The One-Person Slow Cooker

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Tired of slow cooker recipes that make six servings when you are one person? Every recipe here is scaled to a small 2-quart cooker - one generous portion, plus one planned repeat.Most slow cooker books are written for a family and a six-quart machine. Halving those recipes does not work: the liquid ratios go wrong, the food spreads thin across a hot base, and dinner is dry two hours before you get home. This book starts from the other end. All 112 recipes were written from scratch for a small cooker, at a size a solo cook actually eats - and every one tells you exactly what to do with the second portion, so leftovers become a plan instead of a punishment.Chapters follow the rhythm of a working week, not a menu: dishes you set before work, dishes ready an hour after you get home, one-pot suppers, small roasts, grains and beans, soups that do not colonise the fridge, slow breakfasts, and a whole chapter called Half a Bunch of Things for using up the parsley, the half cabbage and the four mushrooms you were about to throw out.WHAT'S INSIDE- 112 original recipes, each with yield in portions, prep time, and cook times on both LOW and HIGH- US measures with metric in parentheses, and method steps written specifically for a roughly 2-quart cooker- A "make it tomorrow" idea on every recipe, so the second portion has a destination before you cook- Why filling to one-half to two-thirds matters, and how small cookers behave differently from big ones- How to scale any standard six-serving recipe down without guessing- Practical shopping in tiny quantities: buying from counters, freezing in the portions you cook in, and a short pantry that carries the whole book- A cooking-time chart by ingredient, a substitution chart, and a full index by main ingredient- Clear, conservative food-safety guidance: safe internal temperatures, no starting from frozen, dried kidney beans boiled hard first, cooling and reheating rules
