The 200 recipes in this family-friendly collection deliver a revolution in slow cooking like only America's Test Kitchen can!

Who doesn't like the idea of throwing ingredients into a slow cooker and coming back hours later to a finished meal? Too bad most slow cooker recipes deliver mediocre results you'd rather forget than fix again. A team of ten test cooks at America's Test Kitchen spent a year developing recipes, and what they discovered will change the way you use your slow cooker.

Did you know that onions garlic, and spices should be bloomed in the microwave for five minutes before they go into the slow cooker? This simple step intensifies their flavor and requires no extra work. Did you know that a little soy sauce mixed with tomato paste adds meaty flavors to almost any stew and can often replace the tedious step of browning the meat? And do you know the secret to a moist slow-cooker chicken? Start the bird upside down to protect the delicate white meat from drying out.

Great book with some caveats

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

I agree with many others that there are often numerous steps. However, the end results have generally been worth it. I've been cooking from this book for several years now and I reach for it again and again. My favorites:

1. Moroccan Beef Chili with Chickpeas - I make this at least once a month
2. Weeknight Meat Sauce - worth the price of the book
3. Easy Barbecued Ribs - very easy and good for weeknights
4. Sticky Wings - so good and I don't typically enjoy wings
5. Tuscan White Bean Soup - soaked beans overnight in fridge
6. Beef Goulash - easy and very good
7. Braised Brisket and Onions - quick prep and a good end result
8. Chicken in a Pot - my husband said this was the best thing I've ever made. Delicious and very juicy
9. Sloppy Joes - a big favorite of my husband
10. Mashed potatoes - very good and has been helpful at the holidays. Opens up a burner and keeps them warm as the meal comes together.
11. Irish Oatmeal - so the cooking time is ridiculous. We actually eat the oatmeal as part of "breakfast for dinner" on weekend nights. It's inconvenient but very, very good. And it seems like less bother to me because it isn't boiling over every 5 minutes.

Recipes that didn't work:
1. 15-Bean Soup - it never quite came together although I tried it a few times
2. Chicken Curry in a Hurry - just ok, nothing special
3. Beef Stroganoff was good but the listed cooking time is off and I burned it
4. Big-Batch Bolognese Sauce - bland and makes about 4 pounds of food. This was the biggest disappointment simply because of the sheer amount of meat that I felt like I wasted.

For some background, I prefer to cook with fresh ingredients. I have a well-stocked pantry and enjoy cuisine from all over the world. The "unusual" ingredients in many of the recipes are something I enjoy and consider a positive. I also have figured out what I can simplify in the recipes I cook frequently. I will microwave ingredients rather than cooking on the stove to save time. I skip the panade (bread mixed into meat) to save the bother or need for bread and I haven't noticed a difference. I also have a cooker with a timer which switches over to warm. This has helped me use the book while I'm at work or away longer than the specified cooking time. I also appreciate other aspects of slow cooking in addition to convenience such as keeping the kitchen cool in the summer or freeing up space while making a large meal. I also appreciate the added moisture and stable cooking temperature as I live at high altitude.

I find most recipes to make a huge amount of food so I often cut recipes in half. Every cooker is different but mine runs hot. I cook at the minimum of the time range listed.

If you need a slow cooker, this is the cookbook to buy

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I love America's Test Kitchen and own many of their cookbooks, but I held off on ordering this one for a long time. I read all the reviews about how many steps were involved, about how the end result was no better (and often worse) than the result you would get on the stovetop or in the oven, and I convinced myself there was no need to have a slow cooker cookbook. Then the hot weather hit, and I started to think of the long hot months when I would do anything to avoid using the oven. For six months out of the year, I cannot use the oven without making the house too hot, but I can run a slow cooker all year long. On the hottest days of the year the slow cooker can even be placed in the garage or on the back patio if needed. And during the winter, I'm out of the house for kids' activities a lot, and it's often a choice between slow cooker supper or fast food. So yes, I needed a slow cooker cookbook, and I'm glad I bought this one.

