It seems a bit of a contradiction that a slow cooker book will help you make food quickly, but while it's true that the start-to-finish cooking times are long, the actual hands-on preparation doesn't take long at all. And once the ingredients are prepared and placed in the slow cooker, your work is done. No further attention needed until you are ready to serve up a hot meal. All of the recipes in Slow Cooker require less than 30 minutes of hands-on prep time, many of them less than 15 minutes.
