Sixty-Three Percent of Surveyed Slow Cooker Fans Use Their Slow Cookers All Year Long

Northbrook, IL – In a recent survey conducted by AllFreeSlowCookerRecipes.com, we found that 63.7 percent of readers surveyed said they use their slow cooker all year long, not just during one particular season. Thirty-four percent said they used their slow cookers most during the winter, and about 20 percent said they use their slow cookers most during the fall season. The survey was taken by subscribers of The Slow Cooker Chronicle and was conducted for two weeks.

 

The survey included questions on how readers engage with our newsletters, and also asked readers about their slow cooking habits. As we head into November, it was interesting to find that of all the major holidays, our readers use their slow cookers most for Thanksgiving, with Christmas coming in a close second. Throughout the year, 12 percent of those surveyed use their slow cookers three to four times a week, and 21 percent use their slow cookers twice a week. It should be no surprise that over 57 percent of those surveyed consider themselves to be intermediate-level cooks!

 

When we asked readers which ingredient, from a list of 13, was their favorite to incorporate in their cooking, 89 percent of those surveyed chose chicken. That said, when we asked readers what was the quirkiest way they’ve ever cooked with their slow cookers, they had some wild slow cooker uses, including using their slow cookers to make tie dye, soap, to melt wax for candles, to thaw auto parts, to prepare dog food, to germinate plant seeds, to make cold medicine, to heat stones for a back massage, and more! Some respondents erred more on the side of traditional. One respondent noted, “I found baking a cake in the crock pot so foreign, until I did it and now I barely use my oven for such things as cakes.”

 

You’ll find many slow cooker “baking” ideas on AllFreeSlowCookerRecipes.com, along with hundreds of other easy cooking ideas. We advise you to wash your slow cooker or keep a separate one in the house if you’re going to try cooking up inedible items, such as auto parts in your crock!

 

At AllFreeSlowCookerRecipes.com, we encourage you to get as creative as you can when using your slow cooker. We’re here to help you cook up delicious creations. We want to thank all of those folks who participated in our survey. We will use the results from this survey to improve our Web site and newsletter, The Slow Cooker Chronicle. We always welcome your feedback.

AllFreeSewing Offers Cost-Effective Thanksgiving Ideas in New eBook

Northbrook, IL — With just a month away, it’s time to start thinking of your Thanksgiving plans. You know you’ll be celebrating somehow, and you might even know where the dinner will be held this year, but what else is ready? Preparing for Thanksgiving involves more than dropping big bucks at the grocery store. There are several other aspects to entertaining during Turkey Day, and one of them is decorations. AllFreeSewing proudly releases its first ever eBook that hones in on November’s national holiday. In Give Thanks: 10 Sewing Ideas for Thanksgiving you’ll find kid and adult-friendly Thanksgiving crafts. Each and every one contributes heavily to the overall aesthetic of your Thanksgiving design.

Apart from the gorgeous products that these ten tutorials yield, creating works from this free copy of Give Thanks: 10 Sewing Ideas for Thanksgiving also works wonders on your wallet. You might wonder how. Switch gears to the food aspect of the holiday. Any citizen who purchased a turkey last year for Thanksgiving may recall the heavy price tag of their much anticipated meal. According to the National Turkey Federation, both the 2012 drought and requirements set by the RFS affected corn prices and therefore feed availability. As the National Turkey Federation explains, “This chain of events has led to higher food prices overall.” Suddenly, your moderately priced meal became much more expensive.

This year, approach your Thanksgiving celebration with frugality. You can’t help the price of food, but you can control your budget when it comes to decorations. Instead of buying Thanksgiving decorations that you picked out of your favorite retailer’s catalog, make your own from the Give Thanks: 10 Sewing Ideas for Thanksgiving free eBook. Thanksgiving crafts from this eBook provide solutions to your table top troubles, dinner place mat dilemmas, and children’s high energy during dinner.

Apart from its budget-friendliness and design contributions, Give Thanks: 10 Sewing Ideas for Thanksgiving can enhance your holiday by providing priceless memories. Work with friends and family to make DIY Thanksgiving decorations that will create shared experiences to enjoy and remember. Thanksgiving ideas start here in this free eBook from AllFreeSewing. Don’t wait to download your copy and prepare for the holiday practically and creatively.

In 2012, the ILYD Facebook fan page went from 2,550 to 10,560 “likes” and ILYD became a trending topic on Twitter.

Creating your own clothes and accessories using just a little bit of yarn and a crochet hook is definitely a quick and easy way to save a few pennies this year.

Inside Lion Brand’s New Fall Collection: 15 Free Crochet Scarf Patterns, Afghan Patterns, and More, you will find the most stylish crochet patterns for fall. Each one of these crochet designs were hand-picked by the Lion Brand Design Team and were created with the autumn months in mind.
