The oven is already full. That is what the slow cooker is for.
There is one oven in most kitchens and, on the twenty-fifth of December, about nine things that all want to be in it at once. The bird needs three hours and the whole top shelf. The potatoes want fierce heat, the pudding wants gentle heat, and the ham wants glazing at the exact moment the gravy needs attention. Every Christmas dinner that has gone wrong went wrong in that queue.
The Complete Christmas Slow Cooker Bible is 55 recipes written for the pot, in which every one either frees the oven for something else or does something the oven does badly. Each sits on exactly one page - no turning back and forth mid-recipe - and opens with the three things you actually need to know before you commit: how many it serves, how long it takes, and which setting.
Inside:
- 10 roasts and mains - glazed Christmas ham, red wine brisket, herb butter turkey breast, short ribs in port, lamb shanks, and a chestnut and lentil roast that actually slices
- 10 sides and casseroles - mashed potato made in the morning and held until eight, scalloped potatoes, sage and onion stuffing, braised red cabbage, macaroni cheese for twenty
- 9 party dips and appetizers - spinach and artichoke, buffalo chicken, queso that does not split, baked brie, cranberry meatballs, honey garlic wings, spiced party nuts
- 8 soups and stews - including the two best answers to a picked-over carcass and a leftover ham bone
- 8 hot drinks by the potful - wassail, mulled white wine with pear and cardamom, hot pomegranate punch, chai concentrate, toddy for a crowd, spiced coffee
- 10 puddings and edible gifts - sticky toffee, self-saucing chocolate, steamed cranberry orange pudding, dulce de leche, salted caramel apple butter, mincemeat in four hours
And 14 pages you will not find in a recipe-only book: the safe internal temperatures that matter and why a slow cooker has no margin for guessing, how full the pot has to be, what goes in at the start and what waits until the final hour, why slow-cooked food tastes flat and the three ten-minute fixes for it, how to convert your own oven recipes, how to hold food safely on a buffet for three hours, how long every kind of leftover really keeps, and a troubleshooting table for the fourteen things that go wrong.
It also tells you the one thing most slow-cooker books leave out: dried red kidney beans are genuinely dangerous in a slow cooker, and exactly what to do about it.
You do not need a second oven or a bigger kitchen. You need one pot, a thermometer, and a morning.
Scroll up and take the queue out of Christmas dinner.
