Easy cooking?

Dear Anandchitra,

Sorry, what actually u mean u take 20 mins to prepare? U cook dhal only or together with vegetables and it will be ready to eat in the evening. Just want to confirm so that I can make use my slow cooker which I only use making soup once in a while. I am glad to hear that it can be used for Indian cooking. Hope to learn more on this.

 

Re: Slow Cooker

Hi,
A slow cooker is just what it means, literally. It is a device which is electric and has a ceramic insert for the dish into which the ingredients are added. It has a clear glass lid. There are 2-3 settings (depending on the model).
The low or slow cook setting, cooks foods at very low temperatures. It is great for cooking chick peas, rajma and lentils. It is great for making soups. Just open cans of beans and put in, add a can of tomato soup, throw in some frozen vegetables, add water, salt and some seasonings..wallah!!! Turn it on in the morning and by late afternoon, (again depending on the model, the timings may vary) the food will be ready!!!! My model also has a medium setting and then a High setting which cooks food at fast temperatures.

If the pressure cooker is out of commission, this can cook dals but it takes a whole lot of time.

Hope this helps,

Thyla