The reviewers are correct that many of the recipes require extra steps. ATK is not a dump and forget kind of company, and for good reason: the results are better this way. So far I have been satisfied with the recipes I've tried. After only a month, we already have a few that we will be falling back on often. The weekday meat sauce was not the best spaghetti sauce I'd ever tried, but it was still really good. It made enough sauce to feed my family of five for four meals, and everyone enjoyed it. Chicken Divan is another that everyone enjoyed, and the Thai Chicken Soup was amazing. I have made the version of this soup from the ATK Best Soups and Stews book before, and honestly I couldn't really taste a difference between the two except that this one took a couple hours longer to make.

There are a few issues with this book:
* The breakfast section is useless. All of the recipes take 4-6 hours to prepare. Unless you're having an 11 o'clock brunch or having breakfast for supper, you're not going to be able to enjoy these recipes. Which is a shame, because they look yummy.
* I have the model of slow cooker they recommend, but I still find the cooking times to be a bit off. I need to start checking 4-6 hour dishes at 3 hours.
* I'm not always a fan of the extra ingredients they add to boost flavor. The number of onions they use can get excessive, honestly. I like onion flavor, but there is a limit to how many chopped onions I want in a bite of food. I have started reducing the onions to what I would put in a stove top/oven version of the same recipe, and I have been happy with that. Also, the Chicken and Dumplings tasted fine, but the tomato paste gave the stew a reddish color that was hard for me to get over. It just didn't *look* like chicken and dumplings.

But those are mostly minor issues. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

Slow Cooker Revolution revolutionized my slow cooker!

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am an ardent fan of America's Test Kitchen and also subscribe to their two magazines, "Cook's Illustrated" and Cook's Country". I use my slow cooker A LOT as I work full time. Throwing ingredients in it and forgetting it has been a real time-saver for me. I resisted ordering this cookbook because some of the reviews complained about "overly complicated recipes", "too much prep time", etc. But neither did I want a cookbook that called for a can of condensed soup and some meat thrown into a slow cooker. I confess that I checked this cookbook out from the library before I ordered it so I could review the recipes before I bought it. Yes, there is some prep time involved in almost all of the recipes, BUT - there is a reason behind that. The recipes have been thoroughly deconstructed and re-written so that the home cook will have great taste/results EVERY time, if you follow the recipes. I don't mind putting in a little extra time and effort if the end results are worth it. I am very pleased with this cookbook and glad I ordered it.

There are some good recipes in here

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

There are some good recipes in here. Some of the recipes do require some prep work (browning meat, spices, etc on a pan) which is a little more labour intensive than simply chopping and putting everything in the slow cooker, but these steps are to compensate for the fact that slow cookers generally kill flavour and ensures that whatever comes out of the slow cooker actually tastes good.

Perhaps better for the American market?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

It's essential to bear in mind that this book is published for the American market so the cuts of meat tend to be different & some ingredients aren't easy to source here. Likewise, some of the dishes are not really of much use - although in fairness that is bound to be the case with any recipe book. I tried the Goulash first, & found it pretty dull, but the beef Burgundy had plenty of flavour. So far, however, I've found as many reclines on the Internet (& particularly Mumsnet, at first) to be just as useful. For me, this book is no more than OK. Hope others are happier with it.

The Slow Cooker bible (for Americans)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

I LOVE this cook book, though it should be noted I am American and therefore appreciate the American measurements described in this book. Recipes are tasty, easy, clearly described and easy to half for 2-3 people. Half a dozen of these recipes have become my go-to weeknight dinners. Also gives chopping advice. My slow cooker bible!

Best Slow Cooker Recipes

I have tried many of the recipes in this book and I highly recommend it. I have given it as a gift to family members and I am an avid slow cooker user but often found the recipes did not turn out very well. America's Test Kitchen has solved this problem and I love the book.
