Fall in Love with Low-Temperature Cooking
Crisp air, hot drinks, and warm autumn colors. What better time of year to fall in love with low-temperature cooking? As cooking methods go, it has a lot to recommend it—especially in autumn.
As the weather cools, the average American kitchen churns out a veritable bounty of food, and most of it – from soups, to casseroles, to holiday feasts – is of the slow-cooking variety. While all these hearty favorites are a comforting part of colder weather, the energy required to cook them represents a small but significant part of our monthly energy bill.
As it turns out, though cooking accounts for only 4.5% of total energy use, that number can be decreased even further by relying on low-temperature cooking methods.
If you're looking to engage in this cooking style throughout the fall and winter seasons, you've come to the right place. We've put together a few options for you to try.
Low-Temperature Cooking for Fall
This Cranberry Pork Roast is to die for, containing all the flavors of fall with none of the hassle. With only twenty-five minutes of prep and a solid six hours slow cooking, you will enjoy one of the tastiest meals ever with very little effort on your part.
For those who would prefer chicken over pork, we recommend this recipe for Chicken with Sugar Pumpkins & Apricots. Savory, seasonal, and slow-cooked to perfection—it's practically unmissable!
Whichever entree you choose, consider pairing it with a side of these Best Loaded Slow-Cooker Potatoes. Though the recipe calls for baby potatoes, you can easily substitute in a larger variety. Just be sure either to cut them into smaller chunks or adjust your cook time accordingly.
