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.

Mosey up to Cowboy Trend with New RecipeLion eCookbook
Northbrook, IL — Cowboys are having a moment in the sun right now. From cowboy boots on the fashion runways to new cowboy films coming soon to a theater near you, it seems everything “western” in on trend at the moment. Cooking is no exception, as cowboy cuisine has been seeing an increase in popularity lately. In a December 2012 survey conducted by RecipeLion.com, cowboy recipes were listed as one of the top three food trends that most interested visitors to the site.
The popularity of cowboy culture is most evident when looking at the recent movies to come out of Hollywood. In just the past few years, there have been a slew of Western-inspired flicks including Cowboys & Aliens (2011), Rango (2011), Dawn Rider (2012), Django Unchained (2012) and the upcoming Disney-produced version of The Lone Ranger (out July 2013).
Noticing this increased interest in all things cowboy, the editors of RecipeLion.com have created a brand new recipe collection of Western inspired dishes. In Classic Cowboy Recipes: 27 Authentic Western Recipes (available for free download), anyone can learn how to cook like a cowboy. From Western appetizer recipes to sweet country-style dessert recipes and everything in between, the dishes in this cowboy recipe collection will take home cooks on a culinary tour of the Wild West and introduce them to new and exciting cowboy-inspired meal ideas. Inside this 42-page eCookbook, find easy recipes for delicious dishes including Montana Cowboy Stew, Cowboy Chicken Pizza, Southwestern Wagonwheel Pasta, Beef Nacho Casserole, Western Butter Biscuits, Cowpoke Pudding and more.

Survey Shows Home Cooks’ Preferences and Habits
Northbrook, IL – A December 2012 survey revealed the cooking preferences and habits of home cooks who subscribe to Quick and Easy Recipes, the free eNewsletter published by RecipeLion.com. The goal of the survey was to better understand what readers like to cook, how they like to cook, who they cook for, and what their overall cooking experience is like. The survey was also designed to understand the reasons behind why people cook at home… and some of the answers were surprising.
When asked whether they thought cooking at home leads to healthier eating, 93% of readers responded that they believed they ate better when meals were prepared at home (versus dining out). These findings are supported by other recent studies which have shown that home cooking does, in fact, have a positive effect on overall health and longevity. A 2012 survey conducted by researchers at Cambridge University found that people who cook at home up to five times a week were 47 percent more likely to still be alive after 10 years.
Out of the 5,053 respondents to the RecipeLion survey, a majority 61.5% said that they cook at home five or more times a week and a vast majority described their cooking experience level as either intermediate or advanced. Nearly half of respondents said they typically cook for two people while 37% said that they cook for three or more people. The most preferred types of dishes to cook at home were dinner entrees (79.5%), casseroles (64%) and desserts (58%). Top ingredients to cook with included chicken, beef, pasta and vegetables.
One of the most interesting findings of the study was that 45.5% of respondents said they do not plan out their meals ahead of time. In fact, only 14.5% of respondents said that they plan their weekly menus at the start of the week. According to the study, the most important factors when considering recipes to make were the cooking time, preparation time, number of ingredients and cost of ingredients.
Other survey findings:
- 64.4% of respondents agreed that having a photo of a finished dish makes a recipe more appealing.
- 37% of respondents were interested in old-fashioned and vintage recipes.
- 25% of respondents said they were interested in copycat restaurant recipes.
- 77% of respondents were interested in seeing more recipes from Pinterest.

Save Time Baking with the Cake Mix Recipes in this New eCookbook
Northbrook, IL — With busy schedules and ever-increasing commitments, people are more pressed for time than ever before. One of the places that time crunch is felt most is in the kitchen, where home cooks are looking for ways to speed up their meal preparation and get dinner on the table in the most time efficient manner. Luckily, the editors of RecipeLion.com recognize that need for efficiency and have prepared a collection of quick and easy dessert recipes. The new eCookbook, 24 Effortless Recipes with Cake Mix, features a variety of simple yet delicious sweets that can be whipped up quickly with the aid of a handy boxed cake mix.
According to a 2010 study conducted by Harris Interactive, 75% of people who prepare meals at home said that they often used pre-prepared and/or frozen ingredients to speed up the cooking process. Furthermore, another study found that of the 70% of households that regularly cook at home, the majority of them claimed a heavy reliance on “convenience foods.” The study, which was conducted by UCLA’s Center on Everyday Lives for Families, noted that these households most often used mixes and pre-packaged ingredients to cut corners and save time in their cooking.
Recognizing this need for “convenience cooking” recipes, the editors of RecipeLion.com created a handy collection of easy-to-make dishes that feature cake mix as one of the star ingredients. In the free eCookbook, 24 Effortless Recipes with Cake Mix, readers will find plenty of quick and simple dessert recipes that will save them time in the kitchen. Included in the mouthwatering collection are recipes for chocolate cakes, fruity cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and brownies.
