What are the benefits of using a slow cooker?
A slow cooker is a kitchen appliance that cooks food at a low temperature for a long time. It is often used in the preparation of soups, stews, and other types of braised dishes.
There are many benefits to using a slow cooker.
The first benefit is that it’s an energy-efficient way to cook food. Slow cookers use about one-tenth the energy of an electric oven or stovetop.
The second benefit is that you can put all your ingredients into the pot before you go to work and then come home to dinner already made!
The third benefit is that it’s easy on your wallet because you can buy cheaper cuts of meat and they will turn out tender and delicious!
What are some variations that can be made to the lo-mein?
Variations of lo-mein dishes are endless. Some variations include:
1) adding water chestnuts to the mix
2) adding chicken or beef to the dish
3) adding mushrooms
4) using brown rice noodles instead of lo-mein noodles
