Customer Reviews

Good!
Slow cooking in a crock pot comes in very handy sometimes, especially on days when you are very busy and Don't have time to prepare a time consuming gourmet meal and book is pretty good good and has some recipes that are easy to make and I recommend this book.

Crock Pot Cooking
I have an old copy of Mabel Hoffman's Crockery Cookery that is falling apart. This is one of the best books around. I have a few others, but they are not in the same league as Mabel's book. The recipes are simple to follow and ingredients are easy to find. No mess, no fuss. Three chears Mabel!!!

Just ask Mable
This book is a wonderful collection of crockpot recipes and ideas. It begins with 100-page introductory section with information on menu planning, use and care of your crockpot, and a consumer's guide to crockpots, detailing differences between crockpot brands. Next come the recipes, with chapters for beef, other meats, poultry, vegetables, appetizers and beverages, soups and sandwiches, main dishes, beans, breads and cakes, and fruits and desserts. You name it, if you can eat it, Mable will tell you how to prepare it in your crockpot.

I've tried a number of these recipes, and none have ever gone wrong. There's nothing like tossing a roast in the pot in the morning with some onions and fruit, and coming back in the evening to the wonderful aromas of slow-cooked meat. At first, I was a little unsure of how to begin with crockpot cooking, but with Mable's guidance, everything has turned out just fine.
