Why slow-cooking? Organize Your Week Without Haste
The first advantage that we find to the slow-cooking pots is the possibility of cooking well in advance and forgetting what is being cooked. Just as in order to prepare food, we usually need the availability of watching the fire and be aware of the steps that must be taken for each recipe, with this system, we can disengage and even leave the house or go to sleep, letting the pot work.
It is perfect for people with tight schedules, who do not enjoy free minutes before lunch or dinner. You can organize your meal all week beforehand. Each night, you just have to leave the pot with the ingredients and program it. When you get up, you’ll have everything made to take it in a topper to work or to enjoy it at home at lunchtime. It will be freshly made, without you having to cook at the last moment.
