Slow Cooker Recipe
It's a way of cooking the food in a relatively low temperature to decrease water quantity and get the best result. It's the countertop to electrical cooking, popularly known as crock-pot recipe.
Slow Cooker and Crock-pot recipes are interchangeable. A slow cooker is oval cooking pot made of ceramic or porcelain that comes in variety of sizes. Many crock-pot recipes simply call for the ingredients to be put in the crock and have almost no preparation. The crock-pot can then relatively safely be left to run unattended. This makes for a very convenient cooking method. Generally, minimum water should be maintained to avoid uncontrollable heating. Some slow cookers are supplied with recipe booklets.
The advantage of slow cooker recipes is it can avoid overcooking and useful to tenderized smaller cuts. It utilized rated power while the success of every crock-pot recipe relies on careful timing. However, the disadvantage is that the vitamins & nutrients are tending to be lost due to longer cooking. Below are slow cooked recipes you will enjoy from appetizer to dessert.

large oval Heavy i think ceramic Casserole Dish or Dutch Oven?
hi i found at curb side in a box a black oval very heavy medium sized pot with a Glass Lid but the lid handle on top is melted a bit and is plastic.I would like some ideas as to if this is a dutch oven or casserole dish i have never used either one before and need some help please.
yes it is really big and heavy and thick ceramic i dont think porcelaine definitely no iron in it at all so because the glass lid handle is melted i wasnt sure if i could use it in the oven for a dish and wonder why they got rid of it.I swear it must weigh at least 5 pounds.
no name on it either for the manufacturer its all black as well with a thin glass lid
From your description, it sounds like you found a crock pot for use in a slow cooker. You can't use this either on the stove or in the oven. You need it's matching slow cooker appliance.
