Are you excited to celebrate Slow Cooker Month throughout January? Do you have a favorite slow cooker recipe? Tender pot roasts? Hearty chili? Pulled pork? Jerk chicken? Homemade soup? Or extra cheesy Mac & Cheese? The history of the slow cooker is just as delicious as the food it cooks! Inventor Irving Nachumsohn obtained his patent for a slow cooking device on Jan. 23, 1940, which was later named the Crock-Pot. The original intent for the cooking device was to make cholent, a traditional Jewish dish of meat, potatoes and beans that is typically eaten on the Sabbath. While the original intent of the device has expanded over the decades, there’s one thing that is for certain, it’s time to start slow cooking! Check out our recipe database by following the link.
