In my area we’ve been hitting 100 degrees for several days so honestly I have had NO motivation to cook. Why heat up the house even more with a 350 degree oven. Grilling? I’m not going to stand in front of a flame in this weather!
My go-to cooking method in the heat? The slow cooker! It’s like a mini oven that doesn’t add ten degrees to the temperature of my house!
A few items you may not thought of cooking in the slow cooker:
Baked Potatoes. Wrap in foil and place in crockpot- cook until soft.
Ribs: place ribs on top of sliced onions cook 7-9 hours. Cover with sauce
Roasts: Cook the same as in the oven!
Roasted chicken: Cook the same as in the oven!
There are a ton of recipe sites all over with crock pot recipes!

Thanks Tijuana.
Yup, been cooking in mine quite a bit lately. I LOVE my slow cooker. I have TONS of recipes if you need any.
I love to make steel cut oats in the crockpot overnight.
