I was asked, if you should own a Slow Cooker and my answer is: YES! Slow Cookers are not very common in Germany, I can’t understand it. It is a must for every working woman, part-time or not. I had two beef cheeks in the freezer and no idea what to serve for lunch. So I decided to make
Slow-cooked beef cheek ragú with pasta
Absolutely delicous! I loaded the Slow Cooker before I left for work and used a timer clock to switch on the kitchen gadget. The smell from the kitchen when I returned from work was stunning. For the meal I had only to cook the pasta and got a fast slow-cooked dish.

Ich stoße da auch immer auf Unverständnis. Dabei sind die Slowcooker so praktisch, auch wenn frau nicht arbeiten geht. Aber es gibt große Vorbehalte, ob das Gerät wirklich angeschaltet, aber unbeaufsichtigt betrieben werden kann; ob das hygienisch alles in Ordnung wäre; ob es wirklich nicht verkocht und ob das überhaupt schmecken kann. Ich beantworte alle vier Fragen mit ‘JA’ und werde am Wochenende mal wieder ein ‘auf Crockpot’ umgeschriebenes Rezept testen.
