-packaged mixes and bottled sauces/dressings that you should avoid, anyway.

To my way of thinking, a slow cooker is for the preparation of healthy meals that you can toss together and find finished when you get home from work instead of using a feast of chemicals found in those boxes and bottles. ... Read More

- You might like some of it
I tried two recipes - one good (easy taco soup p.43) and one too horrid to eat (chicken teriyaki p.87). The teriyaki recipe calls for an ENTIRE BOTTLE of teriyaki sauce. The result was disgusting and nasty. Many of the recipes are retarded in their cooking requirements. For example, you need to add soem ingredients in the last hour of cook time in a five hour meal.

- Not full meals
Not imaginative, simplistic recipes for partial meals. I need full meals, not just slow cooked meat.

- 101 Things to do with a Slow Cooker
Very disappointed with cook book. Nothing exiciting or new. If you are a slow cooker user you came up with these recipes on your own and have been using them for years. Most call for simple and few ingredients which is the best part of the book.
