Cooking food at high heat breaks down the nutrition, and burns it off. That delicious aroma that is permeating your kitchen? That's your nutrition being burnt away because it has been cooked on too high of a heat.
The temperature of a microwave is 400 degrees. By the time you pull the food out, it isn't even food anymore. Foods cooked on a low temperature will retain the nutrition. High quality cookware, like Salad Master or Revere Cookware, will cook food thoroughly and quickly on lower heat. Cookware from these companies have seals that act like a vacuum seal. This enables you to keep the dial on your stove at medium.
Slow cookers are also perfect for hot weather because they won’t heat up the kitchen the way an oven does. The cookware keeps the nutrition in so their is no aroma or heat in the house.
Another benefit to crockpot cooking is that it saves you a lot of time. You put all the ingredients, fresh or frozen, in the crockpot, and let it slow cook all day. By the time you return home from the end of the day, dinner is ready. And you can be assured that the food that you're eating is full of nutrition.
Cleaning up is easy too. There is no messy oven to scrub or dirty pots to clean. You clean one pot - the crockpot - and you’re done. You can find free recipes on the Internet.
