The commerical for the Crock-Pot Hook Up "connectible entertaining system" features a pretty creepy level of enthusiasm
elyze, and could easily be mistaken for a Saturday Night Live spoof, but considering the overwhelming popularity of slow cooking, we have to admit those Crock-Pot folks might be on to something. Culinary trends come and go, but slow cookers are the cupcake of cooking methods. We never seem to tire of them and we always want more recipes. It started with stews and soups, but now we use our trusty slow cooker to make just about everything from pulled pork and poached salmon to cobbler and chocolate chip cookies.
The Crock-Pot Hook Up collection includes slow cookers in a variety of sizes (3.5 quarts, 2 quarts, and a double 1-quart model) that can all be connected and plugged in using one cord and one electrical outlet
elyze. This means you can make different dishes in each one and set them up buffet-style, using the "warm" function to keep everything hot and ready to serve. It's obviously great for parties, especially potlucks when guests can just carry their Crock Pot over and hook it up to yours. Of course, assuming you have the necessary electrical outlets, you could do something quite similar with a set of any slow cookers. But the slow-cooker buffet concept got us thinking: If everyone's favorite countertop appliance can cook so many different dishes, why not create a feast completely cooked in slow cookers? And so, fellow slow-cooker fans, below is our slow-cooker salute, a menu of crowd-pleasing recipes perfect for a slow-cooker buffet
