Milton Keynes, United Kingdom (PressExposure) July 18, 2010 -- Crock-pots like the 7 quart slow cooker are known for their practicality and electrical efficiency. In addition to these practical reasons, Diana Rodriguez believes slow cookers make meals that do not sacrifice nutrition. In her article Slow Cooker Recipes: Healthy Eating Made Easy reviewed by Medical Doctor and Master of Public Health Lindsey Marcellin, Rodriguez says that slow cookers “… improves the odds that you’ll eat healthier food.”

It is a common scenario how busy-bodied parents become too preoccupied with their daily routines that “... taking the time to prepare a healthy meal seems impossible,” Rodriguez stresses. Because a slow cooker cooks food at a low temperature over a long period of time, its prolonged cooking time is actually considered to be an advantage by the working class. They say that slow cooking allows them to go ahead with busy routines, while preparing the food for eating in their absence.

In praise of slow cookers, Judith Finlayson – a slow-cooking guru of Canada – even calls the appliance as “a wonderful cold weather tool.” But the Cerro Gordo County Department of Health believes “… winter is not the only time a slow cooker is useful,” saying that it can also be used even in summers as alternatives to oven cooking, since a slow cooker “… takes less electricity… rather than an oven.”

Rodriguez explains that slow cooking is a healthy option because primarily, it only cooks food in broth or in water. Thus, the “bad fat” or low-density lipoproteins as well as the triglycerides involved in cooking oil are avoided. Also, because the slow cooker operates under a low temperature during the cooking process, the nutrients found in the cooked meat and vegetables will remain intact and only seep out into the broth or water, therefore remain a part of the dish for consumption.
