National Slow Cooking Month – January 2023 – Chances are there is a slow cooker in your house. Many might wonder, “what is so great about a slow cooker?” Besides easier cleanup and more free time on your hands, the slow cooker played a major part in changing the family dynamic in the late twentieth century by letting women go back to work, and still have a homemade meal ready.
