Fix-It and Forget-It Baking with Your Slow Cooker: 150 Slow Cooker Recipes for Breads, Pizza, Cakes, Tarts, Crisps, Bars, Pies, Cupcakes, and More!

I am a home baker and love to try new methods. Slow cooker baking works! Great cook book!I like the 5 pages of tips and hints to be successful baking in a slow cooker. Cakes some out great! I baked the Spicy Chocolate Pumpkin Cake on page 101, and it came out wonderful. Moist and dense like Brownies. I baked it 2 hours in my 6 quart oval slow cooker. Just read all the hints and tips and check the progress of your cake.I took the inch thick book to an office shop and had it spiral bound so it lays flat on my counter. I will be baking lots more of these recipes.

I bought this book because of the high ratings, it was a good deal on Bookbub, and I was intrigued by the thought of baking in a slow cooker. I've baked potatoes, wrapping them in foil and leaving them all day or over night but not real actual BAKING. The book doesn't disappoint. I'm tempted to go buy a much bigger cooker than the one I have. And her equivalency charts in the index are alone worth the price. I love outside the U.S. and am forever juggling conversions. At least with a slow cooker I can skip the Celsius/Fahrenheit calculation.

If you been cooking you will have no problem with this book. Just starting to cook, jump right in. The recipes are well written and easy to follow. many only require a bowl and a spoon or whisk. The ingredients for the most part are what you have in your pantry. If not, they are obtainable anywhere. I have done some cooking in the slow cooker but didn't think to make pies, pizza, etc.I like the idea that most of the recipes in the front of the book only make 4 servings. With only 2 of us most recipes make much to much for us to finish. All recipes should be easy to prepare. I don't know which I want to make first as I have a number I think should be first.

I bought this book through Amazon "used" and saved a few dollars. The book itself is clean with no writing, and the binder is intact. It looks almost new.Browsing through the pages, I can't wait to try many of these recipes. I've been experimenting with my new Crock Pot Express XL and made some pretty amazing, healthy meals. Now I want to attempt to make desserts without turning on my oven, and this recipe book has some great ideas. Cakes from scratch, custards and pies! Oh my! I may even explore the pizza chapter!!

I own 6 slow cookers and 21 slow cooker cookbooks. This book opened up a whole new use of my bigger cookers.Yes, it covers all of the "bakies" listed on the cover plus a chapter on 12 Granolas if you want healthier breakfasts and snacks. Pictures of each recipe result as written plus instructions on how to create variations give both "strict followers" and "let's try this" cooks a world of delicious outcomes.

Recipes interesting and pictures are great. The biggest problem is the lack of information on how to get things out of the pot without making a mess. For items baked in a pan within the crock, getting them out isn't very difficult but try taking a pie out when the instructions are to press the crust into the crock pot.

For years my landlord has refused to replace the non-functioning oven, so I eventually bought a small benchtop oven, but that seriously limits the amount I can do. This book has been fantastic in giving me more scope for baking by expanding what I can do in the slow cooker.I originally bought it on the Kindle when it came up on a Kindle books sale newsletter I get, but I liked it and used it so much that I bought a not-on-sale hardcopy version. It is also marvelous for summer - no more unbearably hot kitchen, making the slow cooker a year round appliance now, rather than just a winter meals item to be stored away over summer.

I have used slow cookers for years - but for "meals" - not baking. So I could not help myself when I saw this and ordered it. To date I have cooked many recipes and have been pleased with most. Some. like the granola, are not exactly "fix-it and forget" because you have to stir the granola every 20 mins. But as I continue to explore - I am finding more ways to use my slow cooker. And as slow cooker people know - this type of cooking is delicious but does not heat up a home like an oven does - and more importantly you can come home to a meal - and now desserts. YUM!

Wow! Who would have ever thought one could bake with this appliance; these recipes are really versatile & use ingredients found in most homes.

Fab book, gives you some great ideas and once you understand the basic stuff you can just riff on a theme. Very American, so if you're UK-based, have your cup measures ready and be prepared for almost unbelievable quantities of sugar. That said, everything is yummy! Who knew you could bake bread and cake in a slow cooker?!I noticed an earlier review complaining that all the cakes were cake mix recipes - they're not! There's a section called 'shortcut cakes' which includes American cake mixes, but there's another cakes from scratch section which gives you everything else to work with.

A must have book with great content. Although both the first book and the replacement book arrived damage with torns, folds and scratches, the content in the book is perfect and has so many many delicious quick breads, yeasted breads, pizzas, quiches, pies and cakes. It is a full photos book and everything looks extremely delicious. I would love to try making everything from this book in the slow cooker. Now I am so confident with this fix and forget it books from Phyllis Good and has ordered a few more of her slow cooker books. I am very confident that I would love them all.

Lovely photographs, delicious recipes. Has revolutionised the way I use my slow cooker, crowd-pleasing recipes. American recipes so you need google on hand to convert - nice ideas and has kept us going during lockdown. Will be buying more from the same author, wish I'd discovered her before as have spent too long feeling mystified by how to bake with a slow cooker.

I have used a slow cooker for many years first as a busy working mum and now as a busy retiree but have only really used it for main meals Saw this book and thought I would give it a look and I am really pleased I did Some of the recipes are real eye-opener Did you know you can cook pies and cakes in a slow cooker Well I didn't but I do now and you can If you are looking for more ways to use your crock pot all year round and almost every day give this book a try I would recommend it
