The joy of simmering your food is that you just have to toss the ingredients into a slow cooker, leave it for a few hours, and then you can enjoy a satisfying meal. A slow cooker brings out the flavor of the food. It also tenderizes less expensive cuts of meat, so you don’t have to spend a lot to enjoy a five-star dish!
