This appliance uses very little power and does not heat up the house on warm days. I also like it because it saves my energy.
Lentils work well in a slow cooker.
Unlike some other dried legumes including brown, pinto, or navy beans, they do not require soaking. Buy a 1-pound bag, open, and pick through the small split beans to check for rocks. Then wash and put into the crock-pot. Or, if you don t want to mess up another pan, just sprinkle in a liberal portion of dehydrated onion and vegetable flakes. Be generous with the veggies.
