I am a big fan of using the crockpot in the summer heat. It really does very little to heat up the kitchen at all, but if its REALLY hot out, you can plug it into the outside plug on the veranda or by the BBQ. We have many crockpot recipes we enjoy, but a few are very memorable. We also like to hit up the local library for free cookbooks to borrow. You can put all the ingrediants in in the morning when its cooler, and by supper on low heat, dinners ready! It also takes very little energy to cook in them. And they are not very expensive, you can usually find some even at the local Salvation Army or whatever... Which I highly reccomend trying before Walmart.
Our fave recipe:
Crockpot beef or pork roast:
1 large roast, browned in skillet first with 2 cloves of garlic and olive oil.
BBQ sauce of choice, either homemade, or we like Sweet Baby Ray's best.
Pack of hamburger buns.
Brown roast, put into crock,add about a cup of water. cook all day. Shred with forks in pot when done. Use slotted spoon, lift onto buns, add BBQ.
