About Crock-Pot Express Cookbook: 5 Ingredients or Less – Easy, Healthy, and Irresistible Recipes for Nourishing and Delicious Meals
Pressure cookers are all the rage nowadays, and Crock-Pot – the standard in slow cookers – is ready to play the game!
Slow cookers have made home-cooking convenient for generations while producing amazing meals. However, people are also itching to have fast cooking as an option, and digital pressure cookers have been flying off the shelves. With the Crock-Pot Express Multi-Cooker, you can now own the best of both worlds and have the option to slow cook or fast cook all of your favorite foods. You will learn all you need to know about this new kitchen device, including how to use the pressure-cooker function.
The construction is a bit different than the standard slow cooker, so you’ll find out what parts like the gasket and pressure valve do, as well as what terms like “quick-release” mean. The Multi-Cooker comes equipped with cooking programs and functions, which the book will walk you through. All devices are bound to have some issues, so you’ll also learn how to troubleshoot common problems, like undercooked food or a stuck lid. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the Express Multi-Cooker, you’ll get to the best part of the book: the recipes. Because convenience is your top priority, all the recipes have a maximum of five ingredients. Learn how to make great dishes with both the slow cooker and pressure cooker functions, including:
Egg-and-Sausage Casseroles
Chicken Alfredo
BBQ Brisket
Baby Back Ribs
Shrimp ‘n Grits
Peanut Butter Chex Mix
Crème Brûlée
You’ll even find a vegan section in the book, which makes this eating lifestyle easy and delicious. If you want to convert recipes from slow cooker to pressure cooker, and vice versa, you’ll find a simple guide on how to do that. Whether you’re a lifelong user of slow cookers and are interested in pressure cooking, or you’re new to both, this cookbook will take the mystery out of two styles of cooking, while giving you dozens of recipes to start with.

Ever since she was a child, Janet Cole loved being in the kitchen. Cherished memories of baking scones and muffins with her older sister propelled her into the food world as an adult, where she tested recipes for a living before venturing into cookbooks. Testing recipes allowed Janet to try a wide variety of food from all over the world and broaden her cooking horizons. She learned everything from how to cook the perfect chicken breast, to the wonders of smoked paprika and Garam masala, and why pork belly is better than bacon. Her two favorite pieces of kitchen equipment became the slow cooker and the digital pressure cooker, and now with the Crock-Pot Express Multi-Cooker, she gets both in one!
As the mother of a toddler, Janet knows how important healthy, but easy recipes are for the busy parent. Her favorite part about creating recipes is taking classic, delicious food and turning it into accessible dishes that anyone can make and that kids will love. She hopes to demystify ingredients like tofu, lamb, and unique spices while also providing tried-and-true advice on family-favorite meals like chicken and dumplings, beef brisket, berry cobbler, and more.
When she isn’t writing and trying out new dishes, Janet loves to keep her body and mind active. Her two chocolate labs – Coco and Scully – keep her busy outside, even in the Seattle rain. When she’s ready to relax, you’ll find Janet curled up in her favorite loveseat with a book of Mary Oliver poems or getting competitive during game night with her friends. Janet’s daughter is already taking after her foodie mom, and loves roasted chickpeas and avocado. Janet bets that in no time, she’ll be cooking and baking up a storm right beside Mom!
