The slow cooker is a mainstay of modern American cooking — but it’s not just you and me firing up the Crock-Pot on a weeknight. Famous chefs and celebrities are not above its charms, and this week we’re bringing you five recipes from five kitchen stars that show off their favorite ways to put the slow cooker to good use.
For the average home cook (like me), homemade candy seems like an intimidating, labor-intensive thing to pull off. You need a special thermometer, the temperature has to be just right, it’s all too easy to mess up, and the whole process seems finicky at best, vaguely dangerous at worst.
But that’s one of the very best, time-honored uses of the slow cooker: quietly tricking family members and dinner guests into thinking you’ve singlehandedly labored over difficult recipes for hours when, in reality, all it usually takes is assembling a few ingredients in the crock, turning it on, and walking away.
That’s what makes this recipe from country music star and celebrated cook Trisha Yearwood such a winner. Well, that, and the fact that it results in delicious, made-from-scratch candy, of course.
