IF YOURE NEW TO COOKING VEGAN OR USING A SLOW COOKER, let me be the first to congratulate you on trying something new! Cooking for a small family, or just yourself, has its benefits. All your groceries will actually fit into your fridge, and you wont end up needing a full-sized freezer just to store the leftovers from a giant slow cooker. The little slow cooker, 1 1/2 to 2 quarts (1.5 to 2 L) in size, is so easy to use that it makes cooking every day a snap, so you can enjoy a variety of healthy foods at a fraction of the cost of eating out. Having a different meal every night is much better than making a big pot of chili and eating it for seven days straight. Stay open-minded and youll find a whole new world of food to fall in love with. Theres Thai Massaman Curry () you can have any day of the year. Youll be amazed at what you can do with your little slow cooker! Over the years Ive cooked for myself, my partner, and my friends when they had their first child.
All of these situations involve families of one kind or another for which you can easily create healthy meals with your slow cooker. And with just a little effort, you, too, will be cooking delicious meals that your small family will love. Inside, youll find some great tips and tricks on using your slow cooker along with a few hints to save both time and effort. My small slow cooker recipes are some of my most popular ones on my blog, healthyslowcooking.com. It can be difficult to face the task of making dinner from scratch when youve been working all day.
On my blog, I often talk about people getting one, two, or even three of them. You really dont want to know just how many Ive accumulated while writing this book! For testing the recipes for this book, I, along with my amazing testers, used modern 1 1/2- or 2-quart (1.5 to 2 L) slow cookers. If you have an older one, say a Crockette, you will need to adjust the liquids down, as older models dont run as hot and therefore dont burn off as much liquid. Many modern ones run much hotter. Some will boil and others wont, but once you get used to your slow cooker, youll know how to adjust any recipes in it. Just be patient with your new slow cooker while youre getting used to itI promise you its worth it.
Also note that smaller slow cookers can tolerate a greater range of food volume, meaning you can fill these little beauties up more (or less) than larger slow cookers, which typically require filling to 1/2 to 3/4 capacity. This is because smaller cookers hold less volume overall, so their heat distribution is more even and consistent. Ive filled mine 7/8 full, and even halfway or less (when baking a cookie), and it works every time! I cant state strongly enough, however, that learning how your slow cooker works is the key to making a great meal. Its worth your time and effort, and you will be rewarded with many breakfasts and dinners waiting for you.
That way I can wake up to a wholesome breakfast and come home to a ready-to-eat dinner. I have never had a problem with any of my 20-plus slow cookers (both old and new), but there are a few things that you can do to ease your mind. Always make sure the area around the slow cooker and its cord is clear. The outside of the slow cooker is metal and should never come into contact with paper or other combustibles. You also want to make sure its out of reach of little hands or paws. The metal sides get hot enough to burn delicate fingers.
Most slow cookers have feet that separate the hot body from the countertop. The best way to leave nothing to chance is to place a trivet under the slow cooker. Depending on the type of countertop you have, you may want to double up on the trivets or put the trivet on top of a pot holder. That way, if your slow cooker gets really hot, your counter wont be damaged. I have never damaged a counter myself, but a cookbook author friend of mine, Debbie Moose, told me a slow cooker melted hers. So its better to be safe than sorry.
When you buy a new slow cooker, you should always stay at home the first time you cook in it. That way if there is a defect, youll be there to catch it. Its a good idea to do this with any appliances that involve heat. 
NOTE: COOKING TIMES FOR THE RECIPES Most of the recipes in this book cook for 7 to 9 hours. But some of the recipes cook in 1 1/2 to 3 hours. The quicker cooking times are best for weekends, holidays, or evenings when you can wait an hour or two for dinner.
Most of the pastas fall into this category because by their nature they cook fast. Many of the desserts cook in shorter times, too, which allows you to start them just before dinner so they are ready when you are. Cooking times are marked in each recipe for you to be able to pick these out.
