Better Homes and Gardens Fast or Slow

September 15, 2018

For those who appreciate the option of preparing the same meal in different ways, the editors at Better Homes and Gardens have created an essential resource. After an overview of pressure cooking and slow cooker know-how, several simple yet flavorful recipes present "fast" options for using a pressure cooker (or multicooker, such as an Instant Pot) along with "slow" options to create the same dish using a slow cooker. Breakfasts and desserts are included but main courses are the star. Loaded Italian grinder sandwiches, Moroccan apricot chicken, and chickpea and vegetable curry can be prepared on the weekend for ready lunches and dinners all week long. Photographs accompany each recipe, offering a solid guideline for the finished product. VERDICT This first cookbook to merge these popular appliances, pressure cookers and slow cookers, should reach a wide audience.
