These Spring and Summer Slow Cooker Recipes Are Not To Be Missed

No need to put away your slow cooker now the temperature is rising – with these spring and summer slow cooker recipes you’ll be able to continue to use it all year round, without heating up your kitchen!

These lighter and fresher slow cooker recipes really are not to be missed. And there are no stews or casseroles in sight!

Many people think a slow cooker is only useful for making cold weather dishes like meat stew and chilli. But that really isn’t the case.

When you can make loaves of bread, vegetables for salads, side dishes, meats for slicing and much more in your slow cooker, this shows you can still rely on it to make fresh and flavourful dishes for the warmer months, keeping the convenience factor that is key with slow cooker cooking.

Of course the other positives are that the cost of using a slow cooker is so low compared to using your main oven, and when the weather is really hot cooking in a slow cooker won’t make your kitchen any hotter!
