Benefits of Slow Cooking
This book is a guide to prepare the various DASH Diet recipes using the Slow Cooking Method. This method involves using a Slow Cooker (also known as Crock Pot) which is an electrical countertop appliance that contains an outer metal part, an inner ceramic/ porcelain container and a glass lid. A low heat temperature is maintained consistently for a prolonged period of time to cook the food. This ensures that the food retains its nutrients, is cooked uniformly and also saves a lot of time for busy people as one doesn’t have to monitor the cooking process.
