Who couldn’t use a little more free time in his or her day? Slow cookers can create that by enabling home chefs to set their ingredients to simmer early in the day and then head to work, school, recreational activities \u2014 pretty much whatever they need to get done \u2014 as the food cooks. Not being beholden to the kitchen is a benefit slow cookers offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stews and slow cookers often go hand-in-hand. Enjoy this recipe for “Chicken Stew with Herb Dumplings” from “Crock*Pot\u00ae 365 Year-Round Recipes” (Publications International, Ltd.) by the Crock*Pot Test Kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
